04/17: Forbes: Diddy is the Wealthiest Artist in Hip-Hop
Forbes has released
The Forbes Five, a list of the wealthiest artists in hip-hop. This is not to be confused with their annual
Hip-Hop Cash Kings list. This list ranks the top 5 hip-hop artists by net worth.
Diddy comes out on top with an estimated net worth of $550 million. Even more interesting is that
Zach O'Malley Greenburg mentions that Diddy will own REVOLT,
his new television network, outright. He suggests that the value of the network, based on projected viewership totals, could be valued in the low-to-mid nine figures within a few years.
The rest of the list:
2. Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, $460 million
3. Andre "Dr. Dre" Young, $260 million
4. Bryan "Birdman" Williams, $125 million
5. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, $110 million
