Diddy Leads Jay-Z and Dr.Dre to Top Forbes 2013 List Of Wealthiest Artistes

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has always been one of the biggest business magnates of our time, with the Bad Boy CEO moving from musical to non-musical ventures with ease.

Today Forbes reported who the world’s five wealthiest hip-hop artists are, and Combs topped the list with an estimated net worth of $580 million. The rapper-actor-producer-entrepreneur also was number one on the list last year, when his net worth was a reported $550 million.

Forbes reports that a good chuck of his wealth comes from non-musical ventures, like his deal with Diageo’s Ciroc vodka brand, which supplies the rapper with eight-figure annual payouts.

2. Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter — $475 million
3. Andre “Dr. Dre” Young — $350 million
4. Bryan “Birdman” Williams — $150 million
