Don't waste your time bro... Some people just like being misinformed... A simple google search and some reading and it's easy to know that HTC sold back their controlling shares...
that's the amazing thing! its crazy how life can change for the worse or for the better sometimes.
He built deathrow into a monster and had to leave the place with nothing
now here he is, a monster in the music-technology game while deathrow is nothing
I wish Dr.Dre would do more interviews man....I'm sure his life story and especially, the last two decades could be a great story of triumph

lol what?
nikka Apple owns that streaming service(Beats Music) now
Beats music just got absorbed into iTunes Radio like a monster from the Kirby video games
Dre 2011 net worth (pre-beats) - $125 million
Dre net worth Today: $550million (net "worth" also factoring in things like how much he'd get for SELLING his company... As it doesn't base it off how much he has in the bank, but how much his companies are worth IF SOLD)
That's about $400 million net worth from beats alone. (with bout $50 of that being money already earned in the bank)
In 2011 Beats was worth $600 million *as a whole*, dre got $100million for selling 50% of the company as a whole (16.665% of his stake) . Now if he sells the WHOLE company (seeing as Carlyne owns 50% after paying $500million in 2013.. They basically bought HTC's stock at a higher price)... He will net $500million before taxes if it's sold for $3.20billion (Company is worth 5x more than it was in 2011... $600mil vs $3.2 .. 5x $100mil = $500mil)
His Net worth RIGHT NOW even if he didn't own beats: $200 million (kendrick, Eminem brought in a few checks since the $125mil in 2011.. and then $50 mil earnings from beats..)
His Net Worth AFTER The Beats Sell / taxes: $600million, except the funds will be LIQUID now instead of an "estimated value" of what he'd get IF he sold the company
So essentialy, his net worth isn't budging much....
(same shyt I said before, but just have the facts laid out better now... Instead of HTC owning 50%, Carlyne owns 50%... same difference)Stating nothing but facts, and I'm the bad man
"Yo Bentley, break out that Grape flavor Ciroc we been sitting on... And go cash some of those Ma$e publishing checks... These nikkas tryin... Still bout $100mil short though... Take that Take that"

yaw kill me with these mathematics yo
That's actually what this is about. Apple is making a play for the digital music market. They are going to start an instant streaming service soon, if they haven't already. Dre would definitely have been competition, so they bought them out.
Apple didn't get where they are being dumb. Their only competition will be Spotify, but the apple brand will put them ahead of everyone else.
at the math. Like who care is the internet and Dre still rich regarless.
