[King Kai]

You gotta ask yourself, if Dre is making this kind of money, what kind of checks are the cacs running his shyt cutting themselves?

 

[Stealth]

Eminem must be getting raped

Those Beats though

Everyone on campus has them shyts

best product since the iPhone, easily.

I don't see a race....I see 3 black entrepreneurs inching closer to becoming billionaires. That's Excellence to me.

 

[Marciano]

Still seems like he should have more the 160M

Nikki (music and tv)
Drake
Tyga
Wayne

thats alot of fukking sales and money

Well, that's cuz Baby only deals with music. Not too many outside ventures like Jay, Puff & Dre. Their outside of music ventures bring them in the most money, especially with Puffy. The Bad Boy label hasn't released an album in years, to my knowledge, but he's still #1 on Forbes Hip Hop Kings like every year.

 

[Hypris]

Good for Dre. He's eating well off those headphones and Eminem.

 

[J-Fire]

How the fukk 50 make more money in the last year than the previous 3?

it's net worth...investments and the economy changes.

it ain't liquid cash in the bank....he may not have earned another penny in salary.

 

[BigL187]

damn that nikka diddy net worth is 700 million when the fukk did birdman get that money

 

[J-Fire]

i don't get it, why he gotta be repping a whole region think about who created these boundaries for you anyway.

I don't understand " repping the south" is diddy "repping the north east" with his 700M?. help me understand the whole south thing, it just don't make sense to me especially with baby being from N.O. witch is so unique culturally from the rest of the south.

cost of living in the south tends to be cheaper minus some places compared to NY.

What is 700M in NO money?....close to a billy if he had to liquidate everything?

I see three entertainers who've done nothing more than capitalize on the backs of poor black people...but...whatever.

That being said...the fact people argue over this always blows my mind. These forbes lists are somewhat of a detriment to the culture.[DOUBLEPOST=1397686681][/DOUBLEPOST]

Forbes is VERY unreliable.

I find it funny these numbers always go up...it assumes NO money is ever spent. Which is absolutely retarded.

Thats why I never believe it.

investment grow above the rate of inflation...if not you losing money. You not spending the principle of stocks in a portfolio or spending real estate. it's simply net-worth which should increase as long as you make sound investments as the economy is always growing.

their investments are like a 401k on steroids.

you're trying too hard. I'm not talking about investment vehicles.

a lot of this info isn't even that well known. Its VASTLY based on estimates, before taxes, before fees, before cuts other people take.

Even still, i don't trust these numbers for entertainers because they're prone to be inflated.

Capitalize on the backs of poor black people? Please enlighten me more to your thoughts on this because I didn't know that only black people was buying hip hop music & going to hip hop concerts?

Sounds to me more like crabs in a barrel

"We cannot attack wealth creation and attack people just because they're wealthy and we can't attack wealth and success, and making that a bad thing. It's like going to school and the bullies picking on the A-students, calling them nerds and so forth. So, what do we want, a whole school of dummies?" -- R. Donahue Peebles

I don't know why people take these lists seriously.
