I dont think he's the first but rather the first to go public. As I've said before I think there are a few on the low. I look at people like cube, flava unit, j prince etc. and think they sitting on it. But shout out to diddy though.

I'll save you the trouble :gurl::duck::dame:
:dwillhuh: Cube? Do you know how much a billion is? One thousand million dollars. Literally not possible, despite his movie money

Remember Dre had to split that Beats money with Jimmy Iovine. So although they sold for over a billy, Dre did not become a billionaire if I remember correctly

I remember beats selling for close to 4 billion and dre got a large chunk of that, along with iovine.

I think they're talking about net worth. If so then I'm positive diddy is over a billion.

wasn't Dre the first when he sold Beats to Apple?


nah - these major deals, doesn't necessarily means said artist makes a killing off

i remember like 10 years ago - 50 had the vitamin water & when that deal went down -coca cola brought it for over 4 billion dollars
nikkaz, automatically was like 50 net worth is over 500milly BUT in reality he made roughly 50milly off it

so, i assume that dre beats/apple deal was similar to 50

Diddy is from Mt Vernon. It's not the 90's anymore, you don't have to hide your suburban prep school background.
