So much for joining the billionaires club.
Despite his much-publicized sale of Beats Headphones to Apple last year, Dr. Dre is not hip-hop’s wealthiest artist, according to Forbes.
That honor would be long to Sean “Diddy” Combs, who topped the publication’s annual Hip-Hop’s Wealthiest Artist list for 2015. The Huffington Post reports the list was released by Forbes this week.
So how did Diddy do it? Credit business ventures like his Ciroc vodka, Sean John apparel and Revolt television network, among others, for the achievement. In all, Diddy’s business dealings netted him $735 million and marked his latest topping of the list after claiming the Forbes title in 2012, 2013 and 2014. As a result, Dr. Dre ranked second on the list with a reported net worth of $700 million.
The entertainment mogul’s latest achievement comes on the heels of his controversial promotion of his newly released Sean Jean unisex fragrance, “3AM,” which arrived in stores this week.
