Forbes Names Richest Rappers
Posted on Tue Aug 9, 2011 04:30 PM PDT
Forbes has named the hottest hip-hop stars of 2011 ... when it comes to cash, anyway.
Not surprisingly, Jay-Z is No. 1. Since August 2010, the mogul has raked in about $37 million from touring, his sportsbar chain and other investments.
But is his The Throne partner, Kanye West, No. 2?
Not quite. Sean "Diddy" Combs got second best with a close $35 million thanks to his Bad Boy record label, Sean John clothing line and Ciroc vodka endorsement deal.
West was third -- a surprisingly distant third. Find out how much he made after the jump, and get the full list!
3) Kanye West -- $16 million
4) Bryan "Birdman" Williams/Lil Wayne -- $15 million each
5) Eminem/Snoop Dog/Dr. Dre -- $14 million each
6) Akon -- $13 million
7) Ludacris -- $12 million
