Jay-Z pulled in $63 million over the past 12 months, earning him his second straight hip-hop cash crown. His income level places him in the 35% tax bracket, which means he’ll pay Uncle Sam about $22 million this year–a sum greater than the total earnings of any other rap star besides second-ranked Diddy.
1. Jay-Z – $63 Million (Crazy thing is Beyonce makes even more with 87 million)
2. Diddy – $30 Million (Take that, thake that)
3. Akon – $21 Million (Lady Gaga money must be looking nicccceee)
4. Lil Wayne – $20 Million (Don’t let Carter 3 producers see this)
5. Dr. Dre – $17 Million (Beats By Dre money?)
6. Ludacris – $16 Million (Theater of the Mind and Battles of the Sexes did their thing)
7. Snoop Dogg – $15 Million (how in the hell?)
8. Timbaland – $14 Million
9. Pharrell – $13 Million
10. Kanye West – $12 Million
11. Drake – $9 Million
11. T.I. – $ 9 Million
12. Swizz Beatz – $9 Million
14. Eminem – $8 Million (Recovery money will be counted next year)

Check Forbes for how they made their money.
smh @ 50 cent
Daaamn that’s crazy how eminem sold more records this year than anyone and made less than most people on the list. Haha even more funny is that akon didn’t work that much this past year that’s a huge income coming from lady gaga. That foo is set as long she’s keeps making number 1 hits. That’s crazy how jay gotta pau 22 million to uncle sam also I’d have a hard ass time writing that check out!
How the fuck did snoop make that much?!?!?
Damn. I hadn’t even heard Akon name all of last year and dude still made $20 million. That’s a fucking G yo. And same for Lil’ Jon….how the fuck he make $5 million??
Props to Drake and Jeezy. I expect both of them to climb the list next year.
Is this list based solely on hip hop/music earnings or does this include endorsements/other projects. Because if so then yea, Jay-Z and Diddy will clearly be at the top with just their clothing lines alone.
If Eminem had toured this year, he would be up at about $50m.
I’m very surprised at 50. I know his album flopped, but he’s still an entrepreneur. If Diddy can make $30m, Fifty should be around the same. Guess his fragrances, books, movies etc. aren’t selling.
wheres officer ross i thought he was the hottest shit in the streets ? i guess he was lying when he said he was B.M.F. oh this includes everything there o why for frobes to break down there earning , em is low cause he only made money for relapse he did zero conerts for that album , but next year he will be making more money
I think Forbes is US based. There fore all the cake 50 made on tour overseas isn’t equated in this. Cause I’m pretty sure if the nigga gettn 250k-500k a show, he mad way more than 8 mil. As far as Jay is concerned refer to the Grammy Family freestyle: “Bills that I do fold I now invest/ trying to find some loop holes in the IRS/”
nah em is the bigggest rap act (he doesnt really do other bizz) ….but jay has multiple incomes …so does diddy ….they most likely stay on the top …50 could do it …but its like hes going troigh a mid life crises or something
dont know where snoop got that money from ppf lol
that nigga grinding
i guess everybody else (rick ross) did less than 5 mill
50s tour money and ventures will be counted in Next Years list
Eminems tour Money will be counted in Next YEars list aswell
They both will be in the top 5 next year
Funny how these lame ass rappers are making cake…Gucci Mane $5million…lmao!! That to me is in-fucking-sane!!!
Jay-Z is clearly in another echelon.
Drak has 1 album out, and made 9 million dollars. 1 album. Could you imagine, the likes of Nas with just illmatic making 9 million dollars, or Jay-Zs RD? I’m telling ya’ll times have changed dramatically from a financial standpoint.
This is why I respect Jay-Z so much!…the guy is not even from this era and is making waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than the rappers that are actually from this era…smh. Something ain’t right.
Last yr Officer Ricky & Game both made $6 Million. If BISD(went GOLD) flopped what do U say about DTR(470K right now) then?
Shout out to LUDA, SOULJABOY, SNOOP, FIF, JEEZY. U notice ever since TEFLON DON came out DIDDY aint hanging out with WILLIAM anymore.
WHATEVER money was generated by the artist over the past twelve months is counted on here. We’re not talking about Vibe Magazine here people. We talking about FORBES! So what you see is what it is. A lot of these artists that you see and wonder how they’ve made it have very successful side ventures, investments, publishing catalogs (Dre for example probably makes more money off his back catalog than Beats) and endorsements. For the 50 fans, dude has been relatively quiet this year. And I doubt that Forbes left out his overseas touring money. It’s funny how 50 fans always use the overseas argument when things like this come out. Like Forbes, probably the most respected financial magazine in the world, would not count that income. Come on son :/
And BISD did not sell gold. It sold 436,00 which is less than DTR, Superman. And for a guy of 50 Cent’s caliber, a guy who is always screaming about his album sales, that is a HUGE disappointment. It’s the way of the game. It’s like comparing an indie film making 20 mil to an expensive summer blockbuster making the same amount. Plus 50 made his own bed as far as sales talk goes so I really find it hard to feel bad for dude.
fuck jay z forbes is dick riden that fool. weres birdman at..that niggas droppin more on cars clothes an diamonds then niggas makin the list ahahha
By his own standards Diddy isn’t rich having only six figures
Smokin aces. Dude gets 250k-500k a show. He did 53 shows last year. Even if half went unce sam & 20% went to Em & Dre he’s styll should b higher than 25mil. On top of th@ bisd sold 400,00+ copies & he gets a about $5 a record. “C’mon son!”
50 better start saving his money cuz it seems like he gets less relevant every year. 8 million is a lot though, I ain’t got that much but for 50 that’s 1 hell of a decline. & I wonder what baby has 2 say about hov crushing Wayne on the Forbes year after year???? I could have sworn that baby said they had more money than Hov. They can’t even fuck with his bitch’s income. They don’t even make more than he pays in taxes…SMH what was that niggah thinkin when he said that??
snoop dogg a veteran in the game;if u don’t know how tha hell he made 15 mill.do ur research and u’ll see how. YA DIGGA ME!
Doesn’t mean anything, the only good rapper on that list was Common.
So, hiphop&depression, make me understand this. They counted everyone’s total income for the 12 month period, but omitted some of the money 50 Cent made? Come on dog. And where are you getting all these stats and figures from? Because obviously you know something that Forbes doesn’t. Please show me where 50 cent did 53 shows at 250-500k a pop. Please show me where he gets 5 a record sold. Why do 50 fans make it seem like everybody has it out for dude? Forbes is about the MONEY! Period point blank. So if 50 was making all this money you claim he is, I’m having a hard time understanding why they would not report it.
smh@ superman 50dick in ya mouth fan don’t u ever come up for air, its funny when a story bout 50 makes u feel insecure the 1st and only word out your mouth is rick ross???
we all know the big headline of this post is jayz, but if nigel was the 50 hater yall claim 50 woulda been the headline since his earnings are the major story here. and If I really wanted to be a dick I would say rick ross caused his decline, but honestly 50 did it himself (before I self destruct) perfect title.
so please get a grip stans, men lie, women lie, u know the rest.
Damn 50………………..
LUDAcris did well in 12 months,Jezzy did 8 million thats whats up!Wayne made 20 million u would’ve thought he made more.50cent fell off,no Rick Ross but he’s tha boss,Kanye should’ve made more but he spaz out,Diddy still run tha city he show no pity;Jay-z 63 mills leave that guy alone can’t tell him much so y bother.(plus his wife made 87 mills)how dey do that dere. YA DIGGA ME!
Soulja boy made just about the same money as Curtis Jackson. Shame shame shame, shouldn’t of been making fat joe videos and running around with blonde wigs on.
BTW, on the Forbes site, Rick Ross actually did make the list tying with Gucci at 5 mil.
Also, Drake really made $11 million but Birdman bought the Bugatti with that $2 mill.
T.I. a beast. He made 9 mil from prison.
CURTIS IS GOING BROKE HAHAHAHA KAMRA IS A MOTHERFUCKER
Say what you want about 50 Cent. I’d take 8 mil and be able to say and do what I want over 63 mil and have to sambo it up with Gweneth.
8 mil is going broke? Where they do that at??? 50 haters are the greatest!
LOL @ THE DUMMY WHO SAID 50 DID 53 SHOWS AT 500K A SHOW!
WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INFO FROM!?!
THATS LIKE 26.5 MILL! GTFOH!
LOL @ THE 50 STANS!
damn the suburban white kids use to COME OUT THE WOODWORKS for Curtis…nowadays niggas are making 6 digits ?
Hov, Weezy and Ye run the rap scene.
shoutout to Drake who made just as much as 50 did with only an album to bank on LMAO, 50 selling all this bullshit and make the same as a debut artist.
“here lemme package a bottle of cologne, a DVD, a t-shirt and my kitchen sink with that CD and see what it does”
FLOP
WHERE IS YAYO n BANKS!?!
HOW MUCH CAKE DID THEY MAKE!?!
I HOPE THEY MADE ENOUGH TO GET BUY A HOUSE THIS YEAR, SO THEY CAN MOVE OUT OF 50’S HOUSE AND STOP BABYSITTIN’ MARQUISE!
LOL AT 50 GIVING AWAY:
A CD
A MOVIE
A DOCUMENTARY
A POSTER
AND VIVACA’S PHONE NUMBER
AND STILL DIDNT SALE
Niggas are so close minded. Why is hanging with Gweneth Paltrow considered Samboing it 614? Get outta the ghetto for two seconds and learn to associate with people outside of your block.
SHOUT OUT to the 50 CENT & G-UNIT haters(SOHH, RTNY)
SOULJA BOI MAKES MONEY HATE ALL U WANT THIS KID IS SMART ASS HELL
The HATERS dont get it Curtis Jackson is HOME ALREADY ! Banks & Yayo got a new deal with EMI and the Haters restless.
Damn…50 stans and 50 haters r super wild…i rock wit fif but forbes is pretty accurate so the number is prolly right…and the whole idea that 8 mil is bad is crazy…thats more money than most people will ever see…lets be real!!
I Have a tattoo of Banks & Yayo on my thigh
^ #Fail
^CAN YOU 50 STANS PLEASE GO BACK TO THISIS50.COM AND GET THE FUCK OFF RTNY ?
thx
50 AND EM ARE TIED FOR $8 MIL….THEY TOURS WILL COUNT FOR NEXT YEAR AND THE TWO MOVIES 50 ARE MAKIN WILL COUNT FOR NEXT YEAR AS WELL WHICH MEANS 50 WILL BE BACK ON TOP PLZ STOP HATING……DAMN THAT NICKELODEON MONEY GETS U PLACES JUS ASK DRAKE LMAO WAIT HOW IS WEEZY MAKING $20 AND HE AINT EVEN PAY PRODCUERS FOR THA CARTER 3? WHY FAB AINT MAKIN NO MONEY OH YEAH HE AINT COMMERCIAL….. IDK ITS GUCCI TIME
Judging by this list that Birdman didn’t even make it on top 10 you know he aint what he always claims in those litle videos that he ballin money aint a thing and stuff like this, dude is spending those 20mils that wayne made on Bugatti and other shit he dont deserve to have
Cam still makin money tho?? wow!!
^^Cam where do u see cam’ron on the list
lmao@ FLOPARAZZI.
Hov made 63 million and paid more than Curtis in taxes.
Dirty Curtis made 8 million and probably paid 3 to 4 in taxes therefore only made 3-4 million in the year.
Dear 50 Stans, he bought his mansion for more than what he accrued in this year…in other words, he’s struggling to make ends meet.
EPIC FAIL!
Stop being idiots and stans…do the math. 50 is no longer grossing to be copping these mansions…he got Gucci Mane money. Stop it 5.
Lmmfao @ all the 50 dick riding cocksuckers trying 2 justify 50’s epic fail. Just take the L like a man & keep it movin. U can’t win’em all. Maybe 50 will be #1 next year. It’s not likely but u never know….Maybe he made a grip from that str8 to DVD movie that he lost all that weight 4…..lol
Seriously, I dont understand how people says 50 is “struggling” or “going broke”
DA FUCK??? Yall acting like all the money he earned since 02 disappeared. DAMN HATERS!
T.I. Was in jail all year & made more than 50…..lmmfao. 50 was on tour, released an album, promoted his album, made movies, & had a ton of other business ventures & couldn’t outsell a niggah in jail. 8 mill is a lot for an average Joe but for 50…..EPIC FAIL…..LMAO
NIGGAZ BE TALKIN LIKE THEY 5O PERSONAL ASSISTANT, OR HIS ACCOUNTANT! GTFOH! HE’S THE NEW AGE MAD RAPPER! THE CRAZIEST INFO IS THAT B MADE 87 MIL! THATS OFF THE CHAIN. THAT PUT JAY AND B AT A TOTAL OF 150 MIL. IN ONE YEAR. EPIC.
ITS NOT THE 8 MIL THAT WE’RE SCOFFING AT…ITS THE FACT THAT HE IS PUSHING ALL THESE BUSINESS VENTURES AND THEY ARE FAILING MISERABLY. WHILE OTHER ARTISTS ARE MAKING MONEY OFF JUST MUSIC ALONE.
AGAIN WE’RE NOT LAUGHING AT 8 MIL, ITS THE DECLINE WE ARE LAUGHING AT.
look at Lil Wayne, he made 20 OFF JUST MUSIC ALONE ! no clothing line, cologne etc. JUST MUSIC.
REMEMBER WHEN BABY WAS TALKIN ALL THAT SHIT ABOUT WEEZY GOT MORE PAPER THAN HOV? HOV PAYS WEEZY’S EARNINGS IN TAXES! CRAZY.
Is Shaq going broke? He signed a $3 Million for 2 yrs with the CELTICS. Shaq has earned close to $300 million in NBA contract money. The HATE for Curtis Jackson is at a ALLTIME HIGH.
HATE *
FORBES HIP-HOP CASH KINGS 2010
01. Jay-Z – $63,000,000

Proceeds from the Rebirth album, a hefty amount of touring ($500,000 per appearance) and tons of guest appearances make Lil’ Wayne one of the biggest earners this year.
05. Dr. Dre – $17,000,000
The Beats by Dre headphones have been selling well apparently. Also a partnership with Interscope helps his bank account out quite a bit. Oh – he also executive produced the platinum selling new album from Eminem “Recovery”.

09. Pharrell – $13,000,000
This cat made the soundtrack for Despicable me, designs glasses for Louis Vuitton all while owning Ice Cream and Billionaire Boys Club apparel lines.
10. Kanye West – $12,000,000
Consistent album sales, producing for everyone including Jay-Z and touring has made Kanye a very rich dude.
11. Drake – $10,000,000
One million mixtapes sold, an endorsement from Sprite and Virgin America airlines will definitely land you on the top earners spot.
12. T.I. – $9,000,000 (TIE)
T.I. has been king of the south since the early 2000’s and has been on the list consistently.
13. Swizz Beatz – $9,000,000 (TIE)
Swizz has been at it since the age of 16 so imagine what multiple years of $9,000,000 or more means he has sitting in his bank. SHOWTIME!

Eminem made his money from rap alone, know how many albums you need to sell to make $8,000,000? 32,000,000!
14. 50 Cent – $8,000,000 (TIE)
He has taken quite a tumble from the year he made $150,000,000 but 50 Cent still bangs with the best of them when it comes to making that cash.
14. Young Jeezy – $8,000,000 (TIE)
17. Common – $7,000,000

This kid is YouTubing his way to the bank aside from selling psychotic amounts of ring tones.

Aside from his own platinum album and writing material for other platinum albums T-Pain has been in movies, cartoons and has an iPhone app.
20. Lil’ Jon – $5,000,000 (TIE)
Lil’ Jon didn’t even release an album this year and still made way more bank than 99% of rappers in the game.
20. Gucci Mane – $5,000,000 (TIE)
Gucci was in a jail a large portion of the year. This says a lot about how hard this man works.
how the fuck soulja boi is still making money? damn his music is pure garbage but he still manages to make the money wow props to him but fuck his music lol.
WHEN DO YOU PEOPLE THINK JAY WILL NO LONGER BE NUMBER 1 ON THE FORBES LIST? I DOUBT HE COULD MANGE TO TOP EVERYONE FOR REST OF HIS LIFE. SO WHEN DO YOU THINK JAY WILL NO LONGER MANAGE TO STAY ON NUMBER 1?
birdman is more of a fool and fake then rock ross combined with plies. Soulja boi make more money than birman lol but birdman be spending all those millions that young money makes. I bet if there was no young money and birman was just by himself he would be broke as a joke
these people generated that much money they didn’t keep that much.jay-z signed a live nation deal he’s going to be on top for a few more years weather he releases an album or not,basically depending on wich artist has the biggest album,they’ll be second, so eminem should be second next year and t.i. or lil wayne 3rd,unless andre 3000 drops an album before 2011 and does a world tour,oh diddy has will be 3-5 every year as long as he has side ventures like ciroc,sean john,television shows,plus touring
oh wait they didnt count 50 cent show money from this year they say he did 5-10 million per show and he hit 11 major cities across the globe and at his smaller ventures 4 million touring overseas. dvd’s and what not. so 8 million off the cd alone and some business ventures are ok.
after tallying it all up 50 made about 58 million dollars and eminem based off the money he generates from 50 and his album sales from recovery eminem made about 22 million. thanks to 50 and how much he gets off him.
The point behind all this is. DR Dre who gets percentage off both rappers has did very well add that with dre beats your looking at about 35 million.
diddy got his money from the ciroc. take that
Hahaha dog you’re just joking, right? I’ve seen people write some stupid shit on message boards but god damn you just bring it to a new level… “they say he did 5-10 mil per show.” ha who the fuck are “they” nobody gets 10 mil per show. Nobody. Your on-the-fly figures are the best though. “see, he make money off him and him cuz he put them on so, yeah, that 20 mil right there so yeah I know more than Forbes” is basically what you wrote. I don’t think you have any concept of just how much money a million dollars is. 8 of them shits in one year is just insane. Oh, and by the way nobody buys DVDs of rap shows anymore.
fat joe is on the list right?
smh@ excuses. man up girl niggas
men lie women lie numbers don’t.
niggas bringin up nba contracts smfh, get a grip. shaq contract is not his sole earnings for the yr, just his nba money he gets money in other places u know tht already.
8mill is good for me, but in his eyes it means your worthless.
place your bets!!!!!!!
50 will be addressing this in an interview soon to be on a youtube/blogsite near u in the next 2weeks
who wanna bet that!!!!!!!!!!
Forbes sure know how to fool you idiots who worship these false millions from your idols! Numbers do lie and can be inflated to enhance the reputation of (someone) beyond what is justified by the real facts. People with no money fall for this all the time…LOL!
…You know, 50’s failing career wouldn’t be so epically funny if he didn’t build it talking shit. Poor guy set his own bar and standards too high.
I expected nothing less from JAY-Z. So there’s no surprise there.
so i guess you’re just here to enlighten us because you’re so paid omar. LMAO at broke niggas talking about people with no money. Shut up dumb ass.
And no one has yet explained what Forbes is to gain by inflating or deflating someones figures. What good does it do them to misrepresent themselves and tarnish their name by putting out false numbers. omar, jojo, and all the other folks claiming foul, enlighten me.
Killa says:
Lmmfao @ all the 50 dick riding cocksuckers trying 2 justify 50’s epic fail. Just take the L like a man & keep it movin. U can’t win’em all. Maybe 50 will be #1 next year. It’s not likely but u never know….Maybe he made a grip from that str8 to DVD movie that he lost all that weight 4…..lol
ROTFLMAO!!!
G Unit clothing?G unit perfumes?Straight to DVD movies?Tours?Owning thisis50??
Dude’s earning decreases every year.
All them ventures and he still made the same amount of money as Soulja boy and others who don’t have other ventures but music.
if yall believe this list is 100% accurate yall fooling yall self i guaranteed birdman money longer than the majority of the list and Master P money above all theirs but he mite not be consider a music artist no more he out grown that
HAHAHA!!Ricky Ross made $5 mil and Curly made $8 mil,
Curley went from top 3 to not being mentioned at all.
Rozay bodied Woodface .
Just wait when Obama increases their taxes even more next year. They’ll be like “fuck Obama!”
@Cap and who are you to say such a statement? What if your not accurate? do yo you have a source or prove that this list is not accurate? If you don’t im not going to say much more!
brothers getting paid…. not mad at that. especially those getting quiet money: luda, common, timberland. lil john still getting money. good for him.
hova is still the cash king. he is really chasing oprah down.
Ok im gonna lol @ 50 stans, but also lol @ the hater. Its like a trend to hate 50, like wearing jeans (example) its a hit to hate 50 cent.!!!!!!!!!!! He has enough money 4 rest of his life, why yall talking hes going broke lol @ that. And lol @ ppl talkin numbers aint real.
Yo where’s my nigga Max B? he earned 100 mils this year and they didn’t even mentioned him on the list because he would over top Hov ahaha fake ass list. Just as fake as whole rick ross drug dealer career
Juu heard

For all u clownz disagree’n wit me…. I have a question. If Forbes “knows & countseverything” then how come Birdman ain’t on this listlist? He jus bought a fuckn 2 mil Bugatti whci cost $300,000 a year to maintain. & wayne made 20 so birdman made @ lease 40 or 50mil….. “c’mon son!”
Haha dude you are just making up all this shit, straight up. A Bugatti Veyron doesn’t cost 300k/year to maintain- it’s 20k. Birdman isn’t on the list, sorry man. He’s very rich, true. But he didn’t earn as much as these other guys in 2010- fact. You should have finished school.
Look @Chapstick talking about Max B makin 100 million. LMAO. You fuckin jock ass nigga. Max B doesnt even make 10,000. Since when max b had jocks??…..oh and if u say he made more than my favorite rapper, you might wanna check whos #1 on the list.
Man the hate for 50 is strong on this site. Damn did Curtis fuck some of yall niggas girlfriends or something? lol
It’s a sad day when you idiots consider 8 mill “going broke.” Yeah hes taken a couple of L’s, he’s declined a lil, but he’s STILL ON THE FUCKIN LIST. Listen that man is set for life along with the rest of these guys.
And don’t respond back to me calling me a stan or a dickrider or something stupid like that. I’m just calling it like I see it.
50s ventures will be included in next years list
Ems #s will be count in next years list aswell
They will both be top 5 next year
soulja boy made the list and bow wow didn’t.

i aint even a 50 Cent fan but he still got more money than all dem niggaz self for Jay-Z and Diddy in 2008 he mad 150 mil more than them all put together dis year
Snoop Dogg’s on just about every other pop hit these days…either that or he got paid major bank for “California Gurls” and is still gettin royalties off Chronic..
UUUUUM HOW THE FUCK NIGGAS GONE SAY 50 HURTING?? WAT THE FUCK DID HE DO WITH ALL THE MONEY HE’S MADE???? SO WAT HE MADE 8 MILLI DIS YEAR AND PAID HALF BACK IN TAXES(lol).. NAH BUT WATABOUT ALL DA CASH HE ALREADY GOT AND FINNA GET OFF THESE MOVIES FUCK NIGGA IF ANYBODY CAN SLACK OFF RIGHT BOUT NOW ITS 50 HE’S SHITTED ON THESE NIGGAS ENOUGH!!
Forbes Hip Hop Cash Kings is jsut another reason for yall coons to be going at each others necks SMH there will never be unity amongst our people.
@hiphop&depression the only reason birdman bought that bugatti because it was drake + nicki+ wayne money, your really think birdshit makes money by his own by making music and videos pshhh grown the fuck up boy nigga is fraud buying shit on other artist money that he doesnt deserve and be a real nigga and pay back the producers the money for those beats that made u have all the money today, fuck birdshit not only he the worse rapper nigga is fake and lair
Aye yo quit hating on Max B because dude is caking on your rappers and he not even out of jail yet
muthafucka earned huned millions this year juuu heard
lmfao i was just fucking with you guys c’mon u know max aint made shit this year lol he locked up and plus the comment section looked so serious and angry i decide to add little stupidity and fun to it so relax and dont worry ur fav rapper did made more money than max b
Akon is caking off lady gaga like nobody’s business.
How could Birdman be left off this list? He must make money off Wayne and everyone on CM/YM. I’m sure it’s not individually, but they’ve got a pretty decent sized roster these days. Plus he has to own the rights to all his & Wayne’s shit right?
Anyone know if “Thank Me Later” sales are being counted for Drake? His album came out a week or 2 before Em’s I thought, but they’re not counting Em’s yet. Drake’s doing pretty good already for just having released his first album and already being #11 on this list…if Thank Me Later sales aren’t being counted like Recovery he might jump a few spots up.
Whoever said 50 Cent is going through his mid-life crisis was right on. He’s slowly becoming more irrelevant every year. Unless you love the guy you probably don’t really give a shit about what he says or puts out anymore. Seems like it all started when he made that stupid challenge to Kanye and then backed out. I remember being SHOCKED to see 50 Cent back out of something he was all about and dreamed up.
Jay-Z is a BEAST on these lists! 50 Cent loves to diss Jay about not being an international star but any stadium 50 does, Jay can do too! His body of work is legendary! Jay got business ventures but Touring/shows is where he really makes money!
Akon is the best CEO in the game because he let Lady Gaga & T-Pain be themselves, call their own shots & just let them do them. And all 3 of them made Great money in the process(Lady Gaga @ $63Mil, Akon-21mil, T-Pain 7-mil)! No wonder Akon was talkin about retiring from music as an artist. He gets more money as a CEO/Producer than he ever did for his music!
Lil Wayne WENT HARD before he went to jail! He went on tour, he dropped 2 albums(Rebirth & We Are Young Money) And I’m sure that he is gonna be eating good off of Drake’s album! And Nicki Minaj’s album too! And let’s not even talk about the expectation of The Carter 4 album! Wayne’s gonna KILL IT next year LOL!
BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
“What you call money, I pay more in taxes.”
“Jay-Z pulled in $63 million over the past 12 months, earning him his second straight hip-hop cash crown. His income level places him in the 35% tax bracket, which means he’ll pay Uncle Sam about $22 million this year–a sum greater than the total earnings of any other rap star besides second-ranked Diddy”
COLD
some of you niggaz are straight bitches… why are yall hatin on 50 like there is no tomorrow… the nigga has just as much money as diddy and jay-z… and way more then wayne officer ricky and them other niggaz… come on 8 mil aint that good for 50 but guarenteee u next year he will be back at at least 20 mil stop the hate nigga he and his son and his grankids and his fam and g-unit are set fo life… while ross and wayne be fuckin other niggaz out they money greedy ass niggaz and oh yea teflon don flopped lol bawsse… and that bs diddy shit is gettin pushed back like marquis houstons hariline lol…

I’m not sure why everyone is acting like 50cent is broke. He just made 100 million selling his vitamin water stock.
I’m not sure people think 50 Cent is broke….if they do they obviously don’t know much or belong in this conversation.
I think the fact that people are hating on 50 is because he’s sat around for the last 5 years reminding us of how he’s suppose to be the greatest. But for 5 years that’s all it’s been….him telling us. Maybe it’s time to step up and make another good album? The guy undoubtedly had one of the biggest albums of the last decade and now he can’t go platinum anymore?!?!?
what happened to 50 cent,am really surprised.but then am soo thrilled,50 cent is beta than ross after all

Dear friends,shopping please look,look,look,==== http://www.AooMall.com ======
This Forbes Rich List for the biggest earning rappers is amazing. It gives an incredible insight into what some of the biggest rap stars in the world are earning these days. And since most money these days are earned from merchandising and from rap music videos you can see whos been the most commercially successful rap star to date. Lil Waynes music videos, Drakes music videos, 50 Cents music videos, Ludacris music videos, Eminems music videos, Akons music videos, Pharrells music videos have all been hugely popular and my guess is that this is one of the biggest factors in generating these huges incomes for these rap stars as some of the most popular music videos today are Rap & Hip hop music videos which generate huge fees in licensing agreements.

Yall so stupid. You do realize 50 cent does not care how much he sold this year because he was on top of forbes twice. He has old money. With overall money the top 5 would be eminem 50 Jay z diddy and probably luda seeing as hes around the same place on the forbes list every year.

List Is Wrong, There are many ties so check Forbes.
I do trust all the concepts you’ve offered in your post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for beginners. May just you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
