DR. DRE, NET WORTH – $1 BILLION
Dr. Dre is nearly synonymous with hip-hop music, considering all of the contributions he has made to it. The rapper, producer, and record executive has had an illustrious career, which he has since incorporated into his business ventures as well. As you might already know, he is the head honcho of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics. He was also a former co-owner of the infamous Death Row Records. Not bad for someone who started his career in the underground scene. Since then, he has been given credit for helping popularize West Coast G-Funk, which is still widely popular today.
Aside from having sold millions of albums worldwide, Dr. Dre is also a prolific businessman. His collaborations over the years have been very lucrative, including creating an exclusive laptop with HP, selling the Beats brand to Apple, and even scoring endorsements for Chrysler and Coors Light.
