Earning more than both the silver and bronze medalists (Diddy at No. 2, Jay-Z at No. 3) combined, Dr. Dre – thanks to the fact that Beats By Dre headphones are the new Blue Magic in the hood – easily outpaced every other earner on the Forbes Hip-Hop Cash Kings 2012 list. Meanwhile, Detox continues to sit on the shelf looking like that one person who sat in the corner alone because nobody wanted to talk to them during lunch period. In other words, rappers don’t get rich off mixtape sales; why should you expect any different? Here is the entire list; hopefully it’ll compel some of us to take the time off talking shit on the Internets and make our mothers proud…
1. Dr. Dre: $110 Million
2. Diddy: $45 Million
3. Jay-Z: $38 Million
4. Kanye West: $35 Million
5. Lil Wayne: $27 Million
6. Drake: $20.5 Million
7. ‘Shit: $20 Million
8. Nicki Minaj: $15.5 Million
9. Eminem: $15 Million
10. Ludacris: $12 Million
11. Pitbull: $9.5 Million
12. Rick Ross: $9 Million
12. Wiz Khalifa: $9 Million
14. SnoopLionDogg: $8.5 Million
15. 50 Cent: $7.5 Million

THIS LIST OBVIOUSLY ISNT ACCURATE.
Is this just RAP Money or all in all ? cause 50 cent got his energy drink, headphones, big movies and money team box promoting and he earned only 7 M. ? that dont make sense at all
Uh i dont believe these numbers … theres no way 50 can make almost as much money (1.5mill diffrence as) Rick Ross while 50 was sitting on his ass and Ross had his best year ever in hip hop.
Where on earth did 50 get 7.5mill ?! the only thing that came out of 50/G-unit in the period 1 March 2011 – 1 March 2012 was THE BIG 10 mixtape.
f*ck outta here how can 50 make as much as Ross at Rossz peak.
**Is this just RAP Money or all in all ? cause 50 cent got his energy drink, headphones, big movies and money team box promoting and he earned only 7 M. ? that dont make sense at all
^^^^
Ross can not touch 50 in any way..
@Siy@ 50 has way more goin on than rap. I.E. Vitamin Water, Street King, Movies
Dre will dominate now that he has a luxury brand established with his overpriced average beats headphones. Fair play to him.
I think Jigga’s new venture with duracell is gonna take off, Nokia seem to be using the technology with the Windows 8 phone coming out soon. but up duracell share’s those wireless chargers are gonna sell like hotcakes me reckon.
k first off, anyone remember when pusha t was tryna diss drake
basically saying birdman owns his ass and that he doesn’t make any money. well i see drakes name ABOVE birdmans(shit) name on the list LMAO.
also. MAAAAAD props to Wiz for making this, he ain’t ma fav but if you don’t agree, you fucked up.
This list is from last year to this year, it doesn’t include albums that were released this year, those will be on next year’s list..
What a fuckin faggot, using lipstick and eyeliner.
This nigga is the most overrated producer of all time, pnly his stans doesnt see that
