Here are the 5 richest rappers by means of their net worth. Some alleged rappers are not included as they made nothing off of rap and solely from other business.
Number 5: Birdman
Birdman made millions off of his rap career then used this money to jump himself into investments from small companies to an oil and gas business. He is accepted to this list as he made millions off of rap and hip hop is what allowed him to make his money.
$180,000,000
Number 4: Eminem
Eminem's money is pure hip hop genius. Eminem is possibly the best rapper of all time and he has sold roughly 246 million albums/single. He is easily accepted to this list as he started with the bare minimum in life, using his whole paychecks to print his own CDs and sell them himself. His lyrical talent sold so many copies he made his riches purely on rap.
$190,000,000
Number 3: Jay Z
Jay-Z is much like Eminem in that he came from nothing and rap is the reason he made his money. Jay is also arguably the best rapper of all time. He is on this list for the same reason as Birdman, the only reason he made money was due to huge income from rap.
$650,000,000
Number 2: P-Diddy
P-Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy, whatever name he chooses he is a financial god. He made money from a hugely successful rap career, then more from fashion designing, then yet more from acting. He is a jack of all trades with some amazing tracks.
$730,000,000
Number 1: Dr Dre
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting, Dr Dre. A man from nothing, growing up in squalor in the racially divided city of Compton, godfather of rap. Dre is responsible for NWA, D12, G-Unit, 50 Cent, Eminem and many more and is the definition of a rapper. He made millions in music then, using this money, developed Beats, one of the worlds largest headphone brands to date. He later sold this business for $3 billion to Apple making him the worlds richest rapper.
$810,000,000
