Dr. Dre ~ $820 Million

Dr. Dre is an American rapper, actor, entrepreneur, and producer, who made a fortune that can compete with Jay-Z’s musical empire. He has a massive net worth, which is estimated to be around $820 million. This musician got it good when he started producing and performing for the rap ground N.W.A. When he pursued his solo career, he focused on making his own music and building his very own music empire.

Later on, he founded Aftermath Entertainment and signed famous rappers like Eminem and 50 Cent. His other huge investments include his Beats By Dre headphones, which sold its technology to Apple for a whopping $3.2 billion. He still holds 25% ownership, which means he is still cashing in on it. Snoop Dogg once said that Dr. Dre is a perfectionist. Dr. Dre would often pressure any artist that he’s working with into producing flawless music. With this fact, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he was able to become so successful.
