DeleteI guess Dr Dre's "Beats by Dre" is giving him so much money
ReplyDeletewow!!!!!! jay z has dropped he used to be no 1.. Diddy is always no 2 kudos. Dr Dre is a genius his beatz head phones sold like mad, i guess thats why he is @ no 1... Really surprised @ mac miller, the guy literally came out just last year. Wow @ Nicki only female so cool. Akon used to be among top five.
ReplyDeleteNaah! diddy used to be #1 follow by Master P
DeleteU guys r crazy where did u leave my man 50...d dude still rich but wanna b on low key
DeleteThe real geniuses are the people who should be higher on this list but are lower...because they know the more money they make the more IRS taxes them so they move their money smartly.
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly. The people I applaud are those who didn't even make the Top 20. They swiftly and smartly pushed their major earnings out of the U.S
DeleteYou are so damn right!
Deletethis could be "take home" after task **sumbody pikin***
DeleteThey pay movie starz 20 to 30million dollars per movie,talk more of doing 3 movies in a year,dats lyk 90mil$,all dis musicians go jes dey yap dia moufs lyk say na dem get all d money,
ReplyDeleteMy dear, very few stars earn 20Million per movie o. Very few.. Musicians make more money trust me. If you compare Musicians and Actors' networths, you'd be shocked. Don't joke with royalties, tours and shows. Actor they pay you once and that's all
DeleteOkpo! Some have biznesses, are producers, song writers, and hello! concerts too. **sumbody pikin*

ReplyDeleteThe only actors that get those kind of sums are the A-list actors (Leonardo Di Caprio, George Clooney etc) and not all actors are on the A-list. Don't be deluded.

He should marry you so that you'll steal his money and go ba?

Include Lady Gaga too with all the waves she makes and her devilish stuff and fans she calls monster. Check her twitter followers, they are more the 2 countries population combine but still no dey list(unless it base hip-hop or just the blacks)
DeleteBeats by dre is no joke men. WOW
ReplyDeleteWhy is doctor dre still the highest paid?? What exactly is he known for??
ReplyDeleteDr dre made that much because he sold his shares in a company. He doesn't usually earn as much. However, if he is worth that much then, great for him.
ReplyDeleteMenh.....Dre really beat dem with a larger amount, his beats by Dre is paying him wella (cweamy)

ReplyDeletewat of dbanj? :I
ReplyDeleteBTW CIROC BRAND IS MADE BY DIAGEO AND DIDDY IS JUST THEIR BRAND AMBASSADOR, AND JAY Z IN NO WAY HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH ACE OF SPADES
ReplyDeleteIt all makes sense.. atleast they are making their Money but Dr. Dre has got a good sense of making money than just holding the Microphone so I wouldn't judge them based on what I don't see but I would judge them based on what i see and i think they are all cool but Nicki Nicki Nicki.. I love you girl.
ReplyDelete@ Kanyinulia Okeke 6:28PM, dats a pretty dumb comment coming from a chic like u, if u dont know wat to say abeg just read other people's comments n waka... #smh#
ReplyDeleteFlorida did not make it with all his hits?
ReplyDeleteHello My Sweet Linda,
ReplyDeleteBeats by Dre all the way. You left Reminisce( kako be chicken ) out of the list. LOL
just for laughs visit, Too Funny.
www.talking9japictures.blogspot.com
smartly evading the IRS by making less money?....that's all kinds of dumb...50% of 100million is 50million and 50% of Zero is Zero retard. secondly illuminati? for real? they sold their souls for money and fame yet still have to "work" hard as rappers competing with their fellow artists for relevance and cash if not their families will go hungry?...i think you're confusing illuminati with "capitalism". Maybe if you said Mark Zuckerberg sold his soul i'd listen seeing as he makes cash without doing a damn thing but "rappers"? for real? You know what other kind of people get inexplicable amounts of money and fame especially in nigeria?...."PASTORS"
ReplyDeleteP.S I still think Linda totally needs to get laid *shrug* sue me...but this time post the comment ; P
U mean pastors abi, ur cane n d number of strokes is special in hell except u repent.
DeleteNicky Minaj is gud, has she earned more than some other big rappers.
ReplyDeleteWarri Girl
*blinks twice, searching for Beyonce*
ReplyDeleteJay-Z should be higher up on the list but he's not --- due to tax shelters, "charity" trusts, "losses", "expenditures", and "clever accounting." I bet his accountants are Jews. It's like the Queen of England (+ other shires, counties and isles they stole from the Welsh, Scots, Irish and the rest of the universe) one of the richest billionaires on earth but pays little or no income or / and corporation tax to HM Revenue & Customs. Thanks to UK PLC's propaganda and brainwashing department, BBC, we're supposed to believe that Regina Windsor (aka the "Queen" of England) is not as minted as we know she is. She should be paying far more tax than James Ibori, but pays peanuts. I bet her accountant is a Jew. Btw, my accountant is a Jew, too. I learn fast. What's that Beyonce's song ..? "Who run run the world?" Replace Beyonce's answer with "Jew", then dance to it like a drunken Arab.
ReplyDeleteAbeg Som of u guys are confused. D list says top earners 4 2012 not there general worth. *smh*. My diddy is stil no 1, folod by jay z, dre, birdman & 50 cent[top 5 richest in d industry according to forbes]. So y'all should get ur facts straight.
ReplyDeleteAs 4 dose blabbin about illuminati nonsense, smh, - get a life.

ReplyDeleteHip hop's top earner is Dr Dre and yet I have never seen him wear diamond grillz. I could be wrong... Seems like he is more modest than most other hip hop artists today. Nothing wrong with flossing some bling once in a while though!
