Jay Z, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Dr. Dre made Forbes' 2013 ranking of the "World's Highest-Paid Musicians," standing as the only hip hop-related names on the list of 25.
Of the three, Diddy landed the best slot at No.12 with $50 million,making him hip hop's highest paid act. Jay wasn't far behind, raking in $42 million to grab the No.19 spot. Dre came in at No.21 with $40 million.
Dre continues to up his net worth due in part to the massively successful Beats by Dre line of speakers and headphones; Diddy's 'Sean Jean' clothing line, partnership with Cîroc vodka, and newly launched Revolt TV channel contribute to his multi-million dollar status; and Jay has mastered the art of music moguldom. He and Beyoncé, his wife, are music's first billionaire couple, but Brookyln's Finest also brings in solo cash through a bevy of outlets including his Roc Nation record label/management company and various other entertainment and sports related deals known and unknown to the public.
