August 16th, 2007 at 9:37 am
puff keep makin that money cause he keep dropping biggie duets and he ownes 100% of everybodys publishing on his label. The clothin line probably make up the majority of the bread though.
August 16th, 2007 at 9:38 am
Razzle,
Thats only how much he made for the year.not his net worth.
August 16th, 2007 at 10:03 am

http://www.forbes.com/2007/08/15/hip-hop-millionaires-biz-cx_lg_0816hiphop.html
‘Our estimates are based solely on 2006 income. In March, Jay-Z sold his Rocawear apparel label to Iconix (nasdaq: ICON – news – people ) for $204 million. Forbes estimates he pocketed about a quarter of that, after taxes and other payable commitments. And in May, Coca Cola (nyse: KO – news – people ) announced it would buy Glaceau, maker of VitaminWater, for $4.2 billion in cash. Once the deal is consummated, 50 Cent, who agreed to endorse the brand in 2004 in exchange for a small stake, should walk away with some $100 million. Best efforts were made to contact every member of the list for comment.’
August 16th, 2007 at 10:14 am

Wow i cant belive Chamillionare has that much money at all..I`m shocked..and that Timbaland has more money than Dr Dre..Goes to show Dre is not Mean for the sake of his art..
He could be Much more richer if he sold his beats like these other producers (neptunes*Timbaland*swizz beats) etc

Yo some of the stupidest shit ever to be said can be found right here in the comments section.
Personally, even if Jay do got a brownstone in Brooklyn, I’m still not seeing any of his cash in my pockets. So that whole bullshit argument about NY niggas caking and southern niggas being broke is bullshit to me.
The way these fanatics talk, you would think they’re getting a piece of the pie too when they’re really just dickriding someone else’s pockets. Shit is disgusting.
August 16th, 2007 at 4:23 pm

Dre, Em and 50 are each worth over 100 Mill! Jay is worth over half a billion! Dre probably still cakin off of the NWA for all we know, Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem Show Album Get Rich Or Die Tryin, His Chronic 2001 Album, The Massacre all sold over 10 millio worldwide. Plz believe Dre is cakin off! He was the executive producer of all of them albums and then some Him, Em and Fif are good for life financial, and Jay!
August 16th, 2007 at 5:41 pm
JAYZ AINT WORTH NO HALF BILLION DOLLARS NIGGA U CRAZY

My man Diddy is third and Bad boy is not ever up right now. He has clothes ,cologne, music and other things. He might be #1 again next year.
August 16th, 2007 at 5:49 pm

August 17th, 2007 at 3:33 am
Agree with that @ 59 they will proably be richer come the end on the year depending on how 50 & Stat Quo album sells and depending on what Features Eminem, 50 & Dr.Dre do and what tracks Eminem & Dr.Dre produce. I didn’t know that The Game was so rich or Chamillionaire

How is it that Pharrell makes 17 mil and it sayd that The Neptunes is worth $155 million (no offense) but Chad dont make more money than P.Willy but maybe I dont know how the business works but im just wonderin.
August 17th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
IM surprised Em made as much last yr. HE only came out with Re-Up album and Smack That.
August 18th, 2007 at 8:59 am
okay i understand chamillionaire but how does yung joc have all that money he just came out with no underground backing
August 18th, 2007 at 11:28 am
@ 93 twisted and 94 wow
well u guys have to understand that eminem and dr dre own 50 cent so comes out from 50 or G-Unit, eminem and dr dre take a good portion of that money, along w/ jimmy iovine.
yaa i kno its kinda surprising that yung joc is on the list but hey good 4 him. we all know he suxx but he had dat big record “it’s goin down” and he has a new album comin so i guess thas where the money is comin from. hopefully he didnt spend dat 10 mil on dat ugly ass chain he rocks.
its funny reading ppl’s posts dissing the rappers on this list 4 not making as much as another rapper further up on the list. the funnier thing is THEY ARE ALL RICHER THAN U LOLOL. diss them all u want, cuz their all making moves.
August 18th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Game even signed a 23-24 million deal now. But it hasn’t been official yet. N this is just how much they earned LAST YEAR.

August 19th, 2007 at 6:59 am
Diddy sold Bad Boy. That might be where some of his profits came from.
