50 Cent is the worlds richest hip-hop star, an annual list has revealed.

The rapper, Curtis Jackson to his mates, has netted a massive $150 (75m) in the last 12 months according to the Forbes Magazine poll, which is almost double the dollars raked in by money-magnet Jay-Z, who has to settle for second place with earnings of just $82m (41m).

Forbes attributes the majority of Fiddys fortunes to his successful clothing line, video games, his G-Unit Records label, oh and a few album sales.

The top ten rich dogs in the hip-hop money game, in full, looks like this:

50 Cent - $150 m (75 m)

Jay-Z - $82 m (41 m)

Sean Diddy Combs - $35 m (17.5 m)
