Dr. Dre Named Forbes' Highest Paid Hip-Hop Act 2014

Drake, Jay Z, Diddy and Macklemore all made the top five, though no where near Dre's unimaginable earnings...

Despite not having released an album or gone on tour this past 12 months, Dr. Dre has still been named the World's Highest Paid Hip-Hop Act of 2014.

The music mogul topped Forbes' list with an estimated $620million in earnings, the highest of any musician ever evaluated by the magazine.

[related]A large thanks goes to Apple who bought out Beats by Dre for a mere $3.2billion, making it no surprise that the huge sum of money is more than what the next 24 artists earned combined!

Both Diddy and Jay Z earned second place on the list with a respective $60million each, with Shawn Carter's growing Roc Nation empire, new album and tour and his drink, 'D'Ussé cognac to thank.

Diddy also has Diageo's Cîroc vodka to playing a part in his profits, as well as various other business ventures he has.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and Drake finish off the top five respectively, earning around $32million each.
