JayZ Hip Hops Top Earner

He’s no stranger to massive sold-out tours and various endorsement deals and business ventures, and now Jay-Z has been named the “Hip Hop Cash King” by Forbes for the third time in four years.

The “H.O.V.A.” rapper has done quite well for himself over the past year, scoring a total paycheck of over $64 million dollars.

In fact, Jay is head and shoulders above the #2 earner on the list, Diddy, who brought in a respectable $30 million.

Rounding out the top ten Hip Hop moguls are Akon, Lil Wayne, Dr. Dre, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, Pharrell, and Kanye West.
