Forbes put out their annual “Forbes Five: Hip-Hop’s Wealthiest Artists” list with some familiar names and a new one.

Diddy topped the list with an estimated net worth of $750-million for his stakes in Ciroc vodka, Revolt network, Aquahydrate alkaline water and SeanJohn clothing.

Dr. Dre came in at No. 2 with $710-millon much of which came with the sale of his Beats by Dre headphones brand to Apple. Last year’s N.W.A. biopic also reeled in a nice amount of revenue. In addition he also has stocks in Apple and a plethora of real estate in Southern California.

Jay-Z cruised in at No. 3 with $610-millon for his TIDAL streaming service that has over 3-million subscribers and also a slew of other business ventures including D’usse and Ace of Spades champagne.

At No. 4 was Bryan “Birdman” Williams with $110-million for the success of multiplatinum selling artists, Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj. Put some “respeck” on that.

The final and newest member of the list at No. 5 is OVO head-honcho, Drake with $60-million. The music sales definitely helped, but Drizzy owes most of it to touring and partnerships with Jordan, Apple and Sprite.

All five of them combine for a total of over $2-billion combined.

50 Cent’s bankruptcy struggles kept him off the list this year.
