P.Diddy is back! Puffy is the highest paid rapper in the game. Sean Combs is ranked number one by Forbes’s list of “The World’s Highest-Paid Rap Acts”. It was reported in the Los Angeles Times, that the rapper earned $60 million last year.
Diddy might be still classed as a rapper but his earnings did not come from music. Rather it is his wider business ventures that include a TV network called Revolt, an alkaline water brand Aquahydrate and his clothing line Sean John, oh and wait his booze, Ciroc vodka. He has really diversified from his musical origins. Are we to wear the clothes, listen to the music, and watch his TV station while drinking the Vodka with the water? It is a lifestyle we may not be ready for but seems like there are enough people who are into it as Puffy is laughing all the way to the bank.
Jay Z rocked in second place with $56 million, his cash comes from the ‘On the Run Tour’ with his wife Beyoncé, his label Roc Nation and Armand de Brignac champagne. What is with all the booze lines?
Third was Drake with $39.5 million in his back pocket. His money is from music, unlike Jay and Puffy. No doubt Drake will eventually diversify as his success grow. Maybe he too can have a brand of booze, maybe wine for the sensitive soul?
Either way these guys are loaded!
