Makes sense now, Puffy has Ciroc and Kanye has Adidas right? Drake though Almost 8 figure annual income.

Drake getting a Jordan check too

Damn yatchy winning. Then p said the #s is off by like 6 mil. I should've been making music for awkward white teens. **** led to all types of deals.

I'm pretty sure they are all getting this income from ventures outside of music. I mean they make money off music but most of those #s seen comes from other things.

Diddy sold Sean John during June 2016-June 2017 so that counted towards this Forbes year income. Also his 50/50 profit share with Diageo for Ciroc makes up the majority of his $130 million. Then there's also Deleon Tequila and Aquahydrate water. He's mainly in beverages now.

sean john still exists, and someone even bought it???

 

[Xennial]

Well not the whole thing but he sold 1/3 of it for $70 million. Jayz sold 1/3 of tidal for $200 mil but that wasn't in the june 2016-june 2017 window so it'll count towards next years list. Jayz will be #1 on next years list

sean john still exists, and someone even bought it???

Aren't these rough estimates? I get a feeling its more so revenue generated. As in Drake's number isn't his actual take home check after Birdman and Wayne get their share.

I think people don't realize how much merchandising and branding these people do. Like Wiz has the weed strain among other stuff and doesn't he have a deal with Converse etc. drake has a Jordan deal tours, hosts award ceremonies etc. and they usually have at least 10+ million followers on social media platforms so they get money from promoting stuff and also clicks to their FB and YouTube pages

 

[Mr.Guy]

How does Wiz make so much money?

 

[Sir San Diego]

I chose the wrong path. Should've never listened to my mom with her "artist don't make money" bs.

 

[putting in work]

Especially in these times where it seems any bozo gets on

I just wanted the P, but the money would have been great too.

 

[Sir San Diego]

It was legit my passion and my mom stayed on me about going to college and getting a "career".

 

[Brownstone]

These look like fairly low estimates.

these dudes nowadays lame as hell wit it too. no real star power/charisma about most of these dudes

 

[dman14]

So 50 cent really bankrupt?

 

[アミーゴ]

These guys have money everywhere. Investing, etc. Hence, Diddy being 1.

 

[Top Boy]

I thought Drake wasn't shackled anymore?

His earnings make sense to me he's done commercials, dropped hit records/albums, has plenty of business ventures...

As far as im aware he's been free since IYRTITL
