It may come as a shock to some of you but Eminem is one of the top 5 richest rappers with a net worth of 210 million dollars. And that is because he is still one of the world’s selling rappers.

Most of Eminem’s net worth comes from the money he earns off of his albums- he also makes a nice chunk of change from his record label- Shady Records and from his acting roles.

4. Master P

This rapper’s net worth is estimated to be 250 million. This man is a true entrepreneur- this former basketball player turned rapper and producer used a 10 thousand dollar inheritance to open a record store which then grew into a record label- which eventually grew into a business empire that has stakes in telecommunications all the way to real estate.

Dr. Dre has an estimated net worth of 740 million dollars. Most of his income comes from Beats electronics. Dre co-founded this company and then in 2014 he sold it to Apple for 3 billion dollars.

And the cut that Dre got from this deal gave him the largest single- year payday ever recorded by a living musician. And because of this smart business move now he just gets to sit back and watch the cash flow in.

Just day after this deal was made official Dre purchased a 14 thousand square foot LA mansion for 40 million dollars. Which sounds like an insane purchase- and it was.

But this man must have got hit with the lucky stick because now according to government records his mansion is now worth nearly 20 percent more than he paid.
