In recent times, Forbes' annual list of hip hop's five wealthiest artists has become less of a race and more of an established pantheon, and this year's no different. With the exception of two artists switching between the fourth and fifth spots, 2015's list is identical to last year's. With the exception of Bridman (who moved from fourth to fifth place on the list), everyone is worth more this year.
The "Forbes Five" incorporates artist's past earnings, current holdings, financial documents and analysis from attorneys, managers, or other industry players. Some of the moguls themselves contribute to the calculations. Check out the 2015 "Forbes Five" below:
1. Diddy - net worth: $725M
2. Dr. Dre - net worth: $700M
3. Jay Z - net worth: $550M
4. 50 Cent - net worth: $155M
5. Birdman - net worth: $150M
