Dr. Dre Leaves Diddy, Jay-Z & Kanye West In The Dust, Tops Forbes' "Hip-Hop Cash Kings List"

Just over a week after Dr. Dre found himself in Forbes' highest-paid celebrities top five list, the music mogul now topples his competition in the financial publication's annual Hip-Hop Cash Kings rundown.

Dre's $110 million nearly doubled Diddy and Jay-Z's totals combined.

With $110 million in pretax earnings, Dr. Dre is this year's Hip-Hop Cash King--despite the fact that his long-awaited album, Detox, remains on the shelf. He's not the only one on the list who banks the bulk of his bucks outside the recording studio. Diddy ranks No. 2 with $45 million, thanks mostly to a share of profits from Diageo's Ciroc vodka; Jay-Z ranks third with $38 million, pulling in more than half his annual earnings from ventures including ownership stakes in cosmetics company Carol's Daughter, the Brookyln Nets and a joint venture with battery maker Duracell.
