DR. DRE – EST. $850 MILLION
Rapper Dr. Dre has quite an exceptional skill set in the business. He is not only a good rapper but also a producer and an excellent entrepreneur. With his stakes of the famed electronic gadget, Beats, he was well able to whip up a hefty amount for selling it to Apple. As if he doesn’t get enough yet, he continues to grow his ventures on several other investments, produces more and more music, and bet on the famous rap artists out there.
There is no doubt that this man will get far and go places, if not with music, and then I guess with some of the other things he’s working on. Or he could simply just buy and go. He may have sold Beats by Dre to Apple for an immense sum, but the rapper still owns 25% of the company. In turn, Dr. Dre should still continue to make money off of the premium headphones brand.
