Forbes-top5 richest american artist

1. Diddy - $580 million : The bulk of the Bad Boy Records founder's wealth
2. Jay Z - $475 million : He's still rolling in cash from megadeals like his $204 million Rocawear sale in 2007 and his $150 million pact with Live nation
3. Dr Dre - $350 million : It's thanks mostly tohis Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. A year after selling 51% of the company to handset maker HTC for $300 million in August 2011, Dre and his partners bought back half of the half they sold in 2012— and their investmentcontinues to soar in value due to Beats' whopping 65% market share of the premium($99 and up) headphone market.
4. Bryan "Birdman" Williams - $150 million : Riding from his Cash Money/Young Money empire. His roster includes Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne (the latter crossed the $100 million threshold for the first time this year, by our estimates, but remains just outside the top five). Birdman also recently launched a YMCMB clothing line and a spirit called GT Vodka.
5. 50 Cent - $125 million
