Can You Guess Who The Richest Rapper In Hip-Hop Is?

Today (March 1), Forbes reported "Hip-Hop's Wealthiest Artists 2018." For the opening time, Jay-Z secured the number one spot since the financial magazine began tracking the difference in 2011. According to Forbes, Jay increased his net worth from $810 million to $900 million in the last year thanks to the mogul's interests in a collection of areas — D'Ussé cognac and ownership stakes in Roc Country and Tidal.


Diddy and Dr. Dre round out the best two and three spots. Interestingly, Jay, Diddy, and Dre aren't only the three richest gentlemen in hip-hop, yet also the wealthiest American musicians in any genre. All three boys have been jockeying for position while in the years and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon.


Both Drake and Eminem's $100 million net worth means they come in at number four and five. Not bad considering Graham is the youngest rapper on the list, while Mathers took almost a four-year break between 2013's The Marshall Mathers LP 2 and Revival.


Jay-Z mentioned it best on "Legacy," "Generational wealth, that's the key." As far as wealth is concerned, Blue Ivy, Sir, and Rumi don't have to worry.
