Sean “Diddy” Combs tops hip-hop’s richest artistes list

Kanye and Jay-Z may be everywhere these days, but when it comes to raking in the big bucks, hip-hop mogul , Sean “Diddy” takes the cake.

With an estimated net worth of $580 million, Diddy ranks No. 1 on this year’s Forbes Five list of hip-hop’s wealthiest artistes. Thanks to savvy business deals from such non-musical ventures as Diageo’s Ciroc, the founder of Bad Boy records is sitting pretty.

According to Forbes, Diddy can brag more than anyone else.

Jay-Z came second on the list, with a net worth of $475 million, and Andre “Dr. Dre” Young ranks third with $350 million. Bryan “Birdman” Williams nabs the No. 4 spot, while Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson rounds off the top five at $125 million.
