Making the Forbes list is quite an accomplishment, especially in the Hip Hop community. Who wouldn’t want to be on the list? You’re pretty much one of the richest people in the world. Yesterday, Forbes.com unveiled their “Forbes Five” which breakdowns who are the top five wealthiest people in the rap industry.
The Forbes list incorporates artist’s ranks by valuing current holdings, looking at past earnings and talking to analysts, attorneys, managers, other industry players and even some of the moguls themselves to find out as many details as possible. While it’s still too early to decide who is making the most billions in the rap game, check out the list below to see who can claim bragging right for 2015’s five wealthiest hip hop artists!
