Diddy: ~ $850 Million

Judging by the way rapper-turned-entrepreneur Diddy (previously known as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy) has been making money, he is soon going to become a billionaire. Once regarded as the richest rapper in the world, he had been previously bumped down to the third spot by Jay-Z and Dr. Dre.

But $850 million is not too shabby! Success in the entrepreneurial world came to Diddy early on with his clothing label Sean John and the sale of his stake in Diageo’s Ciroc brand vodka. While Diddy may not have new music in production, his investments in DeLeon, Revolt TV network and Aquahydrate alkaline water brand keep his net worth growing.
