« Rihanna Joins J. Cole and Trey Songz On Set of New VideoNew Music: Waka Flocka Flame – ‘Round of Applause’ »Jay-Z Tops Forbes’ Hip-Hop Cash Kings List![]() Jay-Z is having the best week ever. With Watch the Throne set to debut at No. 1 on the charts, the rap titan also reigns atop Forbes’ annual Cash Kings list.
The magazine has declared the Roc Nation mogul as hip-hop’s top earner with $37 million made in the past 12 months. He tops the list for the fourth time in five years thanks to tour sales, his ongoing $150 million Live Nation deal, and stakes in the New Jersey Nets and 40/40 club. Following in close second is hip-hop impresario Sean “Diddy” Combs, who banked $35 million in the past year with roughly half of his earnings coming from Ciroc vodka. Jay’s partner in rhyme Kanye West claims third place, returning to the top three for the first time since 2009. Lil Wayne ties with his YMCMB comrade Birdman for fourth ($15 million), Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg rack up $14 million each, and Wiz Khalifa, Pitbull, and B.o.B are among the new entries. Nicki Minaj becomes the first female to make the list at No. 15 with $6.5 million. The Young Money diva burst onto the scene with her platinum debut Pink Friday, tours with Lil Wayne and Britney Spears, and endorsement deals with M•A•C Cosmetics and Casio.

@Dizzle & @YUNG Reezy,
WTF are U talking about???? Lil’Kim is worth way more than 6.5milli… please do your research b-4 jumpin on here looking stupid. Look up her net worth. At the end of the day… Nicki is worth 6.5 milli [as of now], Lil’Kim & Foxy Brown’s net worth is 18 Milli, Lauryn Hill worth 20 Milli, & Missy straight shiiii on all of them…she’s worth 250 Milli….
U 2 & ya’ll opinions…are worth…. $0!
Why hate on anyone that has clearly done more than U… whose the lame hoe?
As your idol has said b-4…
“Broke b**ches so crusty, disgust me…”
I luv them all by the way…

@time, Nicki stans have proved they’re idiots. It’s really no point in replying to them. I mean the fact they say Lil Kim is hating on Nicki when Nicki started the beef years ago & there’s physical proof proof, & the fact Lil Kim hasn’t said nothing else about Nicki since in the song “Black Friday”, pathetic… Be happy for Nicki, Lil Kim is not on here. Y’all talk about hating, but aren’t you hating on Kim if you bring her up when she had nothing to do with the post? Go back to school please.

@Dave, your so right. who gives a fuck if kims not on the list.
nickis playing the pop game, thats how shes making her cash. nothing wrong with that, its working for her. but the only reason nickis big right now is because their isnt a powerful female movement in hip hop. wait till eve kim and missy come out of the lab with music that will send nicki back to her mixtape days.

Snoop Dogg is outstanding. He’s been on that game for ever, and he still draws an astonishing amount of cash, while still being very active in Hip-Hop (unlike monsters like Diddy, Jay, Dre, etc., who are making big part of their revenues via non-Hip-hop activities, such as Ciroc, Live Nation, Beats by Dre, etc.). I’m not SD’s biggest fan, but you gotta respect his hustling ways.
LMAO at Ciroc making more money for Diddy than almost all of the second half of that Top 20. He’s been past his prime for a long time as far as rapping goes, but I guess a business mind never goes away.

By show of virtual hands who gives a fuck what Old Lady Cumguts has/had?
Precisely.
Regardless of Krim’s past “suck-cess”, she’s not doing anything important NOW. Last I heard of her she was touring South Africa, that should tell y’all something about her “relevance.” My point is back in her prime, she was a contender. (I’ll give her that.) However, she’s well beyond her prime and should find focus on something else, like finding the rest of her nose. Out of sheer curiosity, how many of y’all are still waiting on a copy of “Wack Friday”?
Nicki, on the other hand, just toured with Britney Spears. NICKI has a platinum album out and another on the way. NICKI is doing voice over acting for multimillion dollar grossing movie franchise. NICKI has a lipstick for MAC that sold out almost overnight. NICKI has been on Good Morning America, the Wendy Williams show, Chelsea Lately, and Lopez Tonight. Nicki has done specials with VH1 and E! Entertainment. NICKI has loyal, loving fanbase that reaches the far corners of the globe. NICKI does more for her fans on a daily basis than any other artist, ever. Onika Tanya Maraj is THE FUCKING KING and you broads will deal.
As for the bum broads thinking Nicki only raps about barbies, please kill yourself.

This is truly dissapointing!!! You all passing judgments like u actually know these people personally!!! I honestly don’t care who made the most money, its nothing but a cool fact!!! I love hip hop and rap coz of the music, vibe and culture itself!!! I don’t need to take sides in beef… If an artist I like gets dissed I’ll admitt he got dissed, I won’t get angry coz in the end itz not gonna stop em from making music!!! Itz sad that us hip hop fans are swearing @ eachother coz of the artists personal issues… Money doesn’t mean u have tallent… Soulja boy waz and still iz one of the worst artists of all time but he still makez cash!!! I care bout beats, attire, lyricism… That’s hip hop… Not money, all that doez is fund the next album!!!

The Nicki stans brought up Kim when her name wasn’t even on the list, just simply pathetic. But let’s be real. Nicki has endorsement deals out the ass, her singles are getting massive airplay and being certified Gold and Platinum and she’s featured on every other song on the radio so why wouldn’t her net worth be $10 million in 2 years of being in the spotlight? Kim had endorsement deals but they weren’t as massive as Nicki’s, Kim doesn’t have as many certified singles as Nicki. Yes, Kim’s net worth is $20 million but her’s is mostly from album sales. That’s how Kim became an hip-hop legend, by being one of like 5 female MC’s to actually sell albums and sell them well, not by selling singles, not by jumping on everybody’s song and not by having so many endorsement deals. In 2011, it’s simply more marketable just to have your face or name on something like Nicki where as in the 90s and even the early 2000s, you marketed yourself with album sales and critical acclaim from your album, the two things Kim has but Nicki doesn’t.

Nicki earned 6.5 mill, after tax and paying her label back for advances she hasn’t netted 6.5.
Don’t underestimate what her label are taking back from her they pumped enough in to the chick to manufacture her entire image from ghetto/gansta to Lil’ Kim 2.0 people still forget how disturbing it is if you looked at Kim in 1997 – 2003 and nikki today, it’s not even funny how she ripped off her whole style.
The idea that forbes or anyone gets the net worth guessing right is insane, they’re artists doing deals all the time, doing clubs, hand outs and extras for this and that.. You think everything is added up by some guys at a magazine.
Kim’s net worth is estimated at 18 – 20 mill, most of that was made before 2008, Nikky won’t last as long as Kim she has a gimmick appeal that plays to the kids, her label know they have to milk her before everyone gets sick of the gimmick. Fans don’t grow up with that they grow out of it
[Reply]
March 14th, 2013 at 9:41 am
The only reliable celebrity net worth site on the web is the one called precisely that. People reaching for Google to prove how much money these people have, must also use common sense. Lil Kim has a net worth of 8 million. Not 18 million. Likewise, Foxy Brown has a net worth of 1.8 million. Not 18 million. If these women were as rich as some of you say, they would not be dying to get back in the rap game, the way they are, at thirty something years old. I just saw Foxy Brown in the street the other day. She’s not worth 18 mil. That’s hilarious. And by the way…. Team Lil Kim. But it is time for her to step back and let the younger generation do their thing.
