You ever wonder how much Dre really makes?

[Lil Jay]

One of hip hop’s favorite subject matters is money. Whether it's underground cats talking about not having it, mainstream rappers acting like they have it or rappers who actually have it and let us know all about it. Do you ever wonder how much they really make? Well, Dr. Dre, producer extraordinaire and Interscope Records executive made a whole lot in the year 2001, 31.5 million to be exact.

Dre made Forbes Magazine’s list for the highest earning celebrities, he ranked 21st. Not too bad for a man who started out selling tapes out the back of his car and making his name by DJing house parties.

31,5$ and DETOX and The Eminem Show is soon dropping...
And keep in mind that this guy was born and raised in the Ghetto, and God knows what he did back in the day to survive... man I´m pride of Dr. Dre, he´s my hero...  

What about Snoop? I wonder how much money he´d made last year, with all his movies and shit?

WRONG!

I'm not dissing the independent artists, but even though they may make more money per album and such... their fan  base is anything but big... so yes, they make more money off of an album sale, but they don't get any way near the amount of money a mainstream artist makes... just because of their fan base.

When Tupac died, he had under $100 000 in the bank.

[Jome]

Ish, that's a lot.

I remember years back reading in the Guiness Record-book, that the richest music-producer is Master P.
Back then he had 70$ mill. at disposal.

If Dre invests his money wisely he must surpass that sooner or l8er, at least when Rakim/Eminem/Truth Hurts etc. is dropping.

[Big FC]

dre made $31.5 milllion to put in the bank.. the $70 million you're talking about P havin at his disposal is the projected value of his label...

[Dogg_Pound_Gangsta]

31 million and he didnt even release an album?? damn thats pretty good!!!
