Forbes magazine released
their 2012 list of hip-hop's wealthiest artists and
Diddy (whom we will forever prefer to call Puff Daddy) came in at #1 with an estimated net worth of $550
million. The magazine notes that sales of his Ciroc vodka brand rose
122% last year. Whoa. Number two was
Jay-Z with $460 million, followed by
Dr.
Dre ($270 million), Cash Money Records co-founder
Bryan "Birdman"
Williams ($125 million) and
huge asshole 50 Cent ($110 million). Hey, what about
Russell Simmons?
