Jay Z and Diddy Top Hip Hop Billionaires List

Jay Z and Diddy head the table of the richest in Hip Hop. Ye drops down a bit on the list after disparaging remarks, but now too far yet.

Jay Z and Diddy Are Hip Hop’s Richest

Jay Z and Diddy are at the head of the table when it comes to Hip Hop’s richest.

Worth an estimated 1.5 billion dollars, 52-year-old Jay Z has been sitting pretty for a minute now.

However, the 52-year-old Diddy is new to the table.

According to Forbes, the hip-hop mogul earned his seat just recently.

In fact, the shakeup at the table made a major figure drop off the list.

Ye, formerly Kanye West, dropped off in royal fashion after making a slew of anti-Semitic statements.

Aside from all that drama, Diddy has risen in the ranks.

Both Jay Z and Diddy have made fortunes over the years, much of it outside of music.
