50 doesn’t even have anything out this year and he’s that high on the list, EXTRAORDINARY.
50 gets all his money from his endorsements. ya know those corny vitamin water ones??
hmm i see there is more people from the south on here than north seems they spread the wealth while the north east hordes it all to individuals no hate just looking at what i c
That $20 Million 50 Cent made is just interest he made off his half a billion :S
Damn! Didn’t Nas have a Fila deal or something last year? All that and he’s nowhere?
Dre is on there cause his producing skills and dr pepper ad/ headphones
50 cause he is a sell out doing mineral water adds
diddy hasBad Boy making money for him Notorius the film probally got him some $$$
Akon has his label and a pretty nice album/ alot of cameo
weezy is still rollin off tha carter 3 and Young money cash money
Timbaland suprised me cause he only produces and i didnt think he had any endorsmenjt deals or stuff like that
Pharrel is just makin money
Same down the list to Common who had that movie with freemand and jolie Will.I.Am will get some more when the END gets worked in
Andre suprised me he hasnt had an album in a long time but i quess he’s just a good buisness guy
where the hell is Nas
timbaland actually has a bunch of endorsements
he has an exclusive deal with Verizon (if you remember all the commercials)
and he’s still probably getting royalty checks from producing justin timberlake, nelly furtado, etc
and he introduced keri hilson to the world
his money is extra right
