Thanks to Apple's Beats buyout, rapper Dr. Dre's $620m earnings in the last 12 months are the highest of any musician ever evaluated by Forbes. His total eclipses the mere $60m earned by Jay Z and Diddy, who tied in second place. In fact, Dr Dre's takings are more than the combined income of all the other 24 names on the list. It's estimated that Apple's $3bn acquisition of the Beats headphone and music streaming service increased Dre's net worth by $350m. To form the list, Forbes considered income from touring, record sales, publishing, merchandise sales, endorsements and other ventures.
