DRE—EST. $770 Million

Dr. Dre was born in Compton, California on February 18, 1965. He is an American rapper, music producer, actor and businessman.Dr. Dre founded Afterbath entertainment in 1996. In 2008, he co founded the headphones brand, Beats by Dr.Dre, with Jimmy . On May 28, 2014, Apple decided to purchase Beats for $3 billion.

Dr. Dre has come a long way from his NWA days. This American rapper and music producer has made it big through the sale of his headphone company, Beats by Dre. Who would’ve thought that a headphone brand would be such a great investment for the audio engineer, and would turn him into an even bigger multi-millionaire? Anyone who’s seen the film Straight Outta Compton—a film he had, to a huge degree, a hand in producing, mind you—will know that Dre has the talent for it. With his successful career, he can be expected to be breaking into the billionaire-hood in the near future.
