Dr. Dre has crowned his already historic year by becoming the world's highest paid musician of 2014. According to Forbes Magazine, the legendary Hip Hop producer made a total of $620 million in the last twelve months.

Of course this huge cash revenue is thanks to Beats By Dre being acquired by Apple for $3 billion. Dr. Dre made enough money to trump Beyonce. Queen B was pushed to the second spot after she made $115 million in 2014. Her husband Jay Z was number twelve on the list with $60 million. He is tied with Hip Hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs who raked in the same figure in 2014.
