With Dr. Dre not having come out with any new music in a very long time it may come as a surprise to some that he is named the Highest Paid Musician of 2014 by Forbes. Thanks for the most part to him selling Beats to Apple for a huge $3 billion which made Dre hip hops first billionaire. He has made more money this year, $630 million, then Beyonce , Paul McCartney, One Direction, and Beiber combined.
