Jay Z tops Forbes hip-hop rich list

Forbes' Hip-Hop Cash Kings list names Jay Z the richest man in hip-hop with an estimated £17 million last year, ahead of 50 Cent and Diddy.

Confirming a fact that most of us knew already, Forbes' Hip-Hop Cash Kings list has put Jay Z at the pinnacle, naming him the richest man in hip-hop, pulling in an estimated £17 million last year. 50 Cent, who is just set to release his new album, came a close second with £16 million, while Diddy followed with a meagre £14 million. Poor Diddy, perhaps we could have a whip round for him.
