The international superstar has been named as the wealthiest performer in hip-hop by Forbes.
With nearly half a billion dollars in the bank Sean Combs, aka ‘Diddy’ has beaten rap colleague Jay–Z to the top of Forbes magazine’s list of Hip-Hop’s Wealthiest Artists.
The Bad Boy Records founder has an estimated wealth of $475 million, which he has acquired from his clothing line Sean John, his record label, and several product endorsements.
Jay-Z, meanwhile, closely follows with $450 million.
The Forbes list was put together by taking into consideration the artists' current holdings and past earnings.
Only performers were included on the list, which is why hip-hop tycoon Russell Simmons didn't place.
Following Diddy and Jay-Z is Dr. Dre with $125 million, 50 Cent and Birdman are tied at fourth place with $100 million.
