Diddy is the richest rapper of all time. He has a net worth of $500 million (in 2012) and Jay-Z in the second richest ($475 million). What's interesting is that Diddy works Behind the Scenes, not releasing many albums or songs. On the other hand, Jay-Z has mainly made his fortune from records and concerts, selling over 50 million albums.
Giorgio Armani is the richest fashion designer in the world.
As of May 2012 Bono (U2) was worth a conservatively estimated $1.5 billion.. Passing Paul McCartney.

Yes, 50 cent is the richest rapper in the world, and he is no. 1 in forbes, and he earned 150 million dollars in 2008 way more than jay z, because jay z only earned 82 million dollars. 50 Cent is the greatest rapper too. Yes but 50 cent now has about 500 million dollars from products and his movies also so hes the richest rapper 50 cent is the richest rapper and was goin to make his own sex brand !

Dr. Dre is currently the richest rapper in the world. Until May of 2014, Diddy was the richest rapper. He was overtaken by Dr. Dre in part due to sales of Beats by Dre.
50 cent
Queen Latifah
Yes He Is
Jay Z
50 cent is the richest, Jay Z is the second, P.diddy is the third.
THERE IS NO RICHEST RAPPER OR SINGER IN THE WORLD THEY HAVE ALOT OF MONEY BUT THEY ARE NOT THE RICHEST IN THE WORLD;SO BASICALLY THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER
Jay z
Jay Z
I don't know WHEN, heck, I didn't know IF he was the richest either. A lot of people will say P-Diddy is, or Jay-Z is or 50 is. Apparently 50 Cent now is worth over $400 million whereas Jay-Z around $314 mil. I don't have a clue what P-Diddy's net worth is. So yeah I'd say 50 Cent is the richest rapper in the world and I'm guessing he was pronounced the richest rapper in 2007, as he hasn't released anything this year, apart from a few G-Unit demos probably.
