Forbes has once again combed through the numbers and listed the world’s highest-paid musicians, with a handful of Hip-Hop notables making the cut. Among the stars in the listing this year: Diddy, Jay Z, Dr. Dre and Drake.
It's no secret that Taylor Swift is easily the most famous musician on the planet, but we're happy to see that she also has the business acumen to back up that fame.
