Locking down the top spot for Highest-Paid Musicians in the world, is the good doctor from Compton, Dr. Dre. Without an album out in more than a decade, Andre cashes out with $110M made for the year, in part to his venture with Beats by Dre. No other rappers even hit the list until Diddy tied with Katy Perry for the #15 spot.
1. Dr. Dre ($110 million)
2. Roger Waters ($88 million)
3. Elton John ($80 million)
4. U2 ($78 million)
5. Take That ($69 million)
Other notable mentions on the list are: Rihanna, who came in with the #11 spot, ahead of Lady Gaga, who was at #12. Jay-Z and Beyonce came in at #20 and #18 respectively, and Adele/Kanye West tied for the #22 spot to round out the top 25.
