News: Forbes Unveils Hip Hop’s Wealthiest Artists For 2015

Forbes unveils their list once again for The Wealthiest Artists in Hip Hop for 2015. Diddy has a deal with Diageo ’s Ciroc vodka that guarantees him a split of the proceeds if the brand is ever sold, an event that would surely land him a nine-figure check. He also owns a controlling stake, or close to it, in clothing lines Sean John and Enyce, alkaline water brand Aquahydrate, new tequila DeLeon and multimedia network Revolt. Diddy founded the latter as a sort of next generation MTV with a renewed focus on music and tops the list once again.
