Drake, Nicki Minaj, Eminem Net Worth 2017: How Rich Are Your Favorite Rappers?

When it comes to hip-hop, bragging about your riches is a part of the game. In 50 Cent’s “I Get Money,” the rapper famously said, “I took quarter water sold it bottles for two bucks / Coca-Cola came and bought it for billions,” after Coca-Cola bought Vitamin Water. Other rappers such as Jay Z, P Diddy and Drake love to rap about their business ventures, showing off how much money they have.

But if you’re wondering how much your favorite rapper is worth, you’ll be surprised to find out that the number is usually a lot less or more than you would expect. With estimated values from Forbes, Celebrity Net Worth and Money Nation, here are net worths of some of your favorite hip-hop stars.
