    4. Dr. Dre Made History When Apple Acquired Beats Electronics For $3 Billion.

    Not only is Dr Dre one of hip-hops most iconic artists, he is now officially one of Hip-Hop's wealthiest artists. The rapper built up his Beats By Dre headphones company from scratch and sold it this year for a whopping $3 billion to Apple. The deal saw his net worth shoot up to £800 million. That, is how it's done. (But Dre, we're still waiting for Detox). Picture: Apple/PA
