How did Diddy Make $62 million last year? Every year Diddy pops up on this list. Ok I get it he owns Revolt, but me, personally, I have never watched a single show on Revolt EVER! He also has Ciroc but that has nothing to do with Hip-Hop and Diddy doesn't even own Ciroc so I doubt that he makes $62 Million for endorsing a product.

He has one valid artist that is French Montana, and he's not even on the list, so where did the $62 Million dollars come from ? If the IRS can barely track how money rappers make (thats why you hear about rappers going to prison for tax evaison.) I Highly doubt Forbes magazine tracks how much Diddy makes annually. I think this list is made up of people that Forbes Magazine likes. Further more what does how much money someone makes selling liquor or have to do with hip-hop culture? I wish they would get back to making quality authentic music at the end of the day plus we don't really care how much money they make at all just make good music and I'll be happy.
