Dr Dre Tops The Highest-Paid Musicians List With $620m... More Than Double What 2nd Placed Beyonce Made

Dr Dre topped an annual list of highest-paid musicians released on Wednesday with estimated 2014 earnings of $620 million. The 49-year-old rapper, producer and entrepreneur profited handsomely in May from the sale of the Beats headphone company he co-founded to Apple for $3 billion. The deal not only made him the world's top-earning musician of 2014 but also marked the largest single-year haul ever of any musician, according to list compiler Forbes in its annual roundup.
