Diddy Named Richest Rapper

Diddy named richest rapper. Jay-Z follows close behind at number two.

A new list of hip hop's wealthiest stars has reaffirmed Diddy's status as the world's most valuable rapper. The list of 20 artists and moguls, published by Celebrity Net Worth, places the Bad Boy Records founder at the top with a personal net worth of $500 million. Jay-Z follows closely behind with a net worth of $475 million.
