Almost doubled second runner up! I’m happy to see when anyone who works hard gets paid. I’m also always exited to see when a independent woman like this is getting paid, it’s very attractive.
They are all featured in Forbes magazine’s world’s billionaires report as “self-made” billionaires.
MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN) — What do software mogul Bill Gates and banking investor Warren Buffett have in common with wanted Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera?
Guzman Loera, whose nickname means Shorty, escaped from a Mexican prison in 2001. He heads the powerful Sinaloa cartel, investigators say. Authorities on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border blame the Sinaloa and other cartels for a surge in violence in the region.
He ranked 701st on Forbes’ yearly report, with an estimated fortune of $1 billion.
“Forbes has listed other criminals from Meyer Lansky (1982) to Pablo Escobar (1987-1993) on our Rich Lists,” Forbes said. “Don’t shoot the messenger.”
Criminals have been praised for such a long time, just look at the countless films made to honor their name, for example American Gangster. This is an old story dated back in March but seemed really interesting found it after making the post about the billionaire buying the NETS.
Maybe in a couple of years I’ll pop up on this list =]
Didy would have to be the most consistent money maker, on this list and he has been around for so long. Kanye’s 808’s sold well and kept him relevant on the music scene although, he said he did it in 3 weeks, which is crazy. Fif still in the top 5 without another one of those vitamin water deals, or a album! Hov just killing it right now and although that’s like a 50% drop he’s still number one.
Both rappers had a hard time living up to prior yearly totals fattened by one-time mega-deals. For 50, it was a $100 million windfall from the sale of his stake in VitaminWater parent Glacéau to Coca-Cola ( KO – news – people ); for Jay-Z, a front-loaded $150 million deal with concert promoter Live Nation ( LYV – news – people ).
Last year was a good year for them both!
ast year, the top 20 Hip-Hop Cash Kings made $500 million; this year they made $300 million, a 40% drop. 50 Cent’s VitaminWater stake was responsible for one-fifth of the total take last year. Its absence accounts for half of hip-hop’s year-over-year decline. Similarly, concert promoters have stopped pursing big “360″ deals like the one signed by Jay-Z and LiveNation last year. “Those deals are pretty much done for now,” says Chris White, an entertainment analyst at Wedbush Morgan Securities.
Half a Billion last year! Bold the important part and give a link explaining what a 360 deal was.
