13. Ice Cube
If you watched Straight Outta Compton last year, you should be doubly impressed that Ice Cube made this list. While one of the most successful rappers of the 90’s, a lot of money was stolen from him, and on top of that – with the rampant violence in Compton during the era, it’s pretty much a miracle he survived the decade. That being said, Ice Cube has always demonstrated a pretty keen sense of business. He has diversified his talents and assets and built a very successful film career. While if you told us in 1995 that Ice Cube would be a beloved actor, even in family films, we wouldn’t believe you – Ice has been laughing all the way to bank and is now worth $140 million. And speaking of Compton, Dr. Dre is worth an incredible $700 million, after selling Beats Electronics to Apple.
