“P. Diddy” Combs Is Hip Hop Royalty; Net Worth $550 Million Ms. Bels Thursday, April 19, 2012 Power Moves, The Receipt, The Studio It should be of no surprise that Sean Combs is AGAIN the wealthiest artist in hip hop. Ranking in at number one with a massive net worth of $550 million, P. Diddy may become hip hop’s first billionaire. He owns Bad Boy Records. He owns the Sean John clothing line. He owns restaurants (i.e. Justin’s in Atlanta). He owns several properties throughout the U. S.. He’s an actor. He’s an artist. He’s a marketing genius. Diddy’s expansive resume and portfolio is the reason why he’s the wealthiest. Plus, his stake in the Ciroc Vodka brand over the past few years has took him to new financial heights. The man is BAD! But, all great leaders need a bit of comradery to fuel the desire to be in the top spot. According to Forbes, Diddy successors include Jay-Z (net worh: $460 million), Dr. Dre (net worth: $270 million), Birdman (net worth: $125 million), and 50 Cent (net worth: $110 million).
