No wonder people are breaking the doors down to become an entertainer or artist - they compete for deals on shows like X - factor and American Idol - and the newest one to join the auditional line up -The Voice ..
When it comes to net worth, Jay-Z is number two.
No other rapper has ever held that spot ...this is what makes Jay-Z so valuable to the people he deal with because when he drops an album - everyone rushes to go see what J is swagging about ...A clothing line and liquor venture make his earnings all the more notable ..
The top spot goes to Sean "Diddy" Combs, who tops our accounting of rap's richest with a fortune of $475 million, fueled by his interests in Sean John clothing, Bad Boy Worldwide record label and, most significantly, his Diageo joint-venture vodka brand Ciroc.
