Stratford Perth Museum

It’s that time again. Forbes Magazine is breaking down the highest paid Hip-Hop acts of 2018. Factoring in music and outside investments Forbes comes with a list of what some of the big boys in Hip-Hop brought in this year. 

Months-long tours and endorsement deals with companies such as Sprite and Hennessy enabled the highest-earning hip-hop artists on our annual list to bring in an average $44 million over the past year. Some of them also have acquired lucrative equity stakes, including Nas, 44, who makes the list for the first time a quarter-century after releasing his debut album. A few years back, Nas kindled a friendship with venture capitalist Ben Horowitz at a dinner party and has since snagged stakes in Silicon Valley darlings (Lyft, Coinbase) and online media (Genius, Mass Appeal). Nas pulled in a career best $35 million in all in 2018.

Here’s the list:
