- Jay-Z – 35 Million
- Diddy – 30 Million
- Kanye West – 25 Million
- 50 Cent – 20 Million
- Akon – 20 Million
- Lil Wayne – 18 Million
- Timbaland – 17 Million
- Pharrell – 16 Million
- T-Pain – 15 Million
- Eminem – 14 Million
- Dr.Dre – 13 Million
- Snoop Dogg – 11 Million

- Andre 3000 – 7 Million
- Big Boi- 7 Million
- Flo-Rida – 6 Million
- Rick Ross – 6 Million
- The Game – 6 Million

50 Cent went from 150 million last year to 20 million, Jay-Z went from 82 million to 35 million this year, even with all that Lil Wayne did the last 2 years only garners him the 6th position with 18 million. This might not look bad at first because it’s still millions but if these are the numbers for the elite, you can just imagine what everyone else is doing.
