Already making plans for a new album, Tha Carter IV, upon his release.
 

5. Andre "Dr. Dre" Young - $17M

Legendary rapper-producer is also one of hip-hop's savviest--unlike many who sell away the rights to their songs, Dr. Dre hangs on to most of his.

Also rakes in cash from his headphone line Beats by Dre, a partnership with Interscope Records.

Added to acting résumé by playing himself in Sacha Baron Cohen flick Bruno and soap opera One Life to Live.

Once named the world's best-dressed man by Esquire, Williams designs sunglasses for Louis Vuitton and owns apparel lines Ice Cream and Billionaire Boys Club. Worked with famed German composer Hans Zimmer to create soundtrack for animated flick Despicable Me.
