So Dr Dre made $20 a second last year

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

Dr. Dre is seriously rich. No, like you're-about-to-feel-really-poor rich.

We did the math and based off of Forbes' latest World's Highest Paid Musicians of 2014 list, the 49-year-old rapper and business mogul made—wait for it—$20 per second last year! You read that correctly: $20 freaking dollars per second in 2014. That's means every hour that Dre was asleep in the last 12 months he raked in $72,000 (PER HOUR!).

In total (and thanks to Apple buying Beats by Dre for a cool $3.2 billion last year), Dre made a whopping $620 million last year.

I don't know it makes me laugh that the guy who made 'Findem, f***em, and Flee' is almost a billionaire

No. I got a pair for Christmas two years ago and they just stopped working for no reason after three months.

However, the 20 dollar Skullcandy headphones I replaced them with are still working great!

God damn you, Tyson Kidd.

Dunno about other products, but the program/sound for my computer works great for everything.  Movies, music, games, it all sounds fantastic.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you got the actual headphones style of the Uprocks line and will second your endorsement. I have two pairs of those and two of the earbuds from the same line. I've only had to replace them when I ripped the cord.

Meanwhile MC Ren wonders where it all went wrong for him.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

This is what happens when you forget about Dre

I can't really speak for the actual quality of Beats by Dre since I've never owned a pair and I've only tried them in stores, but there's no way it would've gotten that popular without the social aspect surrounding the brand.

If they make wireless headphones, they can have my money.

But this Doctor Dre is priceless.

He expected and wanted to be the richest rapper alive in a past life...

[Who is Reno]

Between Eminem, 50 Cent, Beats headphones, and the Aftermath catalog Dre got mad dough. Still waiting "Detox" (or whatever the new name is) though, it's been 15 years Dre..... we thirsty out here.

[Urethra Franklin]

So did I.


Wait...I read that wrong...I thought it said "second $20"...I made $40 last year.

[Chip Chipperson]

There are probably guys out there who make more.

I know Howard Stern makes something like 40 dollars a second he's on the radio. Not bad money if you can get it.

[MC Blowfish]

I've heard that his headphones are bass heavy. I got some Chambers by RZA last year and they died over the summer. I don't think I'll be getting anymore expensive headphones again.
