Mister Shawn Carter comes in at number six. Forbes says he brought in an estimated $60 million since June last year from a diverse list of business interests. They credit his “growing Roc Nation empire; 68 concerts in our scoring period; business ventures including his 40/40 clubs and his D’Ussé cognac.” His latest album was certified platinum before it was released due to an agreement with Samsung to buy 1 million copies.
