Jay-Z Tops Forbes’ Top 20 Hip-Hop List, Nicki Minaj First Woman To Make The Cut

Published by Justin Joseph on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 9:28 am.

In news that is certainly not a surprise, Jay-Z is holding down the top spot of Forbes’ Top 20 earners in hip-hop. This list also marks the first time a female has been named—Nicki Minaj has so far racked in $6.5 million this year.

According to Forbes:

Fueled by the tail end of his Blueprint 3 Tour and a vast portfolio of business interests, Jay-Z barely edged second-ranked Diddy—who raked in $35 million, roughly half of that total coming from a lucrative partnership with Diageo’s Ciroc vodka—but handily topped West, who earned $16 million. The duo is steaming ahead with plans for co-headlining tour starting this fall.

1. Jay-Z – $37 Million
2. Diddy – $35 Million
3. Kanye West – $16 Million
4. Lil Wayne and Birdman – $15 Million (individually)
6. Eminem, Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre – $14 Million (individually)
9. Akon – $13 Million
10. Ludacris – $12 Million
11. Wiz Khalifa & Drake – $11 Million (individually)
13. Pharrrell – $10 Million
14. Timbaland – $7 Million
15. Swizz Beatz & Nicki Minaj – $6.5 Million (individually)
17. Rick Ross, Pitbull & 50 Cent – $6 Million (individually)
20. T-Pain & B.o.B – $5 Million (individually)
