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.
And
if that doesn't leave you feeling penniless and worthless, let's look at Beyoncé. The
"Drunk in Love" singer made $115 last year according to Forbes.
That breaks down to $3.65 every second, $219 every minute and $13, 140 every
hour.
As
for Justin Bieber,
the pop star raked in $9,132 every hour, $152 every minute and $2.53 every
second. One Direction
made $2.38 per second (that's $142 per minute and $8,561 per hour), Taylor Swift made
$2 every second ($122 per minute and $7,305 per hour) and Jay Z made $1.90
per second ($114 per minute and $6,849 per hour).
Here's
to a profitable 2015, everyone!
