Forbes Names Dr. Dre Highest Paid Musician

Dr. Dre is raking in the money, and Forbes acknowledges the facts, by labeling Dre the highest paid musician.

Hip-hop superproducer Dr. Dre leads the pack this year with $110 million, thanks largely to his Beats headphone line. He collected $100 million pretax when handset maker HTC paid $300 million for a 51% stake in the company last year, at the beginning of our scoring period; he and his partners later bought back half of what they sold.
