Sean “Diddy” Combs is well on his way to becoming hip-hop’s first billionaire.
The rap mogul tops Forbes magazine 2013 list of Wealthiest Hip-hop Artists and he is well ahead of the pack.
Thanks to his stake in Ciroc, Forbes gave Diddy an estimated net worth of $580 million. The closest artists to Diddy is Jay-Z with an estimated net worth of $475 million.
According to Forbes, Diddy inked a deal with the Ciroc brand 3 years ago at a time when the Vodka was seeing slow sales. However, through heavy marketing and putting his name behind it, Ciroc is now one of the leading Vodka brand in the world.
