Damn, the recession seems to be hitting everyone these days because even with a 57% decrease Jay-Z still remains Forbes' Cash King of 2009. Last year Hov made approximately $35 million while the year before he made $82. At the end of the day he's still rich as fuck so it doesn't really make a difference but I guess its still neat to look at. It actually just makes me depressed lol.
Check out the rest of the top 20 after the jump. Trust me, it'll surprise you.
1. Jay-Z ($35 millions)
2. Diddy ($30 millions)
3. Kanye West ($25 millions)
4t. 50 Cent ($20 millions)
4t. Akon ($20 millions)
6. Lil Wayne ($18 millions)
7. Timbaland ($17 millions)
8. Pharrell ($16 millions)
9. T-Pain ($15 millions)
10. Eminem ($14 millions)
11. Dr. Dre ($13 million)
12. Snoop Dogg ($11 million)
13. Ludacris ($10 million)
14t. Swizz Beatz ($8 million)
14t. T.I. ($8 million)
14t. will.i.am ($8 million)
14t. Common ($8 million)
18t. Big Boi ($7 millions)
18t. Andre 3000 ($7 millions)
20t. Young Jeezy, The Game, Rick Ross, and Flo Rida ($6 million)
Kanye made more than 50, Akon made the same as 50, and Common made the same as T.I.! That's all crazy! Not to mention Dr. Dre and Eminem cashing out big time after not really doing much last year and Pharrell making a killing with his Ice Cream line.
