lot of that on mansions luxurious trips expensive watches and fancy cars luckily he has some side hustles going that allow him to pay for this lavish lifestyle dr dre's net worth skyrocketed thanks to his business ventures some might say his business acumen is even more impressive than his rhyming skills this is how dr dre spends all of that hard-earned cash dr dre faced a lot of hardship early in his life his story is a true rags to riches tale he may have grown up dirt poor but today he is worth north of 800 million dollars dr dre worked tirelessly to earn his millions he parlayed his rhyming skills into a successful rap career and then he turned that rap career into a business empire that is unmatched by pretty much anyone except for jay-z dr dre dropped out of high school to pursue a career in music that may have seemed like a dumb decision at the time but it definitely paid off he soon found himself djing as a teen stardom followed when nwa hit it big nwa is considered one of the most iconic hip-hop groups of all time and the group would not have been nearly as successful without dr dre nwa not only changed music but we changed pop culture if you haven't seen straight outta compton yet you really need to check it out next came producing and then even more money finally he hit pay dirt when he co-founded beats electronics after apple bought beats dr dre famously proclaimed he would be the first hip-hop billionaire that hasn't happened yet but it could in the very near future rappers love to flaunt cash but dr dre is ballin on a whole nother level dr dre's breakthrough came with nwa and then he started raking in the cash but even though it was far more than he was making as a teen it wasn't enough dr dre left nwa and forms death row records in 1991 his debut solo album the chronic sold 5.7 million copies and he started pulling in the stacks of cash dollar bills on dollar bills on dollar bills for many this would have been enough dr dre was always about doing his own thing and now he was stacking chips he started earning really fast money when he started producing this was a far more lucrative game than rhyming he showed his street smarts and was pulling in millions for his input he founded aftermath records in 1996 and all of the big stars wanted dr dre as a producer he produced mary j blige's family affair for a cool two million dollars artists who weren't signed to aftermath had to pay dr dre 250 000 per track for his producing skills dre discovered eminem and 50 cent and both hit it big with aftermath you could say that they both owe their careers to dr dre dr dre proved he could not just make millions for himself but help others launch their own empires too aftermath was a success of epic proportions but dr drain knew that it was time to move on to bigger and better things and by bigger and better things we mean more money dr dre earned a cool 35 million when he sold his stake in aftermath to interscope records dr dre's biggest money-making venture was just beginning he launched beats electronics in 2006 with jimmy iavine and by 2008 beats by dre headphones were everywhere everyone had to have a pair of these iconic headphones they were high quality and practical headphones but they were also a fashion statement dr dre made 100 million when beats was sold to htc but the company eventually bought back its shares and dr dre was back in control apple ceo tim cook took notice of the success and popularity of beats by dre and apple eventually bought beats electronics for a staggering 3 billion dollars it was a truly unprecedented move because apple rarely buys out other companies dr dre pocketed 500 million from the sale and his path to billionaire status took another huge step forward don't be fooled by dre's massive earnings he doesn't just sit on his cash he likes to have fun too he hasn't blown through his money fast enough to go broke but he has spent millions on luxurious mansions incredible sports cars extravagant trips and plenty of bling he's even willing to give his money away if it's for a good cause dr dre's biggest purchase was a 14 000 square foot mansion that he bought for 40 million dollars this lavish pad located in brentwood california was once owned by tom brady and gazelle butchen mansions don't get much more impressive than this but dr dre wasn't satisfied with the moat infinity pool and stunning view of the pacific ocean dre wanted to make this mansion even cooler so he drew up plans for a 10 000 square foot music studio under the mansion dr dre's multi-millionaire status means that he has more than one property he bought a 2.4 million dollar mansion in woodland hills in 1999 but this was just the first of many extravagant pies he spent 12.5 million on a stunning 8 800 square foot mansion in carbon beach malibu carbon beach is famously known as billionaire beach and dr dre has plenty of neighbors with just as much cash as he has and many with much more his 12.5 million dollar beachfront property is actually one of the more affordable mansions in the area dr dre doesn't just keep his properties forever if there's a profit to be made he'll take it he sold his 9696 square foot hollywood hills mansion for 32.5 million and listed an impressive plot of land in hidden hills for 14.5 million dr dre was a long way from compton now dr dre really knows how to party when you're as loaded as he is partying comes easy dr dre rented a private helicopter so that he and his wife could see hamilton on broadway he then threw down plenty of cash to rent a luxury yacht for a european cruise dr dre and his wife were joined by exhibit for this fabulous week-long european voyage rappers typically love bling but dr dre likes to be a bit more classy when it comes to his jewelry he doesn't sport gaudy chains like many rappers do instead he likes to keep things subtle and go with one special piece for dre it's watches he is the complete opposite of rappers like lil wayne who famously sported a million dollar diamond encrusted pair of beats by dre at a lakers game why waste money on a diamond grill when you can wear an exclusive timepiece dr dre has an incredible collection of watches and rolexes are his favorite a gold rolex day date and rolex diamond masterpiece are just a couple of the watches in dre's collection he also loves to give watches as gifts rick ross received a fabulous 100 000 hublot watch from dr dre as a gift it pays to have friends in high places some celebs like watches others like cars but dr dre loves both his fleet of luxury supercars is nothing to sneer at his garage is filled with dream cars and powerful machines the most impressive car in his collection is easily his 450 thousand dollar rolls royce phantom drop head coupe the lowriders that dr dre drove in his still dre music video were cool but they're nothing compared to a rolls royce is there anything more gangsta than rolling into the hood in a rolls royce dr dre's garage is filled with plenty of other impressive vehicles like a 200 000 bently continental gt coupe that was a gift from eminem and a 68 thousand dollar hummer h2 he even has a 200 000 cadillac escalade why would an escalade be that much well dr dre really went all out and pimped this ride dre's custom escalade has a pull-out fridge luxury seats full-size tv and desks it's his mobile office on wheels the collection doesn't end there dr dre also has four porsches a chrysler 300s and multiple ferraris dr dre is a big fan of ferraris and showcased a ferrari 360 in his i need a doctor music video that ferrari met a terrible fate when it was totaled there's no question dre keeps his personal ferraris in much better shape dr dre doesn't hoard his money and he doesn't blow it all on extravagant items he treats his friends well and buys them gifts if he sees it worthwhile charity he's more than happy to donate some of his hard-earned money dr dre donated 70 million dollars to the university of southern california to create the jimmy even and andre young academy of the arts this was a welcome gesture meant to help students with their creative endeavors however controversy arose when dr dre's daughter was later accepted to usc there may be no correlation but many were upset considering how prevalent college admissions scandals have become in the world of hollywood my daughter got into usc all on her own no jail time he wrote on instagram dr dre's wealth is truly almost unprecedented in the world of rap only jay-z and beyonce have the same kind of wealth dr dre has spent years amassing an empire but the future might not be so bright proclaiming that he would be the first hip-hop billionaire might have been a jinx dre is facing an uncertain future and he's now dealing with divorce proceedings nicole young filed for divorce from dr dre last month and this could be the biggest expense of dre's life a 40 million mansion is nothing compared to losing half of your net worth dre and nicole young have been married for 24 years and if the divorce goes through dre could lose 400 million as he does not have a prenup yikes sometimes
