Dr. Dre Tops Forbes 2012 Musicians Rich List

Dr.Dre topped the 2012 Forbes Musicians Rich List, with the producer come headphone salesman bringing home a whopping $110 million.

Not surprisingly Ireland's only representation comes from U2, who rank fourth. The group's record breaking 360 tour which grossed $736 million over three years is estimated to have made the band $78 million.

Probably the most eye-catching, but not surprising, name on the list is that of Justin Beiber. The 18 year-old Canadian sensation earned $55 million last year as 'Beiber Fever' continued to spread around the world.

Beyonce ($40 million) also interestingly appears to be the bread winner at home, as her husband Jay-Z only managed to bag $38 million this year. Tough times...
