Dr. Dre made Forbes' Highest-Paid Celebrities list, the only hip hop artist to do so this year. Dre made the list in fifth place, with $110 million in estimated earnings. Oprah Winfrey topped the list.
Dre earned much of his money from handset maker HTC paid $300 million for a 51 percent stake in his Beats by Dr. Dre company last August.
The money he earned from Beats dwarfs the amount he's brought in from production and royalties.
Jerry Bruckheimer placed at number four ($115 million), with Steven spielberg at number three ($130 million) and Michael Bay ($160 million).
