We are all failures- Dr Dre makes $20 per SECOND

[dBoyFresh*212]

In a list compiled by Sky Range using data from Forbes, the website has listed the amounts various musicians made per second in 2014.

Thanks to the Beats Electronics deal with Apple, which was announced in May of last year, Dr. Dre towered over the other musicians featured on the “Highest Paid Music Stars In 2014” list. According to Sky Range, the former N.W.A. lyricist made approximately $20 per second in 2014.

Other artists featured at the top of the list include Taylor Swift ($2.03 per second), Justin Bieber ($2.54 per second), Beyonce ($3.65 per second), and Rihanna ($1.52 per second).

In addition to Dre, other Hip Hop artists to make it onto Sky Range’s list include Jay Z ($1.90 per second), Diddy ($1.90 per second), and Drake ($1.05 per second).

Last year, Dr. Dre topped a number of Forbes’ lists including their “Hip Hop Cash Kings 2014” and "World's Highest-Paid Musicians" lists.

According to Forbes’ "World's Highest-Paid Musicians" list, Dre brought in $620 million in 2014 (before taxes).

Although the Compton, California rapper-turned-businessman was the highest-paid musician last year, Dre has kicked off 2015 at the center of a lawsuit filed by Monster against Beats By Dre.

According to Monster CEO Noel Lee, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine "committed fraud in pirating the headphones away from Lee and Monster" with their Beats By Dre headphones.

$20/sec? fukk my life

 

[C.G.Jung777]

If money bought happiness then it would be real simple, everyone who is rich would be happy, and you wouldn't see all these millionaires being addicts, getting divorced, being shytty parents, compulsively striving after more and more wealth, fukking other people over to get more money thinking that will make them happy.

Happy people do none of these things, happy people don't exploit others for personal gain, happy people don't lust after power, fame, name brand bullshyt, and approval of the masses.

Happy people don't have a million plastic surgery procedures in a desperate attempt to make themselves beautiful enough to be loved by everyone, because then THAT will make them happy. Many of the uber rich do all this ridiculous shyt because they have been told their entire lives that amassing monetary and material wealth will make them happy, and when it doesn't, they reach for some other misguided notion of happiness perpetrated by the media and society as a whole, only to fail once again.

That being said, hell yeah $20/sec would be nice, just don't make it out to be the end-all-be-all in life.
