Last year Eminem made a massive comeback with hits such as 'River' featuring Ed Sheeran. Eminem dropped the emotional video for his hit last month, which was quickly a hit with fans.

This year BRIT Award winner Drake cracks the $100 million mark for the first time ever, making it to number four on the list.

The former number 1 on this list, Diddy, is up only slightly compared to last year because of 'tepid trends' in the vodka and cable TV sectors which have affected his interests in Ciroc and Revolt.

Meanwhile, it is Jay-Z who takes the crown from Diddy this year with his net worth jumping from $810m to $900m, mostly to the rising value of his stakes in Armand de Brignac champagne and D’Ussé cognac.
