In 1996, Dre founded Aftermath Entertainment, which has produced chart-topping albums for artists like Eminem and 50 Cent. His contributions to hip-hop have earned him seven Grammy Awards, three of which recognize his production work. Beyond music, Dre’s entrepreneurial ventures, particularly the headphone company Beats Electronics, significantly boosted his wealth. In 2014, he sold Beats to Apple for a staggering $3 billion, reportedly pocketing $500 million, which declared him the highest-paid music artist that year.
