Check out why these Hip-Hop moguls are excited! Well we'd be cheesin' this hard too if we were worth over a billion dollars combined!

FORBES just released the 5 wealthiest hip hop artists. While the names are no surprises, their worth may be.

1. Sean "Diddy" Combs is the king of the list...having an estimated net worth of $550 million.

2. Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter has a reported networth of $460 mill. Rocawear and a strand of 40/40 clubs. and much more!

3. Dr. Dre is #3 with a $260 mill net worth. The price on his lifestyle doubled due to the $300 mill sale of his BEATS headphones to HTC.

4. Birdman takes the spot with $125 mill. Mainly thanks to his $30 mill deal he twerked with Universal Records for them to house his Cash Money Records label.

5. 50 Cent. He's got a $110 mill net worth....with $100 mill stemming from that HUGE Vitaminwater deal where the company and his stakes were sold to the Coca-Cola company.
