This year’s report shows that Kanye West has surpassed Drake to secure the number 4 spot with his net worth of $240 million. This can be attributed to his partnership with Adidas.

Coming in at 5th is the youngest of the five, Drake with a net worth of $150 million. Thanks to his Virginia Black whiskey investment and his Las Vegas residency, his fortune has grown by 50 percent in the last year alone.
