Dr Dre Net Worth
Dr Dre is one of the wealthiest rappers. Why is that? He’s much more than a rapper. His income has also solid boost from his entrepreneurship. In 2015, Dr Dre’s current net worth is approximately $650 million. When it comes to business, you most likely know his spectacular headphones Beats by Dr. Dre that strongly participate on his wealth.
While his net worth is really huge, some wonder how about he’s not a billionaire. He sold Beats to Apple for $3 billion, didn’t he? But he wasn’t the only owner of the company at the time he sold it and there is also that inconvenient thing called income tax. Both these factor combined shrunk his share from the sale notably. At the end, he netted probably $500 million from it.
In 2014, Dr Dre did some major purchase. He bought huge mansion in Brentwood from one famous couple – Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady. He paid $40 million for this luxury home. It has large pool and roof full of solar panels. Does it make it mansion this big an eco-friendly? Actually, we don’t care. Real estate property has also a laerge swimming pool.
With his new home, Dr Dre doens’t need the old one. So he listed his previous mansion for $35 million. He was eventually able to sell the home for $32.5 which is also not bad. Price might look high but the real estate is located in Beverly Hills, California and houses in that area certainly have their value. Dr Dre lives with his wife Nicole Young. They married in 1996.
