Yeah that's the only reason why he's #1

It'll be interesting to see what he makes in 2009

[Extatique]

T.I. - $13 Million
Mr. Grand Hustle himself netted a comfortable $13 million in 2007 mainly from his album sales and those of his artists

Ludacris - $14 Million
$14 million is what Luda grossed in 2007 after all was said and done. From starring in BET's Iron Ring to burning up the charts, last year Ludacris did it all

Dr. Dre - $15 Million
The year 2007 was the year of the producer. The producer/rapper made a killing producing tracks last year and off every record label that runs through his own label Aftermath Records. His grand total that year came in at $15 million.

Snoop Dogg - $16 Million
Snoop broke into Forbes' top 10 hip hop moneymakers with his $16 million netted in 2007 and looks like he can easily repeat this success in 2008. From his clothing line to album sales and his tv show to appearing on magazines nationwide, Snoop appears to have found the key to success.

Swizz Beatz - $17 Million
This Philly producer knows what tracks make the money and continues to deliver hit after hit. In 2007 he earned a smooth $17 million.
Pharrell Williams - $18 Million
Music is just one of the ways Skate Boy P. earns his money. His clothing line Ice Creamz also nets his a lot of hismoney. All together he earned a total $20 million to land him the number six spot.
Timbaland - $ 22 Million
The producer hailing from Virginia may have finished number five on the list by Forbes but finished second overall in the producer field. From making the coolest beats to laying down

Kanye West - $30 Million
His feud with rapper 50 Cent about who would have the most album sales got people hype to see what both had to offer. Kanye's "Graduation" out sold 50's record by a large margin. That along with a few tracks he made, Kanye earned a $30 million lump sum.
P. Diddy - $35 Million
Sean Combs combed in a whopping $35 million in 2007. His Sean John clothing line sales, his vokda sales, and not to mention record label success paid off well.

Jay-Z - $82 Million
Coming in at number two on the top 20 list is Mr. Sean Carter. His ownership in the NJ Nets, his clothing line, his vodka sales, his record label success and even his own album success helped Jay to collect $82 million in 2007.

50 Cent - 150 Million
The top dog of 2007 was none other than 50 Cent. His album sales earned him a bit of his earnings that year but they were not the bread winner for 50 that year. His "Vitamin Water" idea that he sold to Coca-Cola for over $100 million is what did it for him. At the end of the year after all the money had been counted, 50 came out with $150 million to add to his bank accounts.
