Drake – $200 Million

Although Drake is widely recognized as a talented rapper, he started his career as an actor. At 15, he was hired to play Jimmy Brooks for seven seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation. Money was tight for him and his mom, and they only survived on his income from the show.

Thankfully, his rapping skills made a name for himself, and his skills eventually reached Lil Wayne. The rest, as they say, is history as Drake went on to release chart-topping songs like Hotline Bling and God’s Plan. With a net worth of $200 million, he is one of the highest-paid musicians.
