#TheQuench: Dr. Dre is Forbes List 2012 Highest Paid Musician

Cha-Ching!

Thanks to "Beats By Dre" headphones, Dr. Dre has pulled in over $100 million dollars this year leading Forbes' list of highest paid musicians. 

Ooowee. 

Other notables, Taylor Swift beats out Justin Beiber by a mili, sitting pretty at number 8 with $57 million. Lady Gaga and Diddy are number 13 and 15, respectively. And Rihanna tops both Beyonce and Jaz-Z Carter with a comfy $53 million dollars.

P.S. Who the heck is Roger Waters you say? I wondered the same damn thing. He's a one of the founding members of the rock band, Pink Floyd and clearly a BAWSE.

Here's the list in its entirety:
