#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.

My kind of party.

The two powerhouse acts are set to shut down the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on December 31.

Not only is Hova minority owner of the Brooklyn Nets, he also serves as director of the Brooklyn Arena which is the company that owns the Barclays Center. Of course, that means BIG THINGS are in stored for the future of that venue, including already confirmed dates for upcoming Coldplay performances.

Wow. Jay is really not just a businessman, but a business. MAN!!!

Tickets for the show go on sale November 17.
