According to Forbes, Sean " Diddy" Combs maintained the top spot on this year's list of richest people in hip-hop -- but Jay Z is nipping at his heels. Bad Boy Entertainment founder Combs once again topped Forbes' list with a net worth of $820 million, while Beyonce's husband vaulted into second place with $810 million -- a 30 percent increase from 2016. For the fourth and fifth spots, there's a considerable drop-off, with Cash Money Records co-owner Bryan "Birdman" Williams coming in fourth with $110 million and Canadian rapper Drake rounding out the top five with $90 million.
