P Diddy has once again been named the world's richest rapper, with astronomical earnings of the world's biggest rap stars revealed in a new Forbes rich list - despite not having a released a solo track since 2011.

The list rounds up the earnings of some of rap's biggest names, with some familiar faces (Jay Z, Dr. Dre) making the top ten and some surprising stars - such as Pitbull. Mr Worldwide earns a place in the Forbes Top Ten after such stellar pop releases as his Flo Ride collaboration, 'Can't Believe It'. Good for him.
