I would say Beyonce's husband, Jay Z. He made like $82 million I believe. When I did a search he was at the top of the list. He has several investments. A few years ago I heard he had some type of ownership of a sports team on television. I don't know how true that is today. I do know for a fact that he still makes music, record label, and clothing line.
