4. Drake ($75 million)

Drake’s main source of income is his music. He had a 10-show residency in Las Vegas that raked in some cash for the Hip Hop artiste. ‘Scorpion’, his double album debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard 200 in July 2018.

One other music business move that raked in revenue for Drake was his collaboration with Migos for the Aubrey and the Three Migos tour, earning them $79 million on its 43-date run and sold over 600,000 tickets.
