    It appears Dre only owns 25% of the company ... so the max he'd make off the sale is $800 MIL.** After state and federal taxes, he's left with $480 MIL, and when you add in Dre's other assets, that's how Forbes now comes up with $800 MIL.* Close but no cigar. The editor says, "Not quite enough to debut on the Forbes 400 but plenty for bragging rights.”

    dr dre already is worth overt 350 mil. so 800 mil would take him over the top

    You need the whole post, pal.

    Max he gets after taxes is $480 mill. Not gonna quite get there.

    I would still be very happy with $800 million, though.

    Apple get the headphones but I believe they are also after/don't want to compete with Beats Music. When you have Apple money it's easier to buy the competition I guess. Dre and Jimmy are high-fiving all the way to the bank, that's for sure. They formed Beats Electronics in 2008 and 6 years later sold it for 3.2 Billion. Whoa.

    Still rocking a 3GS, almost 5 years old, keeps a full charge and lasts all day. The camera is not great but let's be honest, anyone interested in taking good pictures is not using a phone.

    Dre gave him his first break, but by no means "made" him.

    Clearly not an apple owner. And the new studios/executives are the only ones worth buying
