2. Dr. Dre wasn't on the list.

LeBron James invested in Beats, and having that in his portfolio is part of his wealth.

I did some digging on Dr. Dre. I found an article that said he WAS a billionaire, but then needed to pay some debts, and dropped down to $800 million.

Another article in Rolling Stone said that in 2014, when Dre sold Beats, the company was worth $3.2 million. But Dre only owned about 25%, so that didn't make him a billionaire - again closer to $800 million.

Most recently, other articles have pinned his net worth between $250 - $500 million as of 2023.

I don't think he ever made the list.
