  The other day the Financial Times published the list of the best paid American musicians in 2014 and without being a surprise to anyone, Dr. Dre took the first position after the best year of his career. Do not think, however, that Dr. Dre recorded substantial income from the sale of music, concerts or other collaborations on this plan, the sale of Beats by Dre to Apple bringing him most of the $620 million earned in 2014.

  Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), bought Beats for the amount of 3 billion dollars and a good part of this money They arrived to co-founders Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, the former becoming the highest-paid musician in a single year. The 620 million dollars collected by Dr. Dre represents the combined amount of the artists/bands: Beyonce, The Eagles, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Justin Bieber and One Direction, and this says a lot about his achievements.
