From Mixtapes To Millions, These Rappers Broke Every Single Rule

Cole – $60 Million

College dropout? Nope. Jermaine Lamarr Cole, born January 28, 1985, graduated magna cum laude before flipping his degree into lyrics and bank accounts. He hit big with “2014 Forest Hills Drive,” a triple-platinum, no-features classic that made fans scream and critics bow down.

By 2025, he’s stacked up $60 million through music, touring, and his label Dreamville Records, home to artists like J.I.D. and Ari Lennox. But that’s not all. He also joined the Charlotte Hornets ownership team in 2023, proving he’s got game off the mic, too. From Fayetteville projects to Forbes pages, the man’s been building more than bars; he’s building a legacy.
