From Mixtapes To Millions, These Rappers Broke Every Single Rule

Mike D (Michael Diamond) – $100 Million

Imagine dropping a debut album in the 1980s that still slaps in 2025; Michael Louis Diamond did that and more. Born November 20, 1965, and known to the world as Mike D, he helped flip the hip-hop world upside down with the Beastie Boys. Their first album, “Licensed to Ill,” made history as the first rap record to hit #1 on the Billboard 200.

Beyond the beats, he’s dabbled in fashion, art, and even podcast appearances that fans can’t get enough of. His net worth? A cool $100 million. Legacy, lyrics, and longevity; he’s proof that cool never really goes out of style.
