DR. DRE

André Romelle Young, otherwise known as Dr. Dre, was a member of the gangsta group N.W.A and a member of World Class Wreckin’ Cru. He became one of the best-selling American music celebrities in 1993 when he released his album The Chronic. Dr. Dre’s wealth, however, came mainly from his businesses. He founded Beats Electronics and Aftermath Entertainment. The rapper was also recognized for popularizing West Coast G-funk, a hip-hop subgenre characterized by slow, heavy beats.

Before becoming a hip-hop legend, Dr. Dre lived in a modest little house in his hometown of Compton, Los Angeles. Proud of his origins, Dr. Dre allowed the usage of his childhood home in the movie Straight Outta Compton. The media entrepreneur has many real estate investments now, including an $80 million house in Los Angeles. He most likely stays in his Calabasas home as it has a complete recording studio.
