That list isnt how much theyre worth, its how much they made in 2016

which still supports the fact musicians make more money

OHIsIManuEL:

lil wayne makes $1M per show, not to talk of tours, lil weezyana festivals, royalties and monies from drake and nicki minaj
even after the prime of his career, the mofo still gets paid,

That's a big fat lie dude. He earns $180k per show

genuineone:

this is a wrong list, go and check George Lucas and Steven Spielberg net worth, which footballer get billions of dollars

Ok.If u say so..buh Which of them is richer than Roman Abramovich..

#1 Sean "Diddy" Combs: $750 M Call him Puff Daddy or Diddy—either way, he lived up to the name of his 2015 mixtape MMM (for alter ego Money Making Mitch), thanks mostly to his agreement with Diageo’s Ciroc vodka. Also valuable: stakes in his TV network Revolt, clothing line Sean John and alkaline water Aquahydrate. Continue »

#2 Andre “Dr. Dre” Young: $710 M Two years ago the superproducer’s Beats By Dr. Dre sale got him the largest one-off payday of any living musician in history; last year’s biopic Straight Outta Compton padded his coffers, too. Now he’s sitting on a nine-figure cash stash—and a jaw- dropping portfolio of southern California real estate—that even a billionaire would envy. Continue »

#3 Shawn "Jay Z" Carter: $610 M The Brooklyn-born rapper boasts a broad range of holdings, but this year it’s his Tidal streaming service driving the growth of his fortune. The company has had its share of growing pains, but with 3 million paid subscribers, it’s now worth an estimated three times more than its $56 million purchase price. Continue »

#4 Bryan “Birdman” Williams: $110 M The Cash Money chief moves up a spot despite the dip in his fortune, down from $140 million last year thanks to turmoil in his empire. Lil Wayne, Cash Money’s flagship artist, has slowed his once-frenetic release pace; rumors of his departure, along with fellow top acts Drake and Nicki Minaj, continue to swirl. Continue »

#5 Aubrey "Drake" Graham: $60 M Known to the world by his middle name, the Toronto native once said he planned to make $250 million by the time he was 29. He’s got a ways to go, but he’s on the right track with recurring multimillion-dollar paychecks from Nike, Sprite and Apple—and the final spot on this year’s Forbes Five
I got this from Forbes.

footballers are get money but has a short career span to earn more.....


mo n wa iyawo oo

what about after retirement he becomes a coach....money still keeps rolling in.

Jethrolite:
Taylor makes her money by singing which is a lot less strenuous than kicking a ball around, by the way, have you played competitive football in your life? You think it's just about kicking a ball around? Besides this argument is not about whose money is harder to make but who makes more.

Musicians are in a different league when it comes to making money. Just tell me the richest footballer you know and I'll show you richer musicians.

Pounds, euros and dollars are not mates, that's all I have to say

You can check my previous posts for the answers you seek

mezynaija:
Today on Nairaland, I decided to bring to us this troubling question that keeps flaming augments between friends and their loved ones. Over the years this question keep coming up, but before it could be resolved, problem would arise between the both parts. So this is it, "Between Musicians and Footballers, who makes more money?

Drop your comments!!!

Copied from: http://www.jtownconnect.com/2016/07/review-between-footballers-and.html

don't just compare music with football.
The real question is sport vs music ..which earn more.
I will say sport.
Take michael Jordan, magic Johnson. .
These are sport legends they make cool money.
Michael jordan is the first sport self made billionaire.


Let forget abt that ..cos they are legends.

Let talk abt may weather the greatest boxer of 2000s
He earn $300m dollar just for one fight ..while Justin bierber has to depend on abulm sales, tours and being a brand for products to earn half of what may weather would earn in just one fight.

Now lets talk about footballers and musicians.
An average footballers earn more than an average musicians.
Do you know you the reason why the media portray africa poor? is not because they are no rich people in Africa, but is because the wealth are not even distributed among her citizens.

Now back to the topic.
Unknown footballers earn more than upcoming musicians.
There are footballers you may had never heard of..but they make cool money unlike in music were you have to be known to earn big.


Hope you got the logic.

dopeJemi:


Like I said, a footballer with two broken legs, HIV, cancer will still earn what he earns

It seems you don't know how this music game goes down, if it was by music alone, rick Ross, birdman and the rest won't be raking such amounts in their bank accounts

I dare you to name one single musician that is worth a billion dollars that he earned through his music, the only music billionaire we have is dr Dre(correct me if i'm wrong) and he earned that through a business deal, not his music

If musicians don't do shows, concerts, release songs, they won't make much, it's more like eating so I won't die

A top earning footballer might get his leg amputated and still earn what he used to earn until his contract is terminated

Luke shaw got injured for 10months and was still getting paid, let an artiste go silent for 5 months and don't release hit songs let's see how far he goes while not having any business aside

Lmao

Whether you sleep and get paid or you work hard, we both are still estimating how much at the end each makes in a year. A footballer who gets injured will still be involved in training every week. The 90 mins in the field is just a tiny fraction of the time a footballer world.

Even if you don't play again and still on contract, chances are your salary won't still be higher than a musician who gets income from royalties and streams. That's the undiluted truth.

If you use only football and music earrings, then Ronaldo only makes £20m/year. Does that look like it's higher than a boy band like One Direction's music earnings in a year let alone solo artistes? Solely music earnings will top solely football earnings by far and it's that it's still an understatement.

Dr Dre isn't billionaire, dude's not richer than Diddy sef. Billionaire artistes include the Phantom of opera guy,
Lloyd Webber, Madonna, Bono of U2, probably Paul McCartney.

You sef analyze am. The biggest earner in Africa, does he make more money than P-Square. That one too much, make we use Banky W?

Lol

TPAND:

That's a big fat lie dude. He earns $180k per show

well I'm talking of shows, not club appearances, btw, Google is your friend

let us look at this simple solution. Cristiano Ronaldo who is the highest earner in football has a net worth of $310 million while Puff Diddy who is outside top 4 in music has $750 million. you can check the rest

MrTruth4real:

U nor add entrepreneurs like bill gates and Carlos Smith and dangote. Ur list is very wrong.

Dude those guys r self made...they gat business's.. (If that word is Correct (more than one).)except for bill whose an inventor..

your kinda ryt though.. only for inventors..

dopeJemi:


Buahahahahahahahahaha

That's a fat lie, now let's assume it's true, will drake host concerts everyday? Go check his net worth


Ronaldo is currently earning about 500k pounds a week, that is 1M pounds in two weeks, 2M pounds in a month, now do the math for a year, Ronaldo uses 1 to 2 weeks to get what drake gets from his shows and album sales

who is this person¿....drake shouldn't be worth less than 75million dollars for someone who came into the music game in 2010....ronaldo already had a world best before drake started to dream of been in ymcmb....plus don't come here talking poo abeg,any footballer you want to compare with a musician should have started their career at the same time and experienced the same limelight...a poping artiste goes for a footballer in a top club...why re yhu comparing drake n ronaldo sef...why not drake n mikel obi besides mikel started way way before drake.

Still got everything wrong. How many artistes do you think you know except for the ones on YouTube?

The richest musician in the world, Lloyd Webber is unknown to you I bet. He's worth $1.2bn. Should I go on with others? Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Garth Brooks, Jimmy Buffet, Gene Artry are all richer than your boy wonder, Mayweather. The kind Mayweather didn't appear in top 50 this year after he retired, why? But but Michael Jackson is dead and still makes money. Lol

Let's come back to Nigeria
An average musician in Nigeria earns more than a professional footballer, I lie?
Even the local artiste by my street drives a Toyota Corolla just earning from performing in mediocre shows

Comparing upcoming musicians to footballers is apples and oranges. You compare noob artistes with academy players and local street athletes.

My dear, music is higher in earnings than football.

If to say this thread was about baseball and basketball players, small case for dey, lol

femiphillips007:

And also by eating junk foods and snoring all day too right? Is album sales the only means artistes make money?

This is "Nairaland" sir. Here, you will find the biggest collection of unemployed and unemployable young Nigerians. Most other people visit for our daily dose of fun served by their idleness and tomfoolery. Wait for their reactions

Who MAKES more money between a musician and a footballer is the title of the thread..
May be next time you put on your spectacles to read better.

guy wen you wanna talk about record companies dont forget to state those that sponsor sports(all are billionaires)
Compared to those you named above..

Read through my comment again.
I compared may weather with justin bierber
Same A list celeb.

A literate and a man with wisdom (good reasoning/thinking ) would know what I'm implying.

The only demerit in football/soccer is; the players only got a short term for success.

Think again.

Not forgetting the richest sportman in the world is Michael jordan (53yrs) (net worth 1.14b usd)
By the way ur analysis are flawed lloyd Webber(68yrs) is worth 715m usd..
Check the age differnce.

Nor make me laugh abeg

I see, it seems I have been arguing about who makes more money between a herbalist and a pastor since

I go with footballers.. Most get paid per week.

How much musicians wan get in a month? Just flashy life they live.

Aren't you supposed to be busy, and leave the unemployed ones?

Personally I think it's footballers. Musicians lead a charmed life. So many musicians are rich by hype but footballers have the money in reality. Plus the number of musicians who get broke and bankrupt even in their active careers make u wonder if they really are rich. How many players playing actively do you hear are broke or owe?

flokii:

I agree with you 100%
