Rap icon Dr. Dre and his business partner, music producer Jimmy Lovine, decided to ignore popular financial advice. Instead of diversifying, they put all their time and money behindĀ one business venture: headphones. Thankfully, for them, it paid off. In 2006, the two founded Beats, which initially just created high-quality headphones. Now, they create speakers, clothing, and even have aĀ subscription-based music streaming service, Beats Music.
Dr. Dre held a 25% interest in Beats from its creation until it was acquired by Apple in 2014. Believe it or not, Beats Music is the biggest acquisition in Appleās history, at an insane $3.2 billion. After taxes, Dre came away with an impressive $500 million payday!
