The Cannon Family – $50 million
Nick Cannon is an award-winning rapper, producer and actor, and is one of America’s youngest and richest elites. A big chunk of his wealth comes from his best-selling music, and while he started with the rap group Da G4 Dope Bomb Squad., his popularity exploded when he released his hit singles, including “I’m A Slick Rick,” “Can I Live?” and “Nick’s Story.” Cannon eventually created his own rap label, followed by the setting up of a small record company.
