Dr. Dre is one of the most important and influential figures in popular music in the last 50 years, shaping hip-hop and pop’s sound for decades through his work as part of N.W.A. and during his own solo career.
Dre also co-founded Beats Electronics with music mogul Jimmy Iovine. When the company was bought by Apple in 2013, Dr. Dre achieved what Forbes referred to as “the biggest single-year payday of any musician in history.”
