A List Of Hip-Hop’s Most Charitable Members

Name: Dr. Dre

Charities/Efforts: Dr. Dre is one of the most successful rapper-turned-moguls in the game. His fortune sky-rocketed with his Beats By Dre headphones, which has allowed him to spread the wealth. Recently, Dre and Jimmy Iovine donated a combined $70 million ($35 million each) to the University Of Southern California. The money went to help further the education of thousands of students in Los Angeles, as most of the funds went to creating a new degree at the university – blending liberal arts, graphic and product design, business and technology. This became the largest gift by a black man to any college or university in the country. Dr. Dre has also helped over the years to make LA a safer city by donating to numerous charities to help inner-city youth.
