Eminem, Mariah Carey, and Jay-Z landed in the top 10 of Rolling Stone's "Rock's 50 Richest 2003" list. The list was topped by Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, and the Dave Matthews Band, which hold the Number One, Two, and Three positions, respectively.
Eminem landed at Number Five with estimated net earnings of $28.9 million. The rapper's earnings came from touring, his highly successful The Eminem Show album, his Shady Records label--which released the quadruple-platinum 8 Mile soundtrack--and the $3 million he earned for starring in 8 Mile.
Mariah Carey's $23.3 million landed her at Number Eight. The bulk of Carey's earnings came from a $30 million buyout of her contract by Virgin Records in January of 2002. The singer signed a new deal with Island Def Jam for approximately $15 million and also released a new album, Charmbracelet.
Jay-Z lands at Number Nine with estimated net earnings of $22.7 million. The rapper-entrepreneur received a $15 million advance against future artist royalties, and a one-third cut of the proceeds from his Rocawear clothing line.
Other urban artists making the top 50 include: Jennifer Lopez at Number 26 with an estimated $12.2 million, Brian "Baby" Williams at Number 28 with an estimated $11.8 million, Dr. Dre at Number 29 with $10.6 million, the Neptunes at Number 35 with $8.9 million, and Nelly at Number 48 with $6.6 million.
