				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Dre made headlines earlier this year when Apple purchased Beats Music for around <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/28/apple-buys-beats-electronics-for-3b/">3 billion dollars</a>. According to Forbes, this resulted in Dre making a grand total of <a href="http://www.forbes.com/pictures/eeel45emedh/1-dr-dre-620-million/">$620 million this year</a>. This is a staggering amount of money. You can say the words “six hundred and twenty million” but that doesn’t really do it justice. I mean, there are <em>countries</em>, with GDPs smaller than this (Looking at you, Samoa. Step up your game). To give you an impression of how much money Dre made, we met up and put together a list of things that he could do with that money.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>At the going price of $9.99 on iTunes, Dre could purchase 52 million copies of The Chronic: 2001, making it the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20060517211811/http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=50890">best selling album of all time</a>, and still have enough left over to buy 51 million copies of “Forgot About Dre” (at $1.29 apiece) to make it the best selling single of all time.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>US farmers produce roughly 26 million metric tons of sugar beets annually, or 9.6% of the global annual output. California beet farmers yield nearly 160 tonnes per hectare and the average price of irrigated farmland in California is <a title="$29,640" href="http://www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_State/California/Publications/Other_Files/201209lndvlscshrnts.pdf">$29,640</a> per hectare. This means that if Dre spent all of his Beats money on a new farming venture, there could be a 13% chance your salad is made with Beets By Dre.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>For the “I Need A Doctor” music video Dre let a film crew crash his Ferrari Modena. Judging by his reaction he actually kinda enjoyed it:<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/N8NFbwlkNPs" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
Assuming a $250,000 price tag, Dre could total a Ferarri every day for the next 6.8 years if he wanted. Maybe a full seven if he took a break on federal holidays.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Last May, Dr. Dre and Beats co-founder, Jimmy Iovine <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/dr-dre-and-jimmy-iovine-give-70-million-to-university-of-southern-californa-20130515">donated $70 million to the University of Southern California</a> to establish a new undergraduate major for students with interest in the arts and entrepreneurship. <a href="http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/1563010/jimmy-iovines-usc-commencement-speech-with-surprise-appearance-by-dr-dre-full?page=0%2C0">USC honored Iovine with an Honorary Doctorate of Music</a>. Dre however, while also present at the 2013 commencement, was not and still does not have any legitimate basis for calling himself &#8220;Dr.&#8221;  If that ever bothered him, Dre could afford to enroll in o<a href="http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg04_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=1138">ne of USC&#8217;s 126 Doctoral Programs</a>&#8230; or all of them. He could first complete the <a href="http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg04_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=1138">106 Undergraduate majors and 131 Masters  Degree programs</a> as pre-requisites and would still have 90% of his Beats money intact.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>The cost of renting a 10 foot U Haul in Long Beach, CA and driving it to Nebraska City, NE is <a href="http://www.uhaul.com/reservations/RatesTrucks.aspx">$1,465</a>. The population of Compton CA is around <a href="http://compton.areaconnect.com/statistics.htm">94,000</a>. For less than 25% of his yearly income, Dre could literally move every single person straight outta Compton</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To wrap this up: In the words of JT&#8217;s character from The Social Network &#8220;A million dollars isn&#8217;t cool. You know what&#8217;s cool? Releasing Detox&#8221;</p>
