Take A Look Inside The Jaw-Dropping Homes And Mansions Of These 7 Hip-Hop Artists

Hip-hop artists make tons of money. They earn from live performances, record sales, tour appearances, and a multitude of other income streams.

Once their music is produced, they begin receiving cash from royalties paid by third-party companies that distribute their music. With their popularity soaring, they secure endorsement deals and sell their promotional items.

We've seen them collaborate with fashion brands, and some have even established their own clothing lines.

With all that money coming in, it's not surprising to see rappers living like kings. They are known for their lavish lifestyles and for spending their wealth on ultra-expensive collections of bling, cars, and properties.

MTV Cribs used to be a phenomenon, allowing us to glimpse some of their largest and most extravagant mansions. While most hip-hop artists spend a lot of time touring and typically stay in private jets and hotel rooms, they still desire a luxurious home to return to.

And what could be better than a home with numerous bedrooms, your own adult entertainment area, and an indoor jacuzzi where you can relax with friends? Today, we're exploring the homes of various rappers as featured on MTV Cribs.

1. Snoop Dogg's Home

The rapper refers to it as the "Dogg House." His Claremont home was purchased for $660,000 and was eventually sold for $2 million in 2007 due to the upgrades he made.

Celebrities Simply Do Things Differently.

Whether it's sharing all the glitz and glamour on social media or attending star-studded events and parties, they purchase items that we ordinary people can only dream of. These purchases include enhancements that celebrities make to beautify their homes.

They acquire properties in celebrity-populated areas that far exceed the price of an average home in the U.S. Then they add upgrades such as home theater systems complete with movie couches (where they often end up sleeping), basketball courts, recording studios, and more.
