I don’t feel their fortunes are in any way reflective of the effort they put in for their fans! Killa’s track with Alliance artist Busy Signal ‘Summn’ Ah Guh Gwarn’ He has never really fallen off and is still at the age of 37 holding his own with the younger generation of dancehall artists! Bounty Killa also a certified vet, is considered to be the most influential figure in dancehall, having brought current favourites such as Vybz Kartel, Mavado, Busy Signal and others onto the scene. Like, DPMO (I feel to get hood on this topic but i’ma hold it down lol) Beanie Man has been active since the late 1970s! He has been ‘toasting’ (form of rap branded to dancehall) since he was five years old! He is a consistent artist, to date releasing 22 studio albums, 5 compilation albums as well as numerous mixtapes. What I find quite *thinks of word* upsetting? perhaps.are the figures for Beanie Man and Bounty Killa. Shanga Paul whose fortune is estimated at US $11million I know you remember that period of time when ‘Shanga Paul’ or ‘Dutty Yeah!’ was heard on every b****clart RnB and Hip-Hop remix! Conversantly you could argue that Sean Kingston’s inclusion on the list is questionable as he is more RnB once again… CROSSOVER APPEAL. Both artist’s music received heavy rotation in the US & UK at their respective peaks. CROSSOVER APPEAL! Shaggy and Sean Paul are the ‘bashment’ artists of recent times who have enjoyed the widest audience and appeal.

It is easy to grasp what distinguishes the artist’s on the lists income. I remember buying it myself! Jimmy Cliff’s figures however are not surprising however he is arguably the second most iconic figure in reggae behind Bob Marley whose fortune would no doubt eclipse the figures on this list.ĬOMMERCIAL BANGER. Surprised? I was, bearing in mind Shaggy has not had another successful album since 2001’s Hot Shot which sold more than 20 million units world wide. Hotshot: Shaggy's 2001 album which propelled him as a reggae heavyweight Bounty Killer US$ 3 Million ( JA $225 million) Beenie Man US$ 3.7 Million (Ja$ 314.5 million) 10. Buju Banton US$ 4 Million (Ja$ 340 million) 9. Maxi Priest US$ 4.6 Million (Ja $391 million) 8. Damian Marley Net Worth US$ 6 Million (Ja $510 million) 7. Sean Kingston Net Worth US$ 7 Million (Ja$595 million) 6. Ziggy Marley Net Worth 10 Million (Ja$ 595 million) 5. Sean Paul US$ 11 Million (Ja$ 935 million) 4. Jimmy Cliff Net Worth US$18 Million (Ja$ 1.530 billion) 3. Shaggy Net Worth US$22 Million ( Ja $ 1.870 billion) 2. Vybz Kartel, Mavado, Aidonia even to a lesser extent Elephant Man. It is interesting to see that few of the dancehall artist’s who are currently relevant make the list i.e. If anything it speaks VOLUMES of the nature of the dancehall industry. Was both surprised and shocked by some of the figures, individuals and rankings on this list. Not sure how accurate this is, but i recently stumbled on this list of the supposed richest dancehall, reggae, bashment/Jamaican music (or whatever you call it) stars.
