| DR. DRE |
Apple is said to be acquiring Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion, and while the deal is yet to be formally confirmed, Dre has been busy looking for a new mansion fit for a mogul.
Sources say Dre has made an offer near the $50 million asking price for Bundchen and Brady’s palatial pad in Brentwood. The 14,000-square-foot mega-mansion, featured in Architectural Digest, boasts six bedrooms, a library, a state-of-the-art gym, infinity pool, waterfall and even a moat. No word on the sound system, but Dre will be sure to have his own put in place.

As news of Apple’s move to acquire Beats emerged late on Thursday, a Facebook video uploaded by actor Tyrese Gibson featuring Dre suggested the deal was done.
In the clip, actor Gibson — known for his roles in the “Fast & Furious” and “Transformers” franchises — congratulates Dre, the CEO of Beats and a co-founder with Jimmy Iovine, on the acquisition.
Gibson jokes about the Forbes list, which ranked Dre the second-wealthiest hip-hop artist of 2014 with an estimated wealth of $550 million, saying, “They need to update the Forbes list. S–t just changed.”
Dre adds, “The first billionaire in hip-hop, right here from the motherf–king West Coast.” The video has since been pulled from Gibson’s Facebook page.
The title of richest man in hip-hop, according to Forbes, currently belongs to Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs, who the magazine says is worth $700 million. Jay Z is in third place with $520 million.
