Dr. Dre made more money in 2014 than any other musicians in the world. Despite the fact that he didn't release new music and albums in months, the rap mogul comes out at the top of the highest-paid musicians list released by Forbes.

Dre pulled in $620 million before taxes thanks in large part to the sale of Beats to Apple for $3 billion earlier this year. Miles behind the rapper on the list is Beyonce Knowles who according to the magazine earned $115 million that came from her tours, the sales of her surprise album and her endorsement deals with Pepsi and H&M.

Veteran rock band Eagles is the next highest-paid musician of the year. Most of $100 million they made this year was from their ongoing "History of the Eagles" tour. Fellow rock acts Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen close out the top 5 with $82 million and $81 million respectively.

Younger names on the list include Justin Bieber (No. 6 with $80 million), One Direction (No. 7 with $75 million), Calvin Harris (No. 9 with $66 million) and Taylor Swift (No. 11 with $64 million). Jay-Z, P. Diddy and Bruno Mars are tied at No. 12 with $60 million each.
