FORBES states:

Jay Z, who pulled in $56 million. He once described himself as “the man who write checks with the hand that don’t write,” a reference to his knack for composing his own verses in his head. The multifaceted mogul’s 22 shows with wife Beyoncé boosted his bottom line alongside ventures like entertainment company Roc Nation and Armand de Brignac champagne, both manifestations of a new career path he embarked upon 12 years ago.

Rounding out the rest of the top 5 are Drake at #3 ($39.5 million), Dr. Dre at #4 ($33 mill) and Pharrell ($32 mill) at #5.

As for how FORBES came to these numbers, the site states:

To formulate the Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, we consider pretax income from touring, record sales, streaming, publishing, merchandise sales, endorsements and other business ventures. Management, agent and attorney fees are not deducted. Earnings are calculated from June 2014 to June 2015 and based on data from Nielsen SoundScan, Pollstar, the RIAA and from interviews with managers, lawyers, executives and a handful of the artists themselves.
