4. Damon Dash -- $200 Million
5. Neptunes -- $155 Million
6 Dr. Dre -- $150 Million

I heard on Chicago sports radio Brian Urlacher had 1% of the company and made something like 40 million of this. Apparently, VW didn't pay for endorsements, but instead gave them stock options.

I know for a fact that he had no where near 10% of the company.
