Dr. Dre’s mom

Talent runs in the blood, indeed. Dr. Dre’s mother, Verna Griffin, quit her band when she was 15 because she found out that she was pregnant with him. She sacrificed her own music career to raise him, and according to her, she learned and read books about child-rearing. Griffin also said that Dr. Dre was a birthday present to her since her birthday was February 4th and his was February 18th. All her mother ever wanted was to be a good mother and prove to everyone in the neighborhood wrong.

At present, Dr. Dre is the CEO and founder of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics. Now, he has a net worth of $820 million, which probably gives his financial advisor a hectic schedule. The Grammy award-winning rapper also had acting roles in movies such as Training Day, Set It Off, and The Wash.
