Hip Pop First Billionare Dr. rakes in $3Billion from Beats-Google Deal and Acquires a Mansion

Andre Young aka Dr. Dre

Report reaching us is that multi-talented music producer Dr Dre have committed a whooping $40million to buy the mega mansion of supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her quarterback husband, Tom Brady in Brentwood, California.

Dre, who recently signed a $3billion deal with Apple for his Beats Electronic company was the highest bidder for the house which has been on the market for about three months now.
The mansion, which is Eco-friendly, is made of two estates that collectively has 8 bedrooms, six garages and a moat. The main house alone is on almost 14,000 square feet with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It also has a professional grade home gym, an infinity pool, a waterfall and a motor court.

As music mogul Jimmy Iovine and rap star Dr. Dre shopped their Beats Electronics headphone company and streaming service to Apple Inc., AAPL -0.27% Mr. Iovine did most of the talking.

But behind the scenes, Dr. Dre—whose real name is Andre Young —has quietly played an equally powerful role developing and protecting the Beats brand, eschewing market research for gut instinct at every turn. Though his main obsession is perfecting the sound of the company's signature high-end headphones, the 49-year-old fitness-obsessed music producer weighs in decisively on everything from TV ads and font styles to the wordiness of descriptions on the Beats Music streaming service.

As one colleague says, Dr. Dre serves as Beats' "cultural barometer" of what is cool.

But Dr. Dre's process is mysterious, colleagues say: His assessments are usually immediate, personal and articulated sparely. He often dismisses ideas such as posing for clichéd photos in a recording studio as too "corny" or "cheesy." Or he'll wave them off with a terse "I'm not feeling that."

Dr. Dre's laconic style highlights his keen awareness of a universal dilemma, said Mr. Iovine: "Once you try to describe cool you run the risk of going perpetually to non-cool hell. The whole premise is not to talk about it."
