During a new cover story interview with Billboard, the music mogul and Bad Boy Records founder named two current artists who he believes will hit 10-figure wealth during their life.

"But one person that I can say right now is Travis Scott. I can relate to how he’s diversifying his portfolio and really understanding how to take it to the next level.
