Jay-Z Is Officially a Billionaire

JAY-Z is the first hip-hop artist to become a billionaire, according to the new cover story in Forbes released on Monday. The rapper turned mogul has become the first hip-hop artist to amass a billion-dollar fortune with his impressive investments across liquor, art, real estate and companies like Uber.

When JAY-Z rapped “I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man” on Kanye West’s 2005 track “Diamonds From Sierra Leone,” he really meant it. The rap star understands the game of creating commercially viable side hustles. JAY is the epitome of “The Evolution of Celeb-Preneurtship“, instead of endorsing other brands he invented his.

The hip-hop fans are chuffed by this milestone. Let’s not forget that JAY-Z was a drug dealer in his hometown of Brooklyn. In 1996, he started his own label, Roc-A-Fella Records, to release his debut album, “Reasonable Doubt“. Since then, he has earned 14 No. 1 albums, 22 Grammy wins and a reported $500 million in pretax earnings, according to the outlet.
