Jay Z is Now the First Hip-Hop Billionaire

While we know between Jay Z and his wife, Beyonce, the two have that money. But Jay Z has recently made Forbes list as the first rapper who is worth one billion dollars. Let's keep in mind Jay isn't just a rapper, but he is also a businessman. I will be honest and say, I thought it would have been may Sean Diddy Combs or even Dr. Dre to be on Forbes' list as one of the first, but Jay got that. So if you're trying to figure out, "How, Sway?" Let's break down how Jay is really making that money. His money adds up between a number of things from investments that equal about $220 million, to Tidal ($100 million) to Roc Nation ($75 million). And of course there is Jay's music catalog, oh and his Ace of Spades at $310 million. So that's just an idea. This isn't even his money combined with his wife because he and Beyonce have been worth more than a billion, together, for a while now.
