Jay-Z is making money moves.
Forbes announced Monday that Jay-Z has become the first hip-hop artist to rack up a billion-dollar fortune, thanks to lucrative investments in real estate, art, liquor and businesses like Uber.
The accomplishment is a far cry from his humble beginnings. Jay-Z was a drug dealer in his hometown of Brooklyn before creating his own label in 1996, Roc-A-Fella Records, from which he released his debut album"Reasonable Doubt." Since then, the rapper-turned-mogul has earned 14 No. 1 albums, 22 Grammy awards and over $500 million in pre-tax earnings, according to Forbes.Jay-Z performs onstage at SOMETHING IN THE WATER - Day 2 on April 27, 2019 in Virginia Beach City.Since launching Armand de Brignac in his 2006 video"Show Me What You Got," the champagne company is estimated to now be worth $310 million. His cognac D’Ussé, a joint venture with Bacardi, is worth $100 million.
Jay-Z has $220 million in cash and investments, including a stake in Uber worth an estimated $70 million, which he originally purchased for $2 million. His streaming service Tidal – which was launched in 2015 with the help of celebrity investors, including wife Beyoncé – is estimated by Forbes to be worth $100 million.The rapper has accumulated $75 million from his entertainment company, Roc Nation, which represents top artist and athletes like Rihanna and Kevin Durant. His own music catalog is estimated to be worth $75 million alone.
