JAY-Z Hip-Hop career spans across two decades but the rapper has no problem with continuing being one of the most relevant faces for the genre. Morphing from one of Hip-Hop’s greatest to a mogul that many admire for his business acumen, it’s that and so much more that has JAY-Z breaking boundaries in this current day and age.
Adding another huge milestone to his career, Forbes has announced that JAY-Z has officially hit billionaire status. Furthermore, and a huge look for Hip-Hop, the rapper and father has gone on to become the genre’s first artist to become a billionaire.
……it’s clear that Jay-Z has accumulated a fortune that conservatively totals $1 billion, making him one of only a handful of entertainers to become a billionaire—and the first hip-hop artist to do so. Jay-Z’s steadily growing kingdom is expansive, encompassing liquor, art, real estate (homes in Los Angeles, the Hamptons, Tribeca) and stakes in companies like Uber.
As referenced, above, the likes of his D’Usse cognac, Ace of Spades champagne brand, his music catalog and much more serve as the means that has got JAY-Z to this legendary moment.
An inspiration to many across several walks of life, the Reasonable Doubt rapper isn’t anywhere near finished yet. Congratulations, HOV!
