While tied with Kanye when it comes to Hip Hop Grammys, which music mogul was the very first rapper to make the Forbes billionaire list?

Jay-Z, who famously grew up in a Brooklyn housing project, made history in 2019 when he officially joined the Forbes billionaire club. One glance at the artist's asset portfolio makes one thing clear: Jay-Z's Midas touch extends far beyond music. While his personal music catalog is valued at around $200+ million, that's just the beginning. There's also $140 million management company, Roc Nation, plus his cognac brand ($120 million), art collection ($70 million), multiple investments, including significant stakes in Uber ($70 million) and SpaceX, real estate holdings ($50 million), and much more. Plus, the $297 million he recently pocketed from selling his TIDAL music service to Twitter's Jack Dorsey in early 2021. And if all that wasn't enough, he also gets not just any girl, but THE girl. Hard-knock life? Not so much.
