While tied with Kanye when it comes to 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. A glance at the artist's portfolio of assets makes clear that Jay-Z's Midas touch extends far beyond music. In addition to his personal music catalogue ($200+ million), there's his $140 million company, Roc Nation, 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 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 the girl... as in THE girl. Hard-knock life? Not so much.
