3. Jay Z – Net Worth $650m
He’s the 88th greatest recording artist of all time according to Rolling Stone, he’s married to Beyonce and he’s way up there on the list of richest rappers. Life must be good for Jay Z.
Jay Z co-owns the 40/40 Club in New York, is the former president of Def Jam, founded Roc Nation Sports, and is even classed as a certified NBA sports agent. This still doesn’t scratch the surface though, even the man himself must forget the specifics of what he’s actually invested in from time to time.
As one half of music’s most powerful couple, his fortune could double before long.
