Jay-Z once stated “I’m not a businessman, I’m a business man,” this was a glimpse into the psyche of hip-hops most business savvy person. He’s not only an individual that does business but understands that his image is a business within itself. That mindset has paid off as he was established as a Billionaire.
You’ve heard that right rapper Jay-Z is a billionaire (with a “B”) after an entertainment career of more than two decades. Mr. Carter’s steadily growing kingdom has amassed a net worth of 1 billion dollars through his many ventures beyond music. Such as art, real estate and stakes in companies like Uber. Forbes has done a conclusive breakdown of calculating how his gotten to this point.
Everyone by now knows about his story before becoming a musician and releasing his debut album, ‘Reasonable Doubt’ in 1996 which makes the journey that much more impressive.
“It’s bigger than hip-hop … it’s the blueprint for our culture. A guy that looks like us, sounds like us, loves us, made it to something that we always felt that was above us.” said Superproducer Swizz Beatz, “If he’s a billionaire now, imagine what he’s about to be…Because he’s only just starting.”
This is the same man who could’ve bought a place in Dumbo for like two million that same building today is worth 25 million, needless to say, he wouldn’t allow that same mistake to happen again.
