Music’s most powerful couple has just gotten a little bit more powerful, according to Forbes.
, Jay-Z has just become the world’s first billionaire rapper.
As Forbes reports, Jay-Z has amassed a fortune that conservatively totals $1 billion, making him one of few entertainers that have ever become billionaires, as well as the first hip-hop artist to ever reach this landmark. But Jay-Z’s success lies in the fact that he is not exclusively a musician; his fortune spans several industries, from real estate to investments in companies like Uber, to the liquor and art industries.
Jay-Z started his own record label, Roc-A-Fella Records, and released a long line of award-winning albums over the course of two decades. He learned early on that the best way to grow wealth was by creating and investing in his own brands instead of promoting someone else's. This logic led him to build his own clothing line, Rocawear, which launched in 1999 and sold for $204 million in 2007.
