Jay-Z once rapped 'I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man.' Turns out he was right.
The superstar rapper is also a fashion trendsetter, a streaming music mogul, a sports management company owner and Mr. Beyonce Knowles.All that has helped him to become the first billionaire rapper, according to Forbes.
Jay-Z, who grew up in a Brooklyn housing project, rose to fame in 1996 with his debut album"Reasonable Doubt." His sixth album, 2001's"The Blueprint," was added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry -- reserved for albums that are"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" -- earlier this year.
