Jay-Z is an American rapper, songwriter, record executive, businessman, and record producer. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential hip-hop artists in history, and often cited as one of the greatest rappers of all time.
Jay-Z net worth is estimated to be an incredible $1 billion as of 2024, which did make him the richest rapper of all time, and the very first billionaire in the hip hop industry. However, Kanye West has since become the richest, pushing Jay-Z down to #2.
Just like many of the other successful athletes and musicians of the world, Jay-Z didn’t let music be the be-all and end-all of his career. He diversified and began investing in nightclubs, restaurants, his own clothing line, and record label.
