Jay Z | $1 Billion | Businessman

We all knew Jay Z as a rapper and the husband of diva Beyoncé, but what many of us usually forget is that he is also a huge business guy. Because of what he has done with his investments, he is now a billionaire! This net worth is independent of Beyonce’s, so his hard work is even more impressive.

Jay-Z’s ventures initially started with his S. Carter Collection Reebok shoes in 2003. Other than this, he has money in the field of real estate, in clothing lines, in record labels, in sports teams, and beverages. In one interview, he said that the brands he opened are an extension of himself as they show his personality and interest. His fashion line is called Rocawear, which he opened originally with Damon Dash but now solely owns. When it comes to food, he owns the 40/40 Club, a sports bar in New York City, Chicago, and Atlanta City. Jay Z is also one of the investors in the cosmetic line Carol’s Daughter and is one of the co-brand directors of Budweiser Select.
