Jay-Z has accumulated a fortune that conservatively totals $1 billion, making him one of only a handful of entertainers to become a billionaire—and the 1st hip-hop artist to do so

two unlikely lunch partners sat down at the Hollywood Diner in Omaha, Nebraska. One, Warren Buffett, was a regular there. The other, Jay-Z, was not. The billionaire and the rapper ordered strawberry malts and chatted amiably, continuing the conversation back at Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway offices.

Buffett, then 80, walked away impressed with the artist 40 years his junior: “Jay is teaching in a lot bigger classroom than I’ll ever teach in. For a young person growing up, he’s the guy to learn from.” This moment, which was originally captured in our, made it clear that Jay-Z already had a blueprint for his own ten-figure fortune. “Hip-hop from the beginning has always been aspirational,” he said.

Less than a decade later, it’s clear that Jay-Z has accumulated a fortune that conservatively totals $1 billion, making him one of only a handful of entertainers to become a billionaire—and the first hip-hop artist to do so. Jay-Z's steadily growing kingdom is expansive, encompassing liquor, art, real estate and stakes in companies like Uber.

His journey is all the more impressive given its start: Brooklyn’s notorious Marcy housing projects. He was a drug dealer before becoming a musician, starting his own label, Roc-A-Fella Records, to release his 1996 debut,Crucially, he realized that he should build his own brands rather than promote someone else’s: the clothing line Rocawear, started in 1999 ; D’Ussé, a cognac he co-owns with Bacardi; and Tidal, a music-streaming service.

He definitely didn’t make it through hip hop! Stats and facts don’t lie!

Isn't kanye a billionaire?

Everyone forget Dre?

Congrats on success but much better buisness man than rapper

He SHOULD GIVE THANKS 2 BIG...AND BLESS HIS OFFSPRING....

Does no one know drdre was the first billionaire.

Marrying a black woman matters...BLACK GIRLS ROCK

Typical how much of that money is Beyoncé’s. or do they keep their fortunes separate?

MrCEOsays_ Congratulations, Uncle Sean! Can I have some?

i got next

So?

Determination and belief in the story you tell yourself is so important. JayZ is a living testament to that.

Had to come back to this 1 more time because this line always stuck with me, 'I'm not a rapper. I'm a hustler. It just so happens that I know how to rap. Okaaaaay....'

Who cares how much money jay z has..

Congratulations bro

Bunch of idiots with no $$ celebrating someone else rich

Bravo

I don't want to know what you had to do to get there, but congratulations. Maybe now you can start your own distribution company since you didn't want Irv, Dame, Suge Knight and J the Prince to. Congratulations though 🎊🎉

Congratulations! Would love to see JayZ and others use some of those billions like robertsmith and pay it forward 🤗 pay off some studentdebt studentloans or like LeBronJames and invest in our youth 🤗

Yes!!!! ❤️

This should motivate the whole culture!! If you aspire to do it, it can and will be done!!

The Blueprint for hustlers

This guy was always knocking on the doors of the Billionaire club welcome to the show Jay Z.

So what does this have to do with the day to day of a average black man?

Congrats, rich guy. 💲

Wow. Very impressive. Anything is possible if you work hard.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

What's better than one billionaire, 2? 'specially if they're the same hue as you - Jay Z Art by me

🐐

Good. Maybe now he’ll release his music on Spotify or Apple Music. It’s quite annoying it’s not. I’m not switching a whole service just for some Jay-Z

You CAN NOT become a BLACK BILLIONAIRE without selling your ENTIRE SOUL! 👎🏽 JayZ Beyonce sellout

The GOAT since ReasonableDoubt

It's crazy how KendallJenner beat him there. Yes, she had some help but Jay Z had 30 or 40 years of growth!

Half of everything he has is Beyoncé‘s? In today’s time for her not to be mentioned boggles my mind? Artist versus artist who sells more? jay overrated

And still couldn't take care of his fighter DanielTwitch ?

Jay-Z: I cannot even pay my rent and have a decent meal at the same time.

And just think, it all started with selling crack. Now that’s Great message for today’s youth. 🙄 Not to mention everything he’s done since the black album has been absolute shit. rap

That’s pretty impressive considering he’s not very good.

jayz made millions it to billions but damedash his main man had to shake down leedanielsent for money. u left beans in jail, but out here paying Meeks bail. he is a sell out. sorry the people that know his music cant afford to attend his shows it’s lonely at the top flash 🤐

That’s what the fuck I’m talking about ! Millionaires are broke 😩 B is where it’s at at !

Good job on a dark skin stealing that much money 😂

So Big L would've been a trillionaire?

Wh...w....why the fuck would someone be “thrilled” about a celebrities worth? This makes zero sense

blackenterprise Who beyond the hood cares? Does fortunes of Arab, Asian or European peeps get publicized with such fanfare. And if/when Mr. Carter begins to give to a HBCU like Hampton U as much as he consumes personally then that’ll equate with news philanthropy

Definitely one of the best entertainers/entrepreneurs in the the music industry hard work dedication JayZ the godfather ..

No, Dre did it first

Dr Dre...made that amount years ago..

Hasn’t he been had a billion

Instead of forbes saying Jay Z is the 3rd musician to be a Billionaire they frame it as the First Hip Hop artist,look at the framing of that. Think of ALL of the musicians in the WORLD Jay Z is the 2nd to be a BILLIONAIRE. 1) Andrew Lloyd Weber 2)Sir.Paul

Nothing more to say.... Respect JayZ Woof 🐶

Uh isnt Doctor Dre a billionaire?

Meanwhile he could’ve done it a lot quicker with lip kits💄

What about Dre?

Erm, dr dre? He’s a hip hop artist forbes need to do their research

Oh cool, one more disgustingly over wealthy tool that got rich off the backs of the underpaid workers who made him who he is. How exciting. I can barely contain my glee.

I can see Diddy reaction

Congratulations!! What a great accomplishment! I wish i could get that far!

Forbes allowed Trump to tell then how rich he was, so not a fan

Money for Nothing

Yet still lectures on how the middle/working class doesnt do enough to help poor communities..hes just another money hoarding P.O.S.,dont care how he got it,its more than he'll ever need

sarahhh_says_so And there are still millions of black people that don't vote. Their race has excelled at nearly everything except power in politics. Sad. MLK would be shocked.

Dr. Dre? He’s the first hip hop Billionaire. Wtf do some more research guys

Congrats Jay-Z from a longtime fan

Jay Z sucks. There. I said it.

That'll buy a lot of bedazzled jackets

Forbes is a fraud..... so many of your so called billionaires are not. People pay Forbes for their names to be mentioned.

That is remarkable. Congratulations to Jay-Z. That is truly a major accomplishment. Very inspiring to up and coming artist and inspiring and motivation to me. He worked hard for years. Luck had nothing to do with it 💐

No more stupid normal car doors for Jay Z

I don’t think dre would appreciate this...

Almost for certain drdre was 1st

Who's the wealthiest music artist?

You know that aoc and BernieSanders are pissed about all his money. If they get their way they'll take it all Jay!

Motherfu**ers act like they forgot about Dre

this is definition of self-made 👍🏻

The madness of absolute capitalism - a small minority have enormous wealth while vast numbers are blighted by mass poverty ... 2019 and the same enormous divisions of wealth and opportunities still exists ... some charities ask for a mere few pounds a month to help a child

He's no different than the Koch Brothers or Bezos or the Waltons. Greed has take over the country, like a cancer.

Oh THAT’S why Beyoncé took him back after all the cheating.

Same fans Hate white men for the same reasons they cheer him

Dr. Dre would like a word….

Damn and he called out Ye on a verse for giving him $20 mil? That’s like me calling out my sister for borrowing $20. 🤡

THIS is what a self made billionaire looks like. Congratulations!!🍾💰💰💰💰💰

Now that he is a billionaire does everyone hate him and demand he pay more taxes?

This is self made not some Kardashian, Forbes. Congrats to Jay Z, now do something with it.

Thought Dr. Dre was the first?

Token Negro symbolism.Steppin Fetchit was the highest paid Black actor too.

Its doesn't matter if they are Billionaires.. Jay-Z or Dr. Dre Because WhenTheySeeUs ..They still see animals and thugs to the point of dehumanization. Ask those 5 kids who were wrongly convicted of rape in 1989 during CentralPark5 trial. Netflix MondayMotivation

So now we know why Beyoncé stayed. Smdh

Can I borrow a tenner?

I think Vitalik is the richest entertainer out there.

People are forgetting that the billionaire statues is thanks to Beyonce contributions

Its ya Boy! Hovy Hov! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Where's ya help for the new generation?

He is not an artist.

I thought Dre was the first when he sold beatsbydre to Apple

He should wear a tag - “Beyonce made me”

Kylie why a billionaire first. And she's white. Does that bother his fans?

I doubt he has a billion. He has made other people billionaires but that’s about it. It does have a nice ring to it and makes him seem that more successful. However, it’s like fattening up a hog for slaughter.... watch

howlinrays whocares

Ya sound dumb talking bout dre right now

He used to sell drugs

That’s cool can we encourage him to pay off some student loans for some kids?

He needs to watch his back, they came for Michael Jackson when he reached that status

Gee, I wonder how he did that?

Black excellence, truly yours. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

BreakingBrown they really trying to push this 'strap up yo boot straps' mentality on us. & the ADOS people i talk to are really behind this notion that we doing ok.

Dr. Dre hit it first.

What I never got was ,Why people be arguing,fighting and debating over other peoples finance..u got right Now people fighting over who's richer,dre or jayz ,as if they both care about you.

😍

Not bad. Jay-Z has been in the business for a long time. Good for him.

I would liquidate everything give me my cash. And retire

Nobody cares !

🙌🏾

S_C_ 👏👏👏👏

I'm also thrilled for both he, and his wife, to see what they've achieved. They've earned it and deserve it.

He did it without any platinum hits? Fan base or entertainment?

Too bad about that haircut though 😣

He's a business, man.

Nipsey Hussle would have loved to see this I bet

I would love to be mentored by JayZ

how much of this is beyoncé money tho

The left vilifies some billionaires and celebrates others. Interesting.

Plus he's rattling Beyoncé,if that man don't die happy we've got no chance!

Congratulations JayZ Soooooooo proud of you, and the Family 😊👌🏾🙌🏾😘💕💕💕💕 Wishing continued success

This is the time you’re actually allowed to use the world “self-made” but you didn’t....

Amazing

wonder how many EX 'workmates' are shouting { show ME the Money} Rihanna clue _ YankcourtWin

people celebrating Jay-Z as a billionaire are the same ones voting for Bernie Sanders😂😂😂

🎉🎉

So is that with or without Beyoncé money? Just curious....

He did it.

Wasn’t Dr. Dre the first?

What about Dre? Seriously he did this years ago

If I gat to make it to a Billy I cant take the same route ... JayZ

Is that total a result of a combination of funds with Beyoncè or..?

FTM puppet..A fraud

Not bad for an overrated, violent, drug-dealing thug.

Congratulations S_C_ 🤑

Not only is this an inspiration but its GOALS and motivation knowing someone with the same upbringing path as you has made it to a Billy

Now stop being hypocrites. He and his wife need to give every cent to social justice causes instead of trying to force middle Class Americans to make all the sacrifices.

His biggest portion is from alcohol, wild! Nearly half of his fortune.

I guess since Apple bought Beats they Forgot about Dre. eminem

Dr Dre?

Blimey. And to think Dre and Cube made far better sounds.

Too bad he's a racist and a poor role model.

I thought people hated billionaires? Some shit about hoarding wealth or something. Or does that only apply to white billionaires? Lol

Just shows you - learning to be a musician in the traditional sense is a waste of time now. There’s no need. Just sample other artists and rap or sing over it. There’s a big enough back library of music to cut and chop forever. Get good at that and work on your image.

This article is a teachable moment on the power of investing, delayed gratification and much more. You don’t need millions in order to start investing you just need info to educate yourself on how.

I mean congrats but if Biggie was here... and like can I have a couple mil? S_C_.

Now it’s Kanye west turn

Not bad for a former drug dealer who also shot his own brother. America what a country.

Dre made 3 billion with one deal does no one even do a google search before they post these things

For most urban youths, a successful debut rap album can be a bridge out of poverty, but for a few, it is a road filled with jealousy, envy, and death. EscapeFromMarcy

Ever heard of Dr. Dre? Please hire some black women/men on your staff to make sure this type of misinformation and ignorance doesn’t get published.

If 2PAC and BIG aren’t gunned down, Jay-Z (DMX, Master P, etc.) doesn’t reach the same level of success. If Aaliyah doesn’t perish in a plane crash, Beyoncé doesn’t reach the same level of success. 🤙

RevJJackson Dr Dre?
