Popular rapper, Jay-Z is officially the first person in hip-hop to become a billionaire.
According to the latest rankings by Forbes, Jay-Z has joined the billionaire gang with his estimated wealth climbing the $1B mark, making him the first hip-hop artist to attain such position.
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.
“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,” Forbes’ Zack O’Malley Greenburg writes.
