About Me

Since becoming hip-hop's first billionaire in 2019, Jay-Z has more than doubled his fortune thanks to his lucrative liquor businesses. He sold 50% of spirits brand Armand de Brignac, otherwise known as Ace of Spades, to luxury goods giant LVMH in 2021, and sold a majority of his stake in cognac brand D'Usse to Bacardi in 2023. He is also chairman and cofounder of entertainment company Roc Nation, and has stakes in music streaming giant Tidal and the 40/40 Club sports bar. His other assets range from a fine art collection including works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, his music catalog and shares in companies like Block and Uber. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2021, and has won two Emmys for Super Bowl halftime shows in 2022 and 2023.
