Jay-Z Becomes Forbes’ Richest Hip-Hop Act Of 2018 With Estimated Net Worth Of $900 Million, Dethrones Diddy
So finally, Jay-Z has dethroned Diddy to become Forbes’ Richest Hip-Hop Act of 2018. Beyonce’s husband is that loaded with an estimated net worth of $900 million.
Sean “Diddy” Combs had held the No. 1 spot for seven consecutive years and is reportedly worth an impressive $825 million while Dr Dre comes third with $770 million. Fourth and fifth, Drake and Eminem were way behind the top three but each profited $100 million within the past year.
You might be wondering what business ventures helped Jay-Z’s financial wealth increase by $90 million from 2017. Well, Forbes says the 4:44 artist’s stakes in Armand de Brignac champagne and D’Ussé cognac have steadily risen in value, in addition to him owning Tidal and Roc Nation.
On his part, Diddy’s business with various spirit companies kept the money rolling in while Dr Dre benefited from Apple’s $3 billion buyout of his Beats company from 2014.
Beyonce was named 2017’s highest-paid woman in music with a $105 million salary.
