From Mixtapes To Millions, These Rappers Broke Every Single Rule

Nas – $70 Million

Not every rapper makes money from rapping alone; some bet big on tech, and it pays off. Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, born September 14, 1973, did just that. Better known as Nas, he built a $70 million fortune through music and investments. He dropped “Illmatic” in 1994, an album critics still treat like holy scripture.

But here’s the twist—he also backed startups like Coinbase and Dropbox through his firm, QueensBridge Venture Partners. In 2023, he dropped “Magic 3” with Hit-Boy, proving he can still out-rap anyone half his age. Music, money, and smart moves? That’s a triple threat Wall Street wishes it had.
