From Mixtapes To Millions, These Rappers Broke Every Single Rule

Jay-Z – $2.5 Billion

Picture this: a kid from Brooklyn grows up to own champagne brands, cash out on cognac, and have a net worth of $2.5 billion. That’s the story of Shawn Corey Carter, born December 4, 1969. The world knows him as Jay-Z, but beyond the mic, he’s made power moves in tech, liquor, sports, and streaming.

Albums like “The Blueprint” and “The Black Album” made him a rap icon, while his 2023 deal selling part of D’Ussé to Bacardi brought in around $700 million. Toss in stakes in Uber and a Roc Nation partnership with the NFL, and it’s clear, this man didn’t follow the blueprint; he “is” the blueprint.
