Jay Z Passes Diddy On His Way To Becoming a Billionaire



Year to year, the Forbes Five, which ranks hip-hop’s wealthiest artists, doesn’t really change. But on Thursday, when the magazine released its 2018 list, there was a noticeable difference: Jay Z beat Diddy. Diddy’s been number one on the list since Forbes began measuring rappers’ net worth in 2011.

For ’18, Jay Z’s net worth leapt from $810 million to $900 million, in large part due to the growing values of his investment in Armand de Brignac champagne and D’Ussé cognac. Last year’s Forbes list for America’s Wealthiest Self-Made Women put Beyoncé at $350 mill, making headlines for pushing the Carters into the billionaire club with $1.16 B’s. (The website Celebrity Net Worth says Queen B’s worth $500 million.)

Diddy aka Love comes in at No. 2 with $825 million. His fortune has received a slight bump due to lukewarm trends in the vodka and cable TV markets, which impact his stakes in Ciroc and Revolt. But he’s seen considerable growth with DeLeon tequila—a collaboration between himself and beverage king Diageo—which has increased his net worth.

  3. Your an imbecile if you think this man became a billionaire solely based on hard work ethic. To all you Jay-Z bandwagoneers just know this: You can't get that rich in this world without giving something up. The devil won't allow it!

  4. Funny how they preach love for the community and for black brothers and sisters but only do little to none donations and don't help building businesses, but when they got something to sell it is always "support a black brother"

  5. How is em still making money? I know he just dropped an album but i’ve never heard anyone talk about it. Does he have other businesses I just don’t know about?
