We mentioned his wife, and now let’s talk about the man himself: Jay-Z. Shawn Carter is the richest rapper of all time with an estimated net worth of $900 million. He’s also had the most number-one hits on the Billboard 200 and the first rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters HOF. In the early stages of his career, Jay-Z was unable to find a record to sign him, so he built his own empire, Roc-A-Fella Records, and it’s clear that he did not make a mistake by paving his own path.
