Jay Z is considered one of the most successful musicians in the world. Forbes recently updated the 53-year-old rapper and reported that the artist’s personal fortune has increased to $2.5 billion.

The rapper’s massive fortune was fueled by the recent sale of his 50 percent stake in luxury cognac brand D’Ussé, which netted him $750 million, according to Tmz.

Also, according to Forbes magazine, in 2019, Beyoncé’s husband was recognized as the first billionaire hip-hop artist. And over the next four years, he was able to more than double his fortune.

Now Jay Z is considered the richest rapper in the world. And in the Forbes list, he is on the 1210th line.
