Jay-Z upped his net worth from $810 million to $900 million over the past year, seizing the top of the list for the first time since Forbes started counting back in 2011. Jay’s jump is due mostly to the rising value of his interests in Armand de Brignac champagne and D’Ussé cognac, on top of nine-figure ownership stakes in his Roc Nation empire and Tidal streaming service.
Jay-Z, Diddy and Dre are not only the wealthiest hip-hop acts on the planet, but the richest American musicians of any genre.
