According to the breakdown by Forbe’s, the rapper’s chief source of wealth is his $300-a-bottle Armand de Brignac champagne brand (at $310 million), but also boasts of investments at well over $200 million (including a large stake in Uber).

Jay-z’s wealth also sky rocketted when he developed interest in alcohol business.

Tidal, his streaming service, also allegedly supplies about $100 million of his net worth, just behind his cognac D’Ussé.
