Jay-Z: ~ $930 Million

You may know him as singing Beyoncé’s husband and the rapper and song writer Jay-Z, but Shawn Carter is actually so much more — a businessman, record executive and media proprietor. He founded Roc-A-Fella Records in 1995 and released his first album under his banner, the very next year. And even though he may have ’99 problems’ his large bank account and savings isn’t one! The Grammy-winning music artist is on his way to becoming a billionaire, surely, as his music and business empire is huge and growing, and besides he still earns big money by making his own music and producing records for other artists.
