Jay-Z Crowned World’s Richest Musician With $2.5 Billion Net Worth — Forbes
American rapper and entrepreneur Sean “Jay-Z” Carter has been named the world’s richest musician, according to Forbes, with an estimated net worth of $2.5 billion.
Jay-Z’s wealth extends far beyond music, built on stakes in Roc Nation, his global entertainment company, luxury champagne brand Armand de Brignac, and premium cognac label D’Ussé. He has also cashed in from the sale of his music streaming platform Tidal and the Rocawear fashion line.
His investment portfolio stretches across real estate, hospitality, technology, and startups, cementing his status as one of entertainment’s most successful business figures.
Meanwhile, Forbes lists Taylor Swift as the richest female musician, with a net worth of $1.6 billion. Unlike Jay-Z, Swift’s fortune comes almost entirely from her music and record-breaking tours, making her one of the few artists to achieve billionaire status primarily through artistry.
