3 Ways Jay-Z Spends His Millions | TheRichest
Jay-Z is one of the most talented rappers, making his money in the most epic way possible, and spending it in a lavish, yet relatable, way.
Back when he was known by his original name, Shawn Corey Carter, he was still trying to make a career for himself. He is reported to have been earning a living by less-than-stellar means, as was the case for many in his neighborhood then, but Carter had his dream of becoming successful. When nobody agreed to offer a label to his record or give enough for an album, he took matters into his own hands. He launched his own recording company by the name of the 1996 Rockafellas Records.
What happened next is history. Def Jam Recordings bought Rockafellas Records from Jay-Z, the first half with $1.5million and the second with $10 million. By 2005 he became the CEO of Def Jam. Through one hit after another, today, Shawn Corey Carter has established himself as the legend Jay-Z. His net worth is estimated to be about $1.4 billion. He is also a renowned music composer, songwriter, businessperson, record executive, and record producer. The ways in which he spends his money are sure to make anyone nod in agreement.
3 An Expensive Array Of Cars
Like every billionaire, Jay-Z owns cars and private jets. He bought the Bombardier Challenger 850 jointly with Beyonce back in 2012. This private jet is almost a flying estate and can carry up to 16 passengers, offering them the experience of a lifetime. It even has a living room, kitchen, two bathrooms, and master bedrooms.
The 2005 manufactured Maybach Exelero is one of the most expensive cars Jay-Z owns. It cost him about $8 million, considered to be equivalent to the cost of two palatial mansions. But that is not all. There are more surprises.
Jay-Z also owns a Bugatti Veyron, valued at $2 million, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom priced at around $500,000. His list of luxury vehicles goes on - he also bought a Tesla Model S, but his most popular car is his Mercedes Benz Luxury Sprinter Limousine, one of the best limos worldwide. This $166,000 family limo is a luxury item with wifi connectivity, a fully furnished bathroom, and a stereo system.
2 A Collection Of Luxury Estates And Private Islands
Jay-Z purchased a luxurious penthouse in New York City for about $6.85 million. This estate is approximately 8,000 square feet broad. Even its terrace area expands over 3000 square feet. This penthouse is special to the couple because their 2008 wedding ceremony took place in this very space.
After the wedding, the insanely successful and wealthy couple bought a new estate in the Miami Beach compound. It came in a combination of 7 bedrooms and eight bathrooms, but the couple sold it later for around $9 million. They moved to their different lux property in New Orleans, which they had bought for $2.6 million.
Jay-Z also owns a private island that spans over 12.5 acres of land. He acquired this island for his wife on her 20th birthday. But this is not the only private island that he owns.
