Jay-Z’s fortune was as a result of him investing in music with the release of services such as Tidal and Roc Nation.  

This, however, is not the sole revenue stream for the 22 Grammy-award winner. According to Forbes, the music mogul owes his 1 billion dollar peak to other ventures such as real estate, art, and shares in global brands such as Uber.
