(News) Jay Z takes Diddy’s Title for World’s Richest Hip-Hop Star

Forbes magazine has listed Jay Z as the highest earning hip-hop artist of 2018. This pushed Sean “Diddy” Combs to #2 on the chart even though he has been #1 in the game for the past 7 years. Forbes reported that Jay Z has a net worth of $900 million and has advanced his worth by $90 million in the past 12 months vs. Diddy’s $825 million net worth. According to Forbes, Jay Z’s rise has come from his interests in Armand de Brignac champagne and D’Ussé cognac, as well as ownership stakes in Roc Nation and his Tidal music streaming service.
