hip-hop icon had a net worth of 1.4 billion he can buy just about anything his heart desires
from fancy watches to expensive hyper cars jay z and his wife beyonce own a fabulous 88 million
mansion in los angeles as well as an idyllic retreat in the hamptons

investments and wise business decisions he once owned a significant stake in the brooklyn nets and
there are reports that he may soon buy an nfl team here's a look at how jay-z spends his billions
jay-z reached billionaire status back in 2019 but this year he saw his net worth
rise 40 percent in a single day thanks to a deal with lvmh the luxury goods company bought a 50
stake in jay-z's champagne house armand brinyak aka ace of spades the champagne brand was worth
about 630 million dollars at the time which means jay-z pocketed at least 315 million dollars
it's deals like this that have made jay-z uber wealthy he has made at least 80 million dollars
per year over the last decade and he and his wife beyonce have a combined net worth of 1.8 billion
jay-z can buy whatever he wants his real estate portfolio is worth more than 100 million dollars
and his palatial pads are filled with luxurious amenities that make some five-star hotels look
like dingy motels his 2.6 million dollar mansion in new orleans is one of america's most unique
homes it was once a church but jay-z and beyonce converted it into a spacious and elegant 13 000
square foot vacation home the 7 bedroom 8 bathroom property dates all the way back to 1925 and has
a gorgeous living green roof filled with foliage the home's master suite has a large bathroom with
an antique bathtub as well as a massive walk-in closet where jay-z stores his stylish threads
even more impressive is the 26 million dollar retreat that the couple owns in the hamptons
lovingly referred to as the pond house the 12 000 square foot home has seven bedrooms seven
and a half bathrooms and a three-car garage the picturesque abode overlooks georgia capone which
means the sunsets are absolutely breathtaking the home's master suite has a private terrace french
stone fireplace and his and hers dressing rooms the historic 100 year old home is packed with
antiques but it also has many modern amenities including a screening room the crown jewel in
jay-z's real estate portfolio is undoubtedly his 88 million dollar bel air estate we wouldn't be
surprised if it had its own zip code it's that massive the 30 000 square foot mansion
was built using glass steel and the world's finest travertine marble every inch of the home was built
exactly to jay-z and beyonce's specifications the eight-bedroom 11-bathroom ultra-modern mansion has
bulletproof windows a rooftop infinity pool a spa and cinema bulletproof windows might seem out of
place but it's better to be safe than sorry you'll find a basketball court in three more pools on the
1.88 acre property jay-z can put on his kevin durant jersey and shoot hoops anytime he wants
jay-z's car collection is eclectic and expensive his entire collection is worth over 50 million
dollars and he owns some pieces that are more precious than diamonds his maybach exelero is
worth a staggering 8 million dollars it's a one-off concept car so it's no surprise the
price tag was so high jay-z famously used the exelero in the music video for his hit song
lost one which in our opinion makes the car even more valuable it's an absolute beast as it pumps
out 690 horsepower and can reach a top speed of 218 miles per hour it's not the only extremely
fast car in jay-z's garage his 1.4 million dollar pagani zonda f can go from zero to 60 in just 3.4
seconds and can reach a top speed of 214 miles per hour the 650 horsepower zone to f is so rare
that only 40 were ever produced billionaires really love bugattis and jay-z is no exception
he owns a 2 million bugatti veyron grand sport but here's the thing he didn't open his wallet
to purchase this beauty it was actually a birthday gift from beyonce and what a gift
it was because the veyron grand sport is one of the fastest cars in the world with a top speed
of 250 miles per hour what else would you expect from a hyper car with a 1 000 horsepower engine
jay-z has bought some nice gifts for beyonce over the years as well including a stunning 1 million
dollar rolls-royce silver cloud cars don't get much more classy than the silver cloud the classic
auto which was in production from 1955 to 1966 is quite rare there are only 2716 left in the wild
needless to say it's a white whale for many auto collectors speaking of vintage cars jay-z owns a
few of those himself his 150 000.57 chevy corvette c1 may not be the most expensive car in his garage
but it's stunning nonetheless the beautiful convertible is the perfect car for cruising down
the california coast the 4.6 liter v8 pumps out just 283 horsepower not that impressive now but
back in the 50s it was a powerhouse the c1 isn't the only classic convertible in jay-z's collection
he was spotted in italy with his pepe 1966 alpha romeo spider the classic car is worth
about 115 000 and jay-z and beyonce enjoyed driving the compact car through the italian
countryside you might be surprised to learn that jay-z is something of an art connoisseur he and
beyonce have an art collection that's worth at least 100 million dollars one of the rarest and
most valuable pieces is john michael biscay's mecca which is worth about 4.5 million dollars
how often do you see jay-z without an expensive timepiece on his wrist or a heavy gold chain
around his neck practically never his 200 000 custom-made gold chain might just be the most
iconic piece of jewelry in the hip-hop world the famous cuban chain weighs a mind-boggling
11 pounds it's flashy and garish but hey jay-z has earned the right to show off when jay-z wants
a more understated look he opts for a luxurious watch like this 2.2 million patek philippe brand
master chime 6300g he was spotted wearing the rare timepiece at diddy's 50th birthday party
the white gold watch sports a reversible case as well as two dials one black and one white a
million dollar party calls for a million dollar watch jay-z is so rich that he can afford to go
on a lavish trip anytime he wants when he flies he does so surrounded by opulence he and beyonce
own a private jet that's worth 40 million dollars their bombardier challenger 850 learjet comes in
handy when jay-z has to attend important business meetings with overseas investors beyonce actually
bought the plane as a father's day gift for jay-z in 2012 and it's certainly come in handy over the
years jay-z and beyonce don't own a yacht of their own but they have no problem spending millions to
run amazing super yachts they recently vacationed in the mediterranean aboard the 450 foot long
flying fox they charted the 67 foot wide super yacht at a cost of 4 million dollars per week
frankly this was a wise decision as buying the yacht would cost 400 million jay-z may be rich but
he's not that rich if your net worth is less than 10 billion a super yacht is out of the question
jay-z is financially savvy but it's not uncommon for him to blow obscene amounts of money on gifts
and parties in 2018 he spent 110 000 in a single night to celebrate the birthday of his close
friend and roc nation business partner juan og perez jay-z shelled out the cash for an epic
birthday celebration that consisted of 40 bottles of ace of spade champagne lobster steak and sushi
the food cost a mere 13 thousand dollars it was the booze that made the bill skyrocket jay-z and
beyonce wanted their daughter blue ivy to have a fabulous first birthday so they spent ninety five
thousand dollars on pink roses and two thousand four hundred dollars on a birthday cake the pair
also spent thirty thousand dollars on costumes and toys jz has been on a hot streak lately when it
comes to investing he owns a stake in companies like uber oatley and spacex he's very forward
thinking when it comes to investing and he's always looking for new trends he recently invested
20 million dollars to found jetsmarter which is essentially the uber of air travel there are also
rumblings that jay-z is on the lookout for an nfl team there are reports he's shown interest
in buying the denver broncos jay-z is no stranger to buying sports teams he used to be part owner of
the nets and was instrumental in moving the team from new jersey to brooklyn he purchased a small
stake in the nets in 2004 for one million dollars and then sold that stake in 2013 for 2.35 million
it was a tidy profit and a sign of things to come square recently purchased an 80 000
stake in jay-z's music streaming platform title the deal was reportedly worth 302 million
jay-z purchased the company in 2015 for just 56 million here's a fun fact do you know that
jay-z once rode the subway to a performance at the barclay center even took time to talk
to fellow passengers wow what a revelation one human talking to another call me crazy
isn't that happen every day jay-z was worth more than 500 million dollars at the time but he chose
to use his metro card instead of traveling in an expensive limo that's it folks thanks for watching
