Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter First Hip-Hop Billionaire By Net Worth

[Combat Talk Radio]

While Dr. Dre claimed he was the first hip-hop artist to make at least a billion dollars, his net worth for some reason ended up under a billion dollars (Thanks Tyrese...?)

The rapper born Shawn Carter, who grew up in one of Brooklyn's most notorious housing projects, "has accumulated a fortune that conservatively totals $1 billion, making him one of only a handful of entertainers to become a billionaire -- and the first hip-hop artist to do so," the ****zine said in a new cover story.
