Jay Z once said he’s not a businessman; he’s a business, man. As it turns out, his wife is a business too. Forbes calculated Hov and Beyonce’s combined fortune and found that the two are worth $1.16 billion. Yes, billion with a “B.”
The news comes just a week after Jay Z was featured in another edition of the Forbes Five list
of the wealthiest Hip Hop artists. The financial outlet estimated Jay
Z’s net worth to be $810 million. He surpassed Dr. Dre on the list for
the first time since 2014 but fell short of the top spot to Diddy. Puff
Daddy’s reign continued with a net worth of $820 million.
While Jay Z might be bringing in the big bucks, Beyonce is no slouch
herself. The multi-Grammy Award winner has a personal fortune of $350
million. She’s also using her wealth for good causes, such as setting up
the “Formation” scholarships
for young women who are studying creative arts, music, literature or
African-American studies at select colleges. In addition, Jay Z’s Shawn
Carter Foundation, a nonprofit organization he created with his mother,
recently partnered with eBay for Charity to help underprivileged youth
attend college, according to Billboard.
