Jay-Z Dethrones Diddy As World’s Richest Hip-Hop Star

Jay-Z has dethroned Diddy as the world’s richest hip-hop act.

Combs has held Forbes’ top spot for years, thanks in part to his vodka line Ciroc.

But Jay-Z has hit No. 1 with an estimated worth of $900 million, thanks to his booze brands Armand de Brignac and D’Ussé, as well as investments in streaming service Tidal and his Roc Nation label.

Meanwhile, Jay-Z’s wife, Beyoncé, holds the title of highest-paid woman in music. But don’t feel too bad for Diddy, who came in with a mere $825 million. After Diddy on the list came Dr. Dre and Drake.
