If Arrive can improve his branding expertise and promotional influence, it could help him make an even bigger impact in the business world. Needless to say, even though JAY Z and Roc Nation have picked up some promising startups, he will need more acquisitions and possibly IPOs to enclose his earning. Not only is he the owner and/or founder of several successful companies, he also holds a diverse investment portfolio: UBER (he purchased stakes in 2011 when they were worth 200 times less than they are today), Stance, JetSmarter and more. JAY Z is currently the third wealthiest rap artist at an estimated net worth of $610 million USD, behind Diddy and Dr. At the same time, JAY’s business decisions have also contributed to disputes and fallouts with a number of close friends and collaborators. Hov helped kickstart and propel the careers of other to-be stars like Kanye West, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and more. JAY was a calculated opportunist and a forward-thinker many music or business moves he made put him in financially favorable circumstances. Within a short few years, Jigga went from being a locally-known up-and-comer to a nationally-celebrated rap star. Jigga started his music career by selling CDs out of his car, then subsequently co-launched Roc-A-Fella Records as an independent label (because at the time no major was willing to sign him). The rap mogul has lived by the “going all out” motto his entire life. This should come as no surprise to any fan of JAY’s.
