When Jay-Z isn’t rapping, he’s a canny businessman. He co-owns the New Jersey Nets and the 40/40 Club. Hova’s last album sold 680,000 copies in its first week. He co-founded Roc-A-Fella and when he sold the rights to Rocawear last month, Jay-Z netted $204 million. In short, Shawn Carter is a wealthy, wealthy man.
