JAY Z BIG SPENDER! Inside the billionaire lifestyle of Jay-Z who has £91m mansions, spends £78k on boozy nights out and splashed £191k on a gold chain necklace
HE WAS famously raised in a poverty-stricken New York ghetto and turned to rap to escape a life of drugs and violence.
And this week, Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, has become the first billionaire in hip hop after striking gold with investments in music, property, fashion and tech.
According to a new report released by Forbes, Jay-Z has taken the crown as the world’s richest rapper following a two-year battle with P Diddy in the race to accumulate their first billion.
The rise in fortune of the 49-year-old husband of Beyonce is all the more impressive given his deprived start in life.

In the ultimate rag-to-riches tale, it was music that helped propel him out a dire situation, and he went from selling CDs from his car to founding the hugely successful Roc-A-Fella Records in 1995, selling over 100m records and nabbing 22 Grammy Awards.
