3. Jay-Z
Hov, Jigga, or Jay-Z... No matter what you know him as, you do know him. With over 50 million records sold, an incredible 17 Grammys won and a net worth of 500 million, Jay-Z is one of the most successful hip-hop artists and entrepreneurs. Plus he married Beyonce. In other words, the dude is a legend. His early work is consistently ranked in the top albums of all time and every single studio album has reached platinum, with a record 13 reaching number one on the Billboard charts. Jay-Z's empire knows no bounds as he owns or co-owns Tidal, the 40/40 Club, Roc-A-Fella Records, Roc Nation and at one point, the Brooklyn Nets.
