Forbes<\/em> breakdown indicated that the rapper\u2019s chief source of wealth is his $300-a-bottle Armand de Brignac champagne brand (at $310 million), but also boasts investments at well over $200 million (including a large stake in Uber).<\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forbes<\/em> said that the reason Jay-Z\u2019s wealth went all up on the table due to his new business interest in alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
