Rap royalty hit the high seas.

When Jay-Z and Beyoncé choose to vacation aboard a 450-foot-long superyacht that costs $6 million AUD per week to charter, it’s a whole different level of luxury.

Everyone who’s anyone has a massive superyacht at their disposal: from Jeff Bezos’s brand-new $700 million vessel to Putin’s gold-plated gargantuan, these superyachts are about the most luxurious and most private getaway spot available for A-list celebs.

That’s why the power couple consisting of rapper Jay-Z and pop superstar Beyonce are currently aboard the record-breakingly-expensive Flying Fox , sailing around Europe in style. However, unlike their aforementioned counterparts, they can boast spending this particular holiday on the world’s most expensive charter yacht.

Suffice to say, it takes luxury to a whole new level…

WATCH: Here’s Jeff Bezos’ new yacht, for your comparison…

A Floating Paradise

The Flying Fox leaves no stone unturned when it comes to pampering its guests, boasting a multitude of lavish amenities. According to Superyacht Charter , these include:

• A spacious pool on the main deck for a refreshing dip.
• A state-of-the-art cinema for movie enthusiasts.
• Elevators for easy access between decks.
• Two helipads capable of accommodating the largest helicopters on the market.
• A large beach area and swim platforms, providing ample space for leisure and water activities.
• A two-deck spa, complete with a gym, sauna, hammam, and massage area for ultimate relaxation.
• A hospital and decompression chamber for added safety and convenience.

Designed by Espen Øino International and built by Lurssen Yachts, the Flying Fox boasts a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, powered by advanced MTU engines. With a maximum speed of 20 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 10 knots, it offers both performance and comfort, as reported by Supercar Blondie .

The Ultimate Retreat

The Flying Fox can accommodate up to 22 guests and is supported by a crew of 54. Interestingly, the true owner of the Flying Fox remains a closely guarded secret, adding a further (and not much-needed) air of exclusivity to this exceptional vessel.

So, whether you’re in the mood for a relaxing spa day, a cinematic experience, or a refreshing swim, the Flying Fox has it all. A testament to Lurssen’s dedication to detail and their commitment to creating some of the most impressive yachts in the world, you can see why this was the power couple’s vacation vessel of choice.

If you’re looking to vacation like a superstar and indulge in the epitome of luxury, we recommend a casual daydream about this yacht like no other. Unless, of course, you’ve actually got the funds required to take it for a spin. In that instance, we recommend booking immediately…

Take a Look Inside Beyonce and Jay Z’s $70 million Yacht

• Luxury Yachts & Boats

Take a look inside Beyonce and Jay Z’s $70 million yacht!

They are a power couple like no other, we love them and they love each other. This couple has always showed us how much money they have and how much they love each other, by the presents they receive.

And this time is no different. It is believed that for Beyonce’s 32 nd birthday, her husband, the rapper Jay Z bought her a US$70 million superyacht. That tops the list of the expensive things Beyonce owns .

They have been photographed by the paparazzi celebrating aboard the 213-ft Galactica Star yacht.

Because it might have been a gift, this yacht is one of the best, and has given the title of the world’s largest fast displacement yacht at the time of its launch in 2013.

It was titled the largest fast displacement because it has the ability to combine low resistance with high performance and fuel efficiency throughout the full speed range.

It can almost go with 30 knots while burning 30% less fuel than a craft of the same size.

Galactica Star yacht has been built by Heesen in the Netherlands and had its interior designed by London-based firm Bannenberg & Rowell.

It is not in vain called a superyacht, because it features lots of outdoor space, including a sundeck, a duplex beach club covering 25% of the main and lower decks, and a touch-and-go helipad on the foredeck.

Because we are here talking about one of the richest couples in the world , the yacht must have come with a helipad. Plus, it also has several World Superyacht Awards.

The yacht is kitted out with everything you could need at sea, catering especially for warmer climates where the guests can relax in the sun.

Beyonce and Jay Z can take up to 12 guests with them, and accommodate them in custom-built staterooms, including a full-beam master suite with private balcony and a VIP suite on the upper deck.

Let’s not count the crew of 13 to service all the guests, and the swimming pool, sauna or on-deck Jacuzzi.

The Galactica Star, which is priced at an estimated US$70 million, is not on the books as a charter vessel, so some people say that Jay Z may have dropped big money to make it his.

No doubt he negotiated a good price, and by chartering it out when not in use he may even turn a profit.

Before Jay Z bought it, the yacht belonged to Nigerian energy business magnate Kola Aluko, but in September, he sold it to the couple.

Apparently you can also rent this yacht, if you have US$900,000/ week and must be a personal connection to Kola Aluko or someone famous.

The control room is state of the art, featuring large touch-screen displays that can be used to drive the yacht for over 4,500 nautical miles on a single tank of fuel.

At night, the ship becomes beautifully lit and is the perfect location for hosting parties.

The modern and forward-looking design includes a lot of glass, helping to keep the space airy and light.

What do you say about their boat? Looks awesome enough for the couple?

Take a peek inside Jay-Z and Beyoncé's €3 million luxury vacation aboard 136m FLYING FOX

By Nina Done   16 September 2021

Star couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé eschewed the Illustrious Met Gala to celebrate her 40th birthday in supreme style onboard the largest and most expensive charter yacht in the world, the 136m/446ft Lurssen megayacht FLYING FOX for a luxury vacation in the Mediterranean. 

Beyoncé recently shared images of her family enjoying their vacation onboard this iconic superyacht, which certainly enjoys a star power of its own, boasting a huge array of spectacular amenities across 6 vast decks.

The yacht's graceful exterior curves are penned by the renowned Espen Øino, whilst her interiors are the brainchild of Mark Berryman Design.

Her interiors showcase a contemporary minimalist vibe, with influences from Japanese culture which follow through into her stunning accommodation areas.

She sleeps up to a whopping 25 guests on charter in 10 gorgeous suites, including an impressive upper deck Owner's apartment featuring a his and hers dressing room leading to a large bathroom with an oval stone tub, as well as a 105m² cabin with adjacent work spaces, saloon and dining area, topped off by a wraparound private terrace with spa pool and sunpads.

Superlative onboard amenities

It's hard not to get excited when talking about FLYING FOX's unbelievable features. The jewel in the crown has to be her 400m² multi-level wellness centre offering guests everything from a spa pool which turns from hot to ice cold in minutes – ideal for plunging into after a steamy session in the Hammam, a beauty therapy treatment room with all the latest gadgets for sublime facials and massages, a full-blown dive centre with air nitrox and onboard decompression chamber, to a cryo-sauna where guests can reinvigorate tired muscles at an icy -110 degrees.

Additional onboard highlights include a vast adjustable height 12-meter swimming pool with jets, two certified helipads, with one doubling as a dance floor with a DJ booth located in the mast alcove, soundproof movie theatre, fully-equipped gymnasium and glorious double-height mezzanine-style main salon.

Her waterside level beach club provides access to a vast 22.5m swim platform, providing the perfect base for launching the yacht's veritable armada of toys, from seabobs to flyboards.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s entourage would certainly be dwarfed by the yacht's highly-professional crew of 55, all of whom are trained for multiple roles in order to staff the various amenities found onboard, including the yacht's very own hospital wing.

Yacht rentals in the Mediterranean

Offering an endless variety of alluring destinations, the glittering Mediterranean is a yacht charter's paradise, where idyllic lush island clusters are often only a champagne cork's pop away from glamorous yacht clubs and Michelin-starred restaurants. Promising memorable vacations whatever destination you decide on, the Mediterranean is a world-class of its own.

They're traveling around the mediterranean aboard the ultra-luxurious 'flying fox' yacht..

While eager fashion fans were disappointed they didn’t get to see Beyoncé at the Met Gala on Monday, September 13 , the Grammy Award-winning musician was already quite busy that day, as she’s in the midst of a lavish 40th birthday celebration in Europe.. Beyoncé, who turned the big 4-0 on September 4, and Jay-Z have been living their best vacation lives aboard an absolutely massive megayacht, sailing around the Mediterranean .

Beyoncé, Jay-Z and their three children (Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir) are currently aboard the Flying Fox , a 450-foot-long yacht was costs approximately $4 million a week to charter, according to Forbes . The palatial yacht, which cost a reported $400 million to build, has been rumored to belong to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos , though other reports claim the tech billionaire isn’t the owner.

No matter who owns the lavish yacht, it’s currently occupied by Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who have been traveling around Italy and France; they were spotted in Cannes earlier this week, where they were joined by Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, and dined at La Geurite, before heading to Portofino . Beyoncé has shared plenty of photos of the family’s European jaunt on her Instagram, including a snap where her youngest daughter, Rumi, makes a cameo.

The sprawling 67-foot-wide yacht does make for a rather picturesque Instagram aesthetic. The Flying Fox contains 10 bedroom suites, and can accommodate up to 25 guests as well as 55 crew members. The decor features lots of marble, limestone and cream leather, as well as rattan and coconut shell details, per Boat International .

The plush spa has oak paneling and heated limestone floors, and is equipped with a hammam, sauna and a massive pool, plus a cryosauna. There’s also a fancy gym, movie theater, a formal living room as well as a dining room with an aquarium. The owner’s suite has its own sitting room, beauty room and double dressing rooms, in addition to an ethanol fireplace.

There are no less than six decks, including a helipad perched on the very top. There’s also a DJ alcove, for whenever the guests might want to transform the aforementioned helipad into a dance floor.

Even though Beyoncé didn’t make an appearance at the Met Gala, she’s still making a true fashion statement with plenty of stylish vacation looks. And while she might not have stood on the red (well, beige) carpet, a $400 million yacht might be an even better backdrop than those famous Met steps.

This is the kind of "hard knock life" we can all get behind.

Singer abruptly walked off 'Today' gig over dressing room

Kelly Rowland was just not destined to guest host the "Today" show.

According to a new report, the former Destiny's Child singer was set to fill in for Jenna Bush Hager in the fourth hour of "Today" on Feb. 15, 2024, but she instead walked off the set because she was unhappy with her dressing room, Page Six reported. Kelly's abrupt departure left "Today" in a bind, as producers scrambled to find a last-minute replacement.

Kelly Rowland appeared on "Today" as a guest in the 8 a.m. hour to promote her Tyler Perry-produced Netflix movie "Mea Culpa." (She stars in the film, which she also produced.) She was also set to guest host the fourth hour of the show with Hoda Kotb. However, Kelly decided to pull the plug on the hosting gig because she and her team were displeased with her dressing room — Team Kelly apparently wanted the bigger dressing room Jennifer Lopez was occupying at that moment. 

"Kelly and her team were not happy. They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving Hoda without a guest host for the 10 a.m. hour," a source told Page Six.

Kelly Rowland's sudden exit stunned "Today" show producers.

"She's beloved at 'Today.' She was getting the full hour, and Hoda's the biggest hype woman on the planet! It made no sense," a source said, adding that Kelly and her team were playing a game of "musical dressing rooms." The Destiny's Child singer "didn't like the one she was in."

"Today" dressing rooms are known to be some of the smallest in the business, and Page Six's source even compared them to "glorified closets."

"They're not nice. It's the oldest building. There are major space limitations, [it's] not glamorous. It's not fresh flowers and candles and gourmet food. It's basically [a] white box," the insider said.

It seems that Kelly Rowland was offered multiple dressing room options, including a large utility makeup and hair area.

"They didn't want that. [The show] basically offered up as much as possible, but they weren't happy with it, so they walked and they left," the Page Six source said.

Amid the drama, singer Rita Ora volunteered to step in. The "For You" singer took over the spot intended for Kelly Rowland — and delivered a flawless performance!

Congressman sinks impeachment bid after casting vote from wheelchair, plus more reactions

A vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed in the House of Representatives after some unanticipated dramatics. Due to the hospitalization of Democratic Rep. Al Green, Republicans believed they had the votes to impeach the cabinet member. However, the Texas congressman stunned his colleagues after rushing back following abdominal surgery to vote "no," all while sitting in a wheelchair and wearing hospital scrubs. The vote failed 216-214. Four Republicans joined the Democrats in their "no" votes, but one of those votes was done as a procedural matter so that the vote can be brought up again.

Following the House drama and the unsuccessful vote, many in the House chambers reacted. From his hospital bed, Al Green, himself, told The New York Times, "I was determined to cast the vote long before — I had no idea how close it was going to be. I didn't come assuming that my vote was going to make a difference. I came because it was personal." 

Keep clicking to see how others in Congress are reacting….

"The sham impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas was demanded by Donald Trump and is being led by Marjorie Taylor Greene. What does this have to do with fixing the challenges at the border? Absolutely nothing." —Rep. Hakeem Jeffries via CNN

"There was a motion to recommit. That means that we can bring the Articles of Impeachment back to the floor maybe as early as next week. So, this is not over yet." —Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

"Welcome to another week of Impeachment Unlimited. Having no legislative accomplishments to show for their 14 months in power, Republicans are voting on yet another pointless resolution. These are not serious people." —Rep. Adam Schiff

"Last night was a setback but democracy is messy. We live in a time of divided government. We have a razor-thin margin here and every vote counts. Sometimes when people show up when they're not expected to be in the building it changes the equation. We have a duty and a responsibility to take care of this issue…We will pass those articles of impeachment. We'll do it on the next time round." —House Speaker Mike Johnson

"Wouldn't it have been nice to still have Kevin McCarthy in the House? Never thought you'd hear me say that. But McCarthy after being dislodged as speaker took his marbles and went home, he would have been a reliable vote for impeachment, but if we wasn't speaker, he wasn't willing to stick around…  the abject selfishness of Kevin McCarthy contributed to this result" —Rep. Matt Gaetz via Newsmax

"This is a not a high crime or misdemeanor. This is not an impeachable offense. This is a policy difference … it's wrong, and we should not set this precedent." —Rep. Ken Buck

"The Trump-Putin-maga faction, headed up by the distinguished gentlelady from Georgia, has been given this worthless trinket on a consolation prize, the opportunity to bring a slapstick impeachment drive against a cabinet member of unimpeachable integrity who has obviously committed no treason, no bribery, no high crimes, not misdemeanors, nothing indictable or even in-dict-able, if you prefer." —Rep. Jamie Raskin

"Secretary Mayorkas is guilty of maladministration of our immigration laws on a cosmic scale. But we KNOW that's not grounds for impeachment, because the American Founders specifically rejected it." —Rep. Tom McClintock

"This is insanity! We are on the floor! MAGA Mike is upset he can't deliver for daddy Trump and holding us on the floor where the vote is tied 215-215 which means the BS impeachment fails!" –Rep. Jasmine Crockett

"When you have no record of accomplishment to run on, nothing on education, nothing on health care, nothing about creating jobs, nothing on the environment, nothing about keeping people safe, this is what you do. You put on a circus. And that's why we're here today" –Rep. Joaquin Castro

"Welcome to the Marjorie Taylor Greene impeachment show. She has been leading these efforts to impeach Secretary Mayorkas and the President, all to help Donald Trump's campaign. Her insanity must be stopped." —Rep. Robert Garcia

"With a tight majority these things happen. Still doesn't mean I'm not annoyed and deeply disappointed and angry. But I do think he will be impeached within the next month or two." —Rep. Pat Fallon via the Texas Tribune

"The impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas was nothing but a baseless, political ploy to help Donald Trump in the 2024 Election. Tonight, we defeated this sham impeachment and protected the rule of law, the solemn power of impeachment, and our Constitution." —Rep Dan Goldman

Oscar winner and long-term partner 'exchanged vows' for their three kids before he died following a secret years-long battle with ALS: Report

Sandra Bullock and longtime partner Bryan Randall were every bit a husband-wife team despite not being legally married. In fact, they were so committed that they reportedly "exchanged vows" in 2017.

On Aug. 8, DailyMail.com published a video of the couple dancing on the beach in the Bahamas allegedly following an intimate ceremony during which they exchanged vows.

"They really did this for the children, to kind of seal the deal and show them this was a forever thing. After the ceremony [Sandra's kids] Louis and Laila started calling Bryan dad," a source shared. 

The Academy Award-winning actress and began dating the model-turned-photographer in 2015 after they met when he photographed her son's birthday party. Although Sandra has spoken publicly about never wanting to marry again, she called Bryan "the love of my life" on a 2021 episode of "Red Table Talk."

"We share two beautiful children — three children, [including Bryan's] older daughter. It's the best thing ever," she said. At the time, she didn't reference his health issues. 

Bryan passed away on Aug. 5 following a secret three-year battle with ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. He was 57.

While Sandra's sister said the actress was there until the end, an insider told DailyMail.com that Bryan's illness did strain their relationship. But they were "more together than ever" at the time of his death, the insider added. Sandra also arranged and paid for his around-the-clock care. 

Interestingly, split rumors had surrounded the couple for the better part of a year, largely due to the fact they hadn't been seen together in public for a while. That speculation actually helped them keep his health battle private. 

"Sandra kept Bryan hidden away in the back of the house. It's so big that you could conceal what was going on with him but towards the end she really didn't let people into the home beyond the doctors and nurses who were looking after him," the insider said. "It was quite convenient for them to have these rumors that they'd broken up because it helped conceal what was really going on. It was easier to let people assume they hadn't seen him because they were no longer together."

A separate source noted, "The relationship was absolutely strained by it, and it was really hard for the children. He had been living in one of her Malibu properties for a while just because it was nicer for him to be there, by the ocean, and I think some people assumed they had split because it looked like they were living separately, but there weren't. She'd have the house stocked up with everything he needed, and his nurses would go there."

According to a statement from Bryan's family released after his death, "Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request." The statement continued, "We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours. At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan." The statement was signed by, "His Loving Family."

Yadira Calito — who nannied Katharine McPhee and David Foster's son — died in a freak accident after she was run over by an SUV at a car dealership in the Los Angeles area.

According to reports, an unnamed 84-year-old woman went to a San Fernando Valley car dealership on Aug. 11 to get her Toyota RAV4 serviced. She then somehow hit the gas pedal rather than the brakes, launching her vehicle from the service bay driveway into the customer reception area.

Yadira, who was at the dealership, suddenly found herself pinned under the car and was dragged for about 20 feet, TMZ reported. Kat and David's nanny was eventually freed from under the car and, according to DailyMail.com , an off-duty nurse started performing CPR on her before emergency services arrived. 

The nanny to Kat and David's 2-year-old son, Rennie, was eventually transported to a hospital in critical condition but later died. 

Two men working at the dealership were also injured in the shocking incident, but their injuries were not life-threatening. The driver of the car stayed on site to answer authorities' questions and declined to be taken to the hospital. She was not arrested.

Images from the crash — which occurred around 9 a.m. — show the white SUV parked among shattered glass. 

Upon learning about Yadira's injuries and death Katharine — who found fame as a runner-up on "American Idol" in 2006 — canceled two shows in Asia, where she was touring with her Grammy-winning husband. 

"Dearest Jakarta fans, it's with heavy heart I announce I have to miss our final two shows of our Asia run," she  wrote on Instagram  on Aug. 11 without providing further details. "David and I have had a horrible tragedy in our family and at least one of us need to get back home to our family." 

She added, "Please know how sorry I am and how much I wish to return one day and perform for you all. Love Katharine." 

The songstress flew back to Los Angeles the same day. TMZ reported that the superstar couple considered Yadira "family." After several celebrity friends, including David's ex-wife Linda Thompson, commented with well wishes, Kat disabled the comments section of her Instagram.

On Aug. 17, the car dealership, Hamer Toyota, issued a statement about what happened. "We extend our deepest condolences to Yadira's family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. The loss of such a vibrant life in such tragic circumstances is a heavy burden to bear, and we share in their grief," the dealership's director of communications told Us Weekly. 

"At Hamer Toyota, we take the safety of our customers and our community very seriously. We are fully cooperating with the Los Angeles Police Department as they conduct their investigation into this unfortunate event," the spokesperson added. "Our commitment is to ensure transparency, assist the LAPD in every possible way, and to learn from this incident so we can prevent such tragedies in the future. In these moments of profound sadness, we ask our community to join us in remembering Yadira and extending our collective support to her loved ones."

Viral tanning salon mom reveals why she's running for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida as a Republican

Remember "Tan Mom"? In 2012, she went viral after she took her 5-year-old daughter to a New Jersey tanning salon. Now the pop culture personality — whose real name is Patricia Krentcil — is running for office.

On Jan. 15, 2023, Patricia filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida,  TMZ  confirmed. She's challenging incumbent GOP senator Rick Scott in the 2024 election — and she's running as a Republican despite not exactly following the party line on multiple issues, especially amid a controversy-filled political climate in Florida, where she now calls Boca Raton home.

Patricia spoke to "TMZ Live" to explain why she's running, explaining that she's not a fan of some of Republican governor Ron DeSantis's controversial policies and thinks others in her party feel the same way.

"I was blessed and was able to be a part of raising money for the Sunshine Cathedral in Florida. I saw the amazing work they had done and it really impressed me," Patricia told TMZ, referring to the Ft. Lauderdale church with a ministry based in progressive Christianity that has a constituency of same-gender and gender non-conforming people and prides itself on being a safe and open community for LGBTQ+ people to worship.

Patricia also said she's concerned about the banning of books in her new home state. "I was horrified about the book banning [in schools] in Florida … just a lot of the episodes that are going on here," she told TMZ. "And nobody is addressing them."

She also said Medicaid was an issue for her, as she believes it's "just being abominably banished for the elderly especially. That's three reasons I started doing this," she added of what sparked her interest in going to Washington.

During their chat, TMZ founder Harvey Levin pointed out that Patricia's positions make her sound more like a Democrat than a Republican. But according to her, she's running as  Republican because "I've always been a Republican and my feeling and my issues may sound more Democratic but I am a Republican through and through," she insisted.

"I'm trying to embrace it for people who realize the situation at hand, more today than it ever was, and maybe if I sound more like a Republican, Republicans need to take this not for granted," she continued.

She's hoping people will see her in a new light. "I don't want to be known as what I was as 'Tan Mom.' I've grown and I'm here to help and want to help people that are struggling," she said. "And maybe more Republicans should have a different taste in their mouth when they're trying to help people in the world today."

Patricia further told TMZ, "I know that I am different. And I have suffered for it. But us all being different is what makes this country so amazing and unique."

According to the New York Post , her candidacy comes as she's starring in the TV docuseries "Tan to 10," which chronicles her efforts to stop tanning and change her life. Patricia – who went to rehab for alcohol addiction in 2013 – named her producers Gregg Maliff and Adam Barta as her campaign managers.

Princess of Pop and actor-trainer husband of 14 months are divorcing

Britney Spears and her husband of 14 months, Sam Asghari, are divorcing.

TMZ reported on Aug. 16 that the duo separated the previous week after a "nuclear argument" during which Sam confronted her over unconfirmed rumors that she'd been unfaithful . 

"It's only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce," a source shared.

Sam filed for divorce later the same day, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split and listing July 28 as their date of separation. In court documents, he's asking for spousal support and attorneys fees.

The writing was seemingly on the wall, as reports of blowout fights and arguments between the two have been floating around for several months. In May, a TMZ documentary claimed their marriage was in "deep trouble" and that Sam was rarely staying in their home. Britney even ditched her wedding ring during a spring vacation in Puerto Rico.

Sam was simply at his "wits' end" with Britney's often erratic behavior , the webloid reported. 

Publicly, though, Sam has backed his wife, recently defending her following a physical incident with an NBA player in Las Vegas in July.

Britney and Sam met in 2016 when he starred in one of her music videos. They quickly began dating and became rather inseparable. The couple got engaged in the midst of her conservatorship battle , and they eventually tied the knot in June 2022.

Prior to their 2022 wedding, the "Toxic" singer's lawyers set up an "ironclad prenup" to ensure the finances and assets Britney had going into the marriage would remain hers should she and Sam ever call it quits. Britney has an estimated net worth of $60 million. Regardless, it's believed that she will likely settle things with Sam financially. Divorce docs hint at a potential prenup challenge, TMZ reported, with Sam's attorney noting the actor-trainer "has yet to determine the full nature and extent of the separate property assets and obligations of each party" and that "There are various items of community and quasi-community assets and debts, the full nature and extent of which are unknown to [Sam] at this time."

Her crumbling marriage is just  one piece of the troubling puzzle involving the Princess of Pop. According to a February TMZ  report, those close to Britney  felt an intervention was direly needed  because people around her had become deeply alarmed by what TMZ described as "her erratic, volatile behavior." A source told the webloid that the singer was taking medications that "hype her up" — but not taking the medications that stabilize her — and that she'd been "flying off the handle" with increasing regularity. But an intervention was suddenly scrapped, TMZ reported, after Britney caught wind of it. "I'm afraid she's gonna die," one source in regular contact with Britney told TMZ at the time. 

'Fast & Furious' star sues The Home Depot for $450M for discriminating against him

Singer-actor Tyrese Gibson is accusing The Home Depot of discrimination and racial profiling after an incident in February that occurred at one of the brand's California stores.

On Aug. 9, the "Fast & Furious" franchise star and two other plaintiffs — Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez, craftsmen who've provided construction services to the singer-actor — filed a lawsuit claiming "outrageous discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling" at a Home Depot in West Hills, California, on Feb. 11, 2023.

NBC News reported that in the complaint, Tyrese says he, Eric and Manuel went to The Home Depot together to buy some materials for a project they were doing at his home. A cashier allegedly took 20 minutes to ring up the items. Meanwhile, other shoppers began recognizing and approaching the actor, prompting him to wait in his vehicle to prevent a disturbance. Before he went outside, Tyrese told the cashier that the craftsmen with him would complete the sale on his behalf. The suit claims Eric and Manuel were not allowed to do so, which led Tyrese to come back inside to show ID so they could finish the transaction. He asked to speak to a manager, who allegedly refused.

"The actions of the cashier and manager were discriminatory based on race and origin," the complaint states. "There is no other plausible explanation for the mistreatment of Plaintiffs. The transaction was refused, despite Gibson's repeated authorizations, because of Plaintiffs' skin color and, in the case of Mora and Hernandez, also because of their national origin."

The suit calls the "humiliating and demeaning" interaction "a clear and deplorable instance of discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling" and further alleges that The Home Depot has "doubled down, lawyered-up" instead of holding itself accountable for what transpired. In short, The Home Depot "invited this civil rights lawsuit," the complaint further alleges. "This is the absolute height of hypocrisy for a company that disingenuously promotes itself to the world as 'an environment of mutual respect that is free of harassment and discrimination.'"

According to court documents, the three plaintiffs are seeking more than $1 million in damages, which Entertainment Weekly reported is how much Tyrese estimates he's spent at The Home Depot over the years, plus statutory damages, attorney's fees, punitive damages, a declaratory judgment confirming that The Home Depot's actions violated California's Unruh Civil Rights Act, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and also "such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper."

The actor's team released a statement on his Instagram page on Aug. 11 alongside a video of Tyrese speaking to The Home Depot staff inquiring about their policies. According to the social media post, they're seeking a total of $450 million in damages.

"Craftsmen Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez are an integral part of my team and have made significant contributions to my visions for over a decade. Together, we ardently uphold our commitments to civil rights, promoting empathy, and understanding," the statement began. It continued, "The Home Depot, we envision a world free from discriminatory practices and consumer racial profiling. Just as I have done for the past 20-plus years, I pledge to continue to utilize my platform to empower the voiceless, fostering a spirit of unity and hope, while illuminating our shared path forward."

The Home Depot claims they've tried to address what happened: "Diversity and respect for all people are core to who we are, and we do not tolerate discrimination in any form," a company spokesperson told Today.com in a statement on Aug. 11. "We value Mr. Gibson as a customer, and in the months since this happened, we've reached out to him and his attorneys several times to try to resolve his concerns. We will continue to do so."

TV star leaves ESPN after settling lawsuit over Obama race and COVID vaccine comments

After 16 years, Sage Steele has left ESPN so that she can exercise her First Amendment rights "more freely," the broadcaster said. The ex-"SportsCenter" host and her former company both confirmed the news on Aug. 15.

"Life update. Having successfully settled my case with ESPN/Disney, I have decided to leave so I can exercise my first amendment rights more freely. I am grateful for so many wonderful experiences over the past 16 years and am excited for my next chapter!" she shared on social media.

In a statement, ESPN said the company and Sage "mutually agreed to part ways," adding, "We thank her for her many contributions over the years."

The announcement comes after Sage settled a lawsuit with the company that she filed in 2022. In that suit, she claimed ESPN violated her First Amendment rights as well as Connecticut free-speech laws when she was suspended over public comments she made about the network's COVID vaccine policy and former President Barack Obama's racial identity.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sage Steele (@sagesteele)

It all began when Sage was a guest on a September 2021 episode of the "Uncut With Jay Cutler" podcast. She said she'd just been vaccinated against the coronavirus but called ESPN and parent company The Walt Disney Co.'s corporate vaccine mandate "sick" and "scary to me in many ways."

She also shared on the podcast that she felt late TV journalist Barbara Walters had belittled her for identifying as biracial. (Sage's father is Gary Steele, the first Black football player at U.S. Military Academy West Point, and mother is Mona Steele, who is white.)

Sage said that after the founder of "The View" asked her what race she'd choose on the census and she responded, "well, both," Barbara made a comment about Barack choosing Black. "And I'm like, well, congratulations to the president," Sage said on the podcast. "That's his thing. I think that's fascinating considering his Black dad was nowhere to be found but his white mom and grandma raised him. But hey, you do you. I'm going to do me."

In the wake of her podcast comments, ESPN took her off the air for 10 days and pulled her from several big assignments at the network. "At ESPN, we embrace different points of view — dialogue and discussion makes this place great," the company said in a statement. "That said, we expect that those points of view be expressed respectfully, in a manner consistent with our values, and in line with our internal policies."

Sage issued an apology, saying in a statement, "I know my recent comments created controversy for the company, and I apologize. We are in the midst of an extremely challenging time that impacts all of us, and it's more critical than ever that we communicate constructively and thoughtfully."

In her lawsuit, which was filed in 2022, her lawyers accused ESPN of relying "on the misleading characterizations of her comments" and said her employer "forced her to apologize, allowed media to destroy her, and let media reports that she had been suspended go unchallenged, and allowed Steele's colleagues to defame her in violation of company policy without so much as a reprimand."

The Associated Press reported that in June 2023, court documents showed that ESPN offered to settle Sage's claims for $501,000.00 plus reasonable attorney's fees and costs. Details on their settlement terms, however, were not made public when Sage and the company announced they'd parted ways in August.

Did Jay-Z Just Buy Beyoncé This $70 Million Superyacht?

• Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest Youtube

Jared Paul Stern has written for the Wall Street Journal,…

Jay-Z might have just splashed out on a $70 million superyacht for Beyoncé’s 32nd birthday – and it’s money well spent. The pair of superstars have been spotted celebrating aboard the 213-ft. Galactica Star , the world’s largest fast displacement yacht at the time of its launch in 2013, combining low resistance with high performance and fuel efficiency throughout the full speed range.

It can hit nearly 30 knots while burning 20 percent less fuel than craft of a comparable size. Built by Heesen in the Netherlands it features massive amounts of outdoor space including a sundeck, a duplex beach club covering 25% of the main and lower decks, and a touch-and-go helipad on the foredeck. No mogul worth his salt would buy a boat without one, of course. It also comes with several World Superyacht Awards.

The yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in custom-built staterooms, including a full-beam master suite with private balcony and a VIP suite on the upper deck, along with a crew of 13 to service them. It also has a swimming pool, sauna, and on-deck Jacuzzi.

The Galactica Star , which cost an estimated $70 million to build, is not on the books as a charter vessel, so some insiders speculate Jay-Z may have dropped the coin to make it his. No doubt he negotiated a good price, and by chartering it out when not in use he may even turn a profit.

The couple apparently fell in love with the yacht, with its knockout interior designed by London-based firm Bannenberg & Rowell, when they first sailed aboard it soon after launch. Something to do with the massive amounts of Macassar ebony, spruce, oak, sycamore, glass, metal, leather and marble, we trust.

Jared Paul Stern has written for the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, GQ, WWD, Vogue, New York magazine, Details, Hamptons magazine, Playboy, BlackBook, the New York Post, Bergdorf Goodman magazine and Luxist among others. He is also the founding editor of the Page Six magazine.

How Jay-Z, hip-hop's first billionaire, makes and spends his money

• Jay-Z has a net worth of $2.5 billion, according to Forbes.
• The rap mogul has built a fortune through his music and several business ventures.
• It includes a clothing line, the music streaming service tidal, and liquor business.

Taylor Borden contributed to a previous version of this article.

Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z, launched his career with a self-made mentality. He founded Roc-A-Fella Records in 1995 after being unable to land a recording contract with a major record label.

Jay-Z grew up poor in the Marcy housing project in Brooklyn.

"The burden of poverty isn't just that you don't always have the things you need," Jay-Z  told NPR in 2010 . "It's the feeling of being embarrassed every day of your life, and you'd do anything to lift that burden."

The rapper has detailed his years as a drug dealer in numerous songs and interviews, but he finally went legit when he created Roc-A-Fella Records in 1995 with Damon Dash and Kareem Burke.

His debut album "Reasonable Doubt" a year later turned the rapper into a rising star.

Jay-Z made his first millions in the late 1990s and early 2000s off of his chart-topping songs.

After "Reasonable Doubt," Jay-Z had a run of success rarely seen by a rapper at that point. 

In 1999, he won a best rap album Grammy for "Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life." He followed that with countless chart-topping hits over the decades, including "Big Pimpin'," "99 Problems," "Crazy in Love." He also smartly made a deal to purchase the  masters and publishing rights to his music catalog in 2004 , which has netted him a significant chunk of change: $75 million, Forbes estimates. 

He launched Rocawear in 1999 and sold it for hundreds of millions in 2007.

The clothing line became an instant hit among fans and a leading brand within the growing hip-hop fashion community of the late 1990s.

In 2007,  Jay-Z sold the company to Iconix Brand Group  for $204 million in cash. By that time Rocawear had annual sales of over $700 million,  according to The New York Times .

He bought a percentage of the Brooklyn Nets in 2003. Then in 2013, he sold his stake to start the sports agency Roc Nation Sports.

played a crucial role in getting the Nets from New Jersey to Brooklyn in 2012.

But in 2013, the mogul sold his stake and began the sports agency Roc Nation Sports.

"Our newest endeavor is committed to building the brands of professional athletes as we have done for some of today's top music artists," Jay-Z  wrote on his website, Life and Times, in 2013  as to why he made the move. "For Roc Nation Sports to function at its full potential, NBA rules stipulate that I relinquish my ownership in the Brooklyn Nets."

In 2015, Jay-Z bought the company behind Tidal, the music streaming service. In 2021 he sold it, pocketing over $100 million.

Jay-Z got into the streaming music business in 2015 when  he spent $56 million to acquire the company Aspiro . He then used that tech to launch Tidal, the music service that would compete with the likes of Apple and Spotify.

In 2021, Jay-Z sold Tidal to the payment platform company Square for $297 million,  according to Forbes . The outlet reported that the mogul walked away from the deal with $149 million in cash and stock.

He also earned millions from his liquor brands Armand de Brignac and D'Usse.

In 2014 he bought the champagne brand Armand de Brignac. Under his watch, the gold bottle with the Ace of Spades on it grew into a must-have bubbly.

In 2021, he  sold 50% of his stake  to LVMH's Moët Hennessy, though he still has an ownership stake in his D'ussé Cognac brand. Barcardi bought a majority stake in 2023 worth about $750 million,  according to Variety .

Jay-Z signed a $200 million deal with Live Nation in 2017.

"Live Nation and I entered unchartered territory in 2008," Jay Z said in a statement about the deal at the time,  Variety reported . "Over nine years, we have traveled the world producing historic music experiences." The renewed partnership would "continue redefining the live event landscape."

The "Big Pimpin" rapper has countless other ventures he's been involved in over the years, from Roc Nation to private jets.

His entertainment label Roc Nation falls under his work with Live Nation, and in 2019 it  teamed with the NFL  on entertainment initiatives with the league, including its Super Bowl halftime shows.

That partnership has led to acclaimed halftime performances from The Weeknd, Dr. Dre, and most recently, Rihanna.

He was also an  early investor in JetSmarter , a startup that allows people to rent private jets like they would an Uber or Lyft. The company was  purchased by Vista Global in 2019  and merged into the new brand XOJET Aviation. 

He also has a luxury marijuana brand.

 Jay-Z launched the luxury cannabis brand, called Monogram in 2019. Rihanna, Meek Mill, and DJ Khaled are all investors, according to GQ .

In 2019, Forbes named Jay-Z the first-ever hip-hop billionaire.

In 2019, after years being in a deadlock with Diddy on who was the top-earner in hip-hop, Jay-Z finally topped the other mogul, according to Forbes .

The outlet noted it was a mix of his music library, which at the time was worth $75 million, his liquor deals, and Tidal.

In 2023, Jay-Z's net worth hit $2.5 billion.

In less than four years, Forbes bumped up the mogul's net worth to $2.5 billion thanks to his liquor businesses, music catalog, and fine art collection.

Jay-Z 's art collection is worth tens of millions.

Jay-Z has been collecting works of art for years.

In 2013 he bought the Jean-Michel Basquiat painting "Mecca" for $4.47 million, according to Sothebys.

His collection is  worth around $70 million .

He and Beyoncé have homes from coast to coast.

The power couple own some serious real estate, including multiple houses in the Hamptons, a 30,000-square-foot compound in Bel-Air , and a penthouse in Tribeca. 

He also owns private islands. Yes, more than one.

He bought Beyoncé an island for her 29th birthday in 2010 in the Florida Keys. But that's not their only island getaway.

Three years later he bought another island. This one in the Bahamas spans 360 acres .

He spends lavishly on his family.

Along with yacht parties and jet-setting around the world with the fam, Jay-Z and Beyoncé often treat their children Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir to extravagant gifts. The couple spent thousands on a dress Blue Ivy wore to the 2016 VMAs and bought a $3,500 lucite crib when Blue Ivy was born.

This Is How Much Jay-Z Has Spent On Presents For Beyonce

We're talking a yacht, a private island, a vintage Rolls Royce, and lots and lots more.

Rapper Jay-Z and singer Beyoncé are truly American royalty. Queen Bey and her prince make waves wherever they go. The couple, firmly in the billionaire stratosphere, are noted for living life large, from their houses to their yacht, private jet, and private island. What can you say about people who gave their daughter Blue Ivy a solid-gold rocking horse? It's excess in the extreme. But for some reason, Beyoncé and Jay-Z get away with it. People have come to expect it from them.

Style icon Beyoncé famously gifted Jay-Z with a $40 million jet and a $2 million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport.

And Jay-Z has returned the favor. We're talking a yacht, a private island, a vintage Rolls Royce, and lots and lots more.

Let's have a look at all the stuff Jay-Z has given Queen Bey. And more importantly, let's try to put a price tag on it all.

Vintage Rolls Royce And Private Island

In Beyoncé and Jay-Z's universe, money is no object. So, for Bey's 25th birthday, Jay-Z came home with a vintage baby blue Rolls Royce convertible. Estimated cost? Around $1 million. Technically it's a limousine. Beyoncé looks great in the back seat while Jay-Z plays chauffeur.

Now, if you are Beyoncé and Jay-Z, privacy is tough. You can't go on vacay like the rest of us without attracting a crowd. So what could be better than a private island? The one Hova bought Bey for her 29th birthday in 2010 is off the Florida coast, technically in the Bahamas. The price tag? Around $20 million.

The 12.5-acre island comes complete with a mega-mansion. No, we can't show you any shots inside because private means private. There aren't any. But from the looks of it in the aerial shot, it's huge. And what about electricity? Simple (and expensive). Solar panels have apparently been installed.

The bottom line for both the island and the limo: Around $21 million. That's true love talking.

Superyacht Yacht

What do you get your wife for her birthday when she turns 32? Well, Jay-Z decided that he would give Beyoncé a 213 foot Galactica Star yacht . He paid around $70 million for the luxury yacht.

It's officially a superyacht and has lots of outdoor space and a helipad. Jay-Z and Beyoncé are sometimes spotted sipping champagne in its hot tub. A tough life isn't? The yacht has room for 12 guests, so Mr. and Mrs. Carter can take their nearest and dearest with them when they cruise the high seas.

Rap-up.com has reported that Jay-Z arranged to charter a 312-foot LANA superyacht for Bey's 39th birthday in September of this year. Kids Blue Ivy, Sir, and Rumi came along for the Mediterranean cruise. Hova even hired a private chef or two to cook up that special birthday meal for Bey on a private island he rented for the occasion. The price tag? The yacht charter costs a staggering $2 million a week. And that's before you get to the private island and the two Italian chefs!

The bottom line for buying the yacht and Bey's 39th birthday bash: At least $74 million.

"Little Things" Mean So Much

Let's take a sampling of assorted birthday, Christmas, and Valentine's Day gifts Jay-Z has purchased for Beyoncé.

The private island, the Rolls Royce, and the whole yacht thing are big-ticket items. What about the "little things" Jay-Z has given his wife?

Five years ago, Jay-Z gave Queen Bey a $95,000 Butterfly Ring designed by renowned British jewelry design Glenn Spiro. It's titanium and is encrusted with tsavorites. What? It's a stone that is 10-times more valuable than emeralds. It's gorgeous, but not very practical. So in 2018 Bey donated it to the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. They were thrilled. Queen Bey's ring will be displayed beside jewelry once worn by other "royal" figures like England's Queen Elizabeth I and Catherine the Great of Russia.

In 2009, Jay-Z plonked down a mere $24,00for a platinum-covered cell phone. And one Christmas he came home with a $350,000 collection of Hermes Birken handbags.

Bottom line: Around $475,000, just for those few items.

Game Of Thrones Dragon Egg?

Beyoncé is a big fan of  Game of Thrones .  So four or five years back, some say that Jay-Z bought her one of the prop dragon's eggs from the show.

Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys Targaryen has said: "Apparently Jay-Z bought one for Beyoncé . . ."

The cost? We can give you a guesstimate. Luke Skywalker's lightsaber from  Star Wars  fetched a couple of hundred thousand dollars. So, we'd say a dragon's egg from  GOT  just has to be worth at least $100,000.

Bottom line: At least $100,000.

Where does all of that leave us? All told all the presents we've noted add up to around $96  million dollars! And if we throw in the $5 million engagement ring Hova bought Bey, that makes the total to $101 million. And that's just the stuff we know about. That's about 10 percent of Jay-Z's reported net worth. We just hope Queen Bey appreciates it. We suspect she just takes it as her rightful due.

Shawn Carter was born on the 4th of December 1969 in Brooklyn, New York, United States.

He was raised in Marcy Houses, a housing project in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood.

Gloria, Shawn’s mother, raised him and his 3 siblings after their father abandoned them.

Shawn attended Eli Whitney High School in Brooklyn until it was closed down.

He then attended the nearby George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School with future rappers The Notorious B.I.G. and Busta Rhymes , followed by a stint at Trenton Central High School in Trenton, New Jersey. He never graduated from High School.

Gloria purchased a boom box for Jay-Z’s birthday, initially sparking an interest in music.

After this, he began free-styling and writing lyrics, adopting the name ‘Jay-Z’ to honor his mentor ‘Jay-O’.

Initially, Jay-Z was selling records out of the trunk of his car.

He had no record deal, and was unsigned, so he did whatever he could to try and sell his music.

He founded the record label Roc-A-Fella Records with Damon Dash and Kareem Biggs, which ended up with them striking a distribution deal with Priority. This then allowed Jay-Z to release his debut album ‘Reasonable Doubt’ in 1996.

Fast forward to today, and Jay-Z holds the record for most number-one albums by a solo artist on the US Billboard 200 with 14. He has also had four number #1s on the Billboard Hot 100.

How Much Beyonce And Jay-Z Are Really Worth

It's hard to comprehend just how much money Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and her hubby, Jay-Z , actually have. Who would spend nearly $11,000 on a dress for their toddler daughter? Or stage this ridiculously elaborate pregnancy Instagram post ? Only the kind of people worth an  estimated $1.25 billion . In other words, the two celebs are worth more than twice as much as the Queen of England. Honestly, it doesn't even seem like there's enough time in the day to make that kind of cash.

In 2017, Forbes named Bey the highest-paid woman in the music industry. The singer is worth an estimated $355 million on her own, making her one of Forbes' richest self-made women . And that's before adding in Shawn Carter's  $930 million net worth . But how do these stars make all that cash? It certainly isn't only from album sales. Both celebs have clothing and perfume lines and liquor companies and have undertaken massive tech endeavors, which bring them a massive chunk of change. It almost makes Jay's $1.5 million sale of his little piece of the Barclay's Center look like trading baseball cards on the playground.

Riding in style

You won't catch Jay-Z dropping daughter Blue Ivy off for ballet class in a Honda Odyssey. Though he's been known to occasionally hop on the subway , the hip hop mogul has some pretty nice toys. According to Page Six , the star dropped a whopping $8 million on a Maybach Exelero. But he doesn't limit himself to just fancy cars. The royal family of rap reportedly has a $40 million private plane , and the Carters have also been spotted cruising on a $50 million yacht to celebrate Beyoncé's 32nd birthday.

Riding around in style is one thing, but Beyoncé and Jay-Z also have some pretty impressive real estate holdings. According to E! News , the pair owns a $135 million Bel Air compound. You heard that right: compound. It's complete with four pools, eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a 15-car garage, a spa, a fitness center, and a literal helipad.  E! News reported that Bey and Jay also own a $26 million, 12,000 square-foot mansion in the Hamptons that comes with a 1,800 square-foot guest house.

Album sales aren't paying The Carters' automo-bills

According to Billboard (via E! News ), Beyoncé's album sales were reportedly just 6.9 percent of her total earnings in 2016 — but boy was that tiny percentage gigantic. That year, the former Destiny's Child member dropped the album Lemonade, which became the third best-selling album in the U.S. behind Adele's 25 and Drake's Views, as reported by   Billboard . The album was said to have sold almost 2.2 million units. Between Lemonade's success and royalties from her previous works (as both a solo artist and a member of Destiny's Child), the star pulled in $4.3 million.

Jay-Z, on the other hand, didn't make as much as his wife from album sales during the release of 4:44 , but he sold a million copies before his 13th studio album was even released in 2017. According to E! News, Sprint purchased a million copies in advance to give as free downloads to Tidal subscribers. He managed to sell an additional 262,000 album-equivalent units which shot his efforts to the top of the Billboard 200 ,  but he only brought in $3 million that year from all of his royalties combined. This was reportedly just 1.5 percent of his overall 2017 paycheck.

Tidal's worth skyrocketed tenfold since Jay-Z dove in

In 2015, Jay-Z purchased Tidal's parent company for $56 million in effort to capitalize on the ever-changing music industry. According to The New York Times , the streaming service was a sort of underdog compared to Spotify, Rhapsody, and YouTube. A year prior, Apple began their pivot towards streaming and purchased Beats Music (which was ultimately shuttered in favor of Apple Music) as part of a $3 billion deal . Basically, Jay got in early, and it paid off.

It's undeniable that the Carters helped raise Tidal's profile, along with a number of A-listers like Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Kanye West, who all own a stake in the company. It didn't take long for its value to skyrocket. Even though its user base remains relatively small compared to frontrunners like Spotify and Apple, Forbes reported that Tidal's worth skyrocketed to around $600 million by 2018. Talk about a return on investment! In 2017, Jay-Z pulled in a whopping $200 million after he sold a 33 percent stake in the company to Sprint, as reported by the  BBC .

People went 'apes**t' for On The Run II

The only thing better than a Carter alone is when the Carters team up. Beyoncé and Jay-Z pulled in an enormous amount of money from their joint  On The Run tour series. According to Billboard , the pair first embarked on a 21-date run   in 2014. It "grossed $109.6 million from 980,000 tickets sold." But this is one of the rare cases where the sequel is actually better than the original.

In June 2018, the Carters embarked on On The Run II  to promote their collaborative album Everything Is Love, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 later that month. It exceeded expectations and more than doubled the couple's profits from the previous incarnation. With support from DJ Khaled and Chloe x Halle, the tour raked in a whopping $253.5 million from more that 2.17 million tickets sold. It was twice as long as the original  On The Run and featured 48 shows spanning North America and Europe.

Bey is the concert breadwinner

The Carters may make an excellent team, but Beyoncé is the clear breadwinner when it comes to ticket sales. According to E! News , her Formation tour in 2016 pulled in an estimated $250 million. She personally walked away with $54.7 million worth of the pie. Alternatively, Jay-Z's 4:44 tour grossed $48.7 million in 2017, and he personally only profited an estimated $14 million. Tell us again, who run the world?

Though the Formation tour is a thing of the past, Bey still claims high performance fees for her solo concerts. Business Insider estimated that the "Single Ladies" singer got around $3 million for her 2018 headlining set at Coachella. In 2016, E! News estimated that touring accounted for 88 percent of the star's annual earnings. The artist also occasionally acts. She's landed roles in flicks like Dreamgirls and 2013's animated Epic. She also signed on as the voice of Nala for Disney's live-action remake of The Lion King  by November 2017. There's no word on just how much the star will pull in from her role, but The Hollywood Reporter claimed Emma Watson, who starred in the remake of Beauty and the Beast, pulled in around $15 million. We'd guess that Bey, who's playing a key supporting character rather than the star, will likely get a little less.

Roc Nation has nearly $1 billion in management contracts

A year after Jay-Z stepped down from his role at Def Jam, where he signed a $10 million contract in 2004, according to  E! News , the rap mogul launched Roc Nation. Since 2008, the full-service entertainment company has been acting as a "talent agency, music publishing house and a touring and concert production company" (via E! News ) for a litany of impressive A-listers like Shakira and DJ Khaled. Though Jay signed a ten-year, $200 million deal with Live Nation (via Forbes ), who co-owns Roc Nation, the artist isn't banking on the music industry, where record labels are struggling to monetize physical releases, as reported by   Rolling Stone . His brand's most lucrative arm might just be Roc Nation Sports, which was founded in 2013.

According to Forbes , the company manages $934.7 million in contracts for a number of athletes including NFL running backs and MLB pitchers. In 2018, Roc Nation Sports reportedly brought in $28.9 million in commissions, which helped land Jay the No. 21 spot on Forbes' list of top agents. According to  E! News,  the rapper's work with Roc Nation allegedly makes up the largest chunk of his income.

That endorsement will cost you about $50 million

The Carters were influencers long before people were hawking diet teas on Instagram. According to Elle , a single post on Beyoncé's ultra-lux account is valued at $1 million. At one point, she even held the record for the most-liked photo on the social network . Instead of cheap teeth-whitening and weight loss products, Bey obviously goes for the gold. Fortune reported that she inked a $50 million deal with Pepsi in 2012, though she's worked with the company since 2002. The singer also had sponsorships with Nintendo DS, L'Oreal, and American Express.

What's unusual for a woman in the music industry is the fact that Beyoncé can't really attribute her success to anyone but herself. After firing her father some years ago, the artist has been managing herself under her own entertainment company, Parkwood Entertainment.

"I felt like I wanted to follow the footsteps of Madonna and be a powerhouse and have my own empire and show other women when you get to this point in your career you don't have to go sign with someone else and share your money and your success — you do it yourself," she said during a 2013 screening of her self-titled visual album (via Billboard ) .

Like Beyoncé, Jay-Z also has a number of endorsement deals. According to International Business Times , he's worked with brands like Armadale Vodka and Hewlett Packard.

Retail it to the top

Retail is a huge market for both Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The latter co-founded Rocawear in the late '90s and sold the rights to his brand almost a decade later for $200 million, as noted by E! News . In 2003, he had a landmark Reebok collab, which according to Complex , "changed the sneaker industry forever" when his first pair of kicks sold 10,000 units at about $150 each an hour after they hit shelves (via the New York Post ). The rapper also had "high-end clothing capsule collections" at Barneys in 2013 and 2017.

Years after Jay sold Rocawear, Beyoncé embarked on her own retail journey. In 2014, the singer started developing an athleisure line with Topshop billionaire Philip Green, launching their first products at the British retailer in 2016 (via Elle ). According to Mashable , Ivy Park was the most popular fashion brand on Instagram before it even hit stores and sold out almost instantly upon release (via Time ).

Today, Ivy Park remains a brand filled with controversy. Beyoncé came under fire after a report by The Sun (via Business Insider ) accused the clothing line of paying its Sri Lankan factory workers as little as $6.20 a day. In 2018, she took full ownership of the brand after sexual harassment allegations were  leveled against Green."

How much is the bar tab?

Jay-Z has no qualms about spending epic proportions on a night out — and here the rest of us are worried about accidentally leaving our tabs open. According to Page Six , the rapper racked up a $91,135 bar tab in 2018 at a nightclub called Playroom after reportedly ordering 40 bottles of Armand de Brignac champagne. For Jay, this very well could be a tax write-off. The music mogul has a hand in the business of alcohol and nightlife.

Jay has long-owned the 40/40 club, a celebrity-favored haunt in New York that reportedly brings in annual profits of $10 million. According to Forbes , the club's "central feature" is a $1 million champagne tower comprised of golden Armand de Brignac bottles. Jay also owns the champagne brand, colloquially referred to as Ace of Spades, which has bottles that retail for as much as $850 a pop. Though Armand de Brignac keeps their sales figures under wraps, they reportedly make 100,000 bottles a year.

If you didn't know from the sheer amount of times Jay-Z and his friends rapped about d'Usse in recent years, Hov also own the Bacardi cognac brand (via Billboard ) which launched in 2012. Though it's unclear how much the music mogul makes from the deal, cognac sales are reportedly surging in the U.S., and Bacardi made 86,000 cases in 2016 alone. This was a 48 percent increase from the previous year.

Jay-Z is all for Ubering in the sky

Jay-Z didn't just get his $900 million net worth rapping. For someone with so many jobs, he's had a crazy amount of retirements. The one job that always seemed to stick was tech investing. After a series of successful investments, the star created his own venture capital firm called Marcy Venture Partners alongside Roc Nation president Jay Brown and Larry Marcus, a "Silicon Valley venture capitalist" who'd previously invested in Pandora and SoundHound, according to Axios .

Jay-Z has always blurred the line between the music industry and tech world. His dealings with Roc Nation's startup platform prove it, but he's also made some key investments in the world of transportation. According to TechCrunch , Jay invested in Uber in 2011 when the ride-sharing app was worth just $300 million. Today, it's valued at $62.5 billion, likely leaving him with a huge return.

Not all of Jay's tech investments have been fruitful. In 2012, the star backed private jet startup Blackjet, which eventually went bust. In 2018, he set his sights on the world of luxury air travel once again when he invested in JetSmarter, which is largely considered the Uber of private jets. According to TechCrunch , the company is valued at $1.5 billion.

No one does a celebrity perfume like Beyonce

Maybe she's drunk in love, or maybe she's just inhaled a little too much perfume. A strong scent is enough to make anyone a little light-headed, much like we'd feel if we stared at Beyoncé's perfume sales figures. Though sales of celebrity scents have reportedly dropped by half since 2000 (via The Washington Post ), Mrs. Carter sold $400 million worth of fragrances, according to WWD (via Fashionista ). The last-reported figures are from 2013, so who knows how much more she's actually made?

Bey broke Macy's sales records with her fragrance line Heat. Though she's seen a number of releases including Pulse and Rise, the very first scent made $75,000 in a single day. According to People StyleWatch (via  New York Daily News ) , it brought in $3 million during the first month in a time when celebrity fragrances typically garnered just $2.5 million a year . But the "Crazy In Love" singer was already a perfume pro by the time she launched her first scent.

In 2004, Beyoncé teamed up with Tommy Hilfiger to create True Star. According to People , the brand gave her a whopping $250,000 in exchange for her endorsement and ten days of her time. Not bad for just over a week of work.

They rented out the Louvre

If you didn't know that the Carters were worth more than a billion dollars, the fact that they're the kind of couple who can rent out the Louvre on a whim might tip you off (via Fader ). The pair stunned viewers when they released the single to their first collaborative album,  Everything Is Love, and seemingly rented out the entire Parisian museum. Though the Louvre didn't comment on how much it actually cost to rent the place out (via Vulture ), brushing elbows with the Mona Lisa isn't typically very cheap, but it's probably still pennies for the king and queen of hip hop.

According to The New York Times , about 500 shoots take place at the Louvre every year. The galleries reportedly cost 15,000 euros (about $17,500) to use for a full day's shoot, but Beyoncé and Jay-Z shot interior and exterior shots. We're also guessing they didn't want visitors and might have rented out the whole thing or filmed on a day when it wasn't open to the public. Newsweek reported that renting out the reception hall beneath the Glass Pyramid costs $36,000 alone. That's basically just a few of Blue Ivy's dresses. No biggie!

Key Takeaways

• Superstar rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z has a net worth of $2.5 billion as of November 2023, according to Forbes.
• Jay-Z became the first billionaire rapper in 2019 and has amassed his wealth over the years through his music and successful business ventures, such as his liquor brands.
• In 2023, Jay-Z and Beyoncé bought the most expensive home ever sold in California, a 40,000-square-foot property in Malibu that they bought for $200 million.

Billionaire rapper, investor, and entrepreneur Jay-Z sat down with CBS Mornings' co-host, Gayle King, in a rare interview that aired on CBS last week.

In the hour-long primetime interview, Jay-Z and King take a tour of The Book of HOV exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library that honors the rapper and his illustrious career.

If there's one thing the billionaire knows how to do well, it's how to spot a good deal. When King asked Jay-Z to settle a social media debate that asked fans to decide between taking $500,000 cash or having dinner with him, he replied, "You gotta take the money.... I wouldn't tell you to cut a bad deal."

As of November 2023, Jay-Z has a net worth of $2.5 billion, according to Forbes. Together, Jay-Z and his superstar wife Beyoncé have a combined net worth of about $3 billion.

The rapper became the first billionaire rapper in 2019 and has amassed his wealth over the years through his music and a series of successful business ventures that made him millions.

Here's how hip-hop's first billionaire made his fortune.

Jay-Z's rise to fame and fortune began with his successful career as a rapper.

Jay-Z is the first Black male artist to have 10 multi-platinum albums, a certification given to albums that have sold more than 2 million copies each. The rapper has released 13 solo studio albums and sold about 33.5 million copies in total.

He is the most-nominated artist in Grammy history—a title he shares with his wife, Beyoncé. The pair has 88 Grammy nominations each.

His music catalog is worth an estimated $75 million, according to Forbes— and he owns the masters and publishing rights to his works. His first album was Reasonable Doubt, released in 1996, and his most recent album, 4:44 was released in 2017.

In 2017, Jay-Z signed a 10-year, $200 million touring partnership with Live Nation , one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world.

Businesses and Investments

In addition to his iconic career as an artist, Jay-Z has come to be known as a top entrepreneur and investor.

His cash and investments are worth an estimated $200 million (as of 2019) and include a stake in Uber. The rapper has also founded multiple companies and liquor brands that have made him millions of dollars.

For instance, in 2007, Rocawear (a clothing brand co-founded by Jay-Z) was bought by Iconix Brand Group for over $204 million in cash, according to The New York Times. At the time, Rocawear was bringing in more than $700 million in annual sales.

Liquor Brands

Many celebrities from Ryan Reynolds to Matthew McConaughey have gotten into the liquor business and made millions from it, and Jay-Z is no exception.

Jay-Z bought premium champagne brand, Armand de Brignac in 2014. In 2021, luxury conglomerate LVMH bought a 50% stake in the brand. The brand's Ace of Spades champagne sells for $300 a bottle. The rapper still owns the remaining 50% of the brand.

Jay-Z also founded his own liquor brand, luxury cognac D'Usse. In 2023, the beverage company Bacardi bought a majority stake in D'Usse worth $750 million, according to Variety.

Roc Nation is an entertainment company founded by Jay-Z that has a record label, talent management, sports, publishing, and distribution sections. Some of the label's biggest clients across entertainment and sports include Rihanna , Shakira, and Kyrie Irving among many others.

Roc Nation has been in a partnership with the NFL since 2019 as the football league's official live music entertainment strategist. In 2022, Jay-Z won an Emmy for his production of the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

In 2015, Jay-Z bought music streaming service Tidal, for $56 million. Jay-Z even removed most of his music from the streaming service Spotify and moved it to Tidal with the idea of having exclusive music available on Tidal.

The streaming service marketed itself as having better sound quality and better compensation for artists who use the platform to host their music. It had backing from artists including Beyoncé, Kanye West, and Calvin Harris.

In 2021, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey bought the streaming service (which did not do as well as expected), for an estimated $297 million.

Art & Real Estate

The rapper also owns islands, a costly art collection, and sprawling properties in New York and Los Angeles.

His art collection is worth an estimated $70 million as of 2019 and includes a piece by Jean-Michael Basquiat, which he bought for an estimated $4.5 million in 2013.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé also own multi-million dollar properties across the country. In 2023, the couple bought the most expensive home ever sold in California, a 40,000-square-foot property in Malibu that they bought for $200 million, according to People.

Jay-Z also owns properties in East Hampton, New York, and a penthouse in Tribeca.

Beyoncé pays tribute to husband Jay-Z with highly-anticipated new album – here's how

Beyoncé's cowboy carter drops on march 29.

Beyoncé's fans are highly anticipating the release of her new country album , the title of which was revealed earlier in the week as  Cowboy Carter .

The studio album is the 42-year-old pop icon's eighth and is the follow-up to her highly successful Renaissance from 2022, marketed as an " Act ii " to the largely house and ballroom inspired project.

However, while we don't have many details on the new album, one thing that we do know is that the album already serves as an implicit nod to her husband, Jay-Z .

The title uses her marital surname, his family name (Jay-Z's birth name is Shawn Corey Carter), and pays tribute to the legacy they've created as one of the music industry's biggest power couples.

After first collaborating with him for 2002's "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" (and hitting number one months later with "Crazy in Love"), the two have been inseparable, married since 2008 and the parents of daughter Blue Ivy and twins Sir and Rumi.
