18 Celebs Who Are Literal Billionaires (And How They Got Their Money)

Per Rolling Stone, in a 2022 Twitter Space, Jay-Z addressed criticism of his billionaire status. He said, “Yeah, we’re not gonna stop. You know, hip-hop is young, we still growing, and we’re not falling for that trick-nology whatever, you know, this public puts out there. Before was the American dream, ‘Pull yourself by the bootstraps, and you can make yourself…you can make it in America,’ all these lies that America told us our whole life. And then when we start getting in, they tried to lock us out of it. They start inventing words like you know, ‘capitalist,’ you know, things like that.” He then named racial slurs he’s been called and added, “I don’t care; those words y’all come up with. Y’all gotta come up with stronger words.”
