Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Despite the widespread popularity of hip-hop, it wasn't until 2019 that the genre produced its first billionaire, with Jay-Z claiming the title. While his investments certainly played a role, his net worth crossed the billion-dollar mark in 2019.

Of course, Beyoncé needs no introduction. Her impressive career and earnings ensure she's financially secure, even independently of her marriage to Jay-Z.
