The company also used their phones to promote Jay-Z’s newest album and purchased 1 million copies to give away to Samsung Galaxy smartphone users for free, adding another $5 million bonus to the already lucrative deal. He has accumulated a fortune that has made him one of the few entertainers to become a billionaire. His financial kingdom is expansive and comprises ventures in liquor, art, stakes in Uber, and real estate.
