If you’re not familiar with Jay-Z, this is what you need to know: at 51 years-old, he has 22 Grammy awards, is one of raps only billionaire businessmen and is seen as a mentor and supporter of new musical talent, including the late Nipsey Hussle.
And he just happens to be married to one of the most influential musicians of all time, Beyoncé.
All of which is impressive. But, the New-York native has made headlines recently not for his musical talent, or his personal life, but for his skill in business; Jay-Z has just sold 50% of his shares in champagne brand Armand de Brignac – known colloquially as ‘Ace of Spades’ – for a rumoured $300 million.
