Hip-hop star Jay-Z’s talent for extending beyond rap to the executive worlds of music, fashion and other businesses has earned him the top spot on Forbes magazine’s "Hip-Hop Cash Kings" list.
Forbes on Thursday said Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, raked in $US34 million in 2006, the year he released a comeback album Kingdom Come.
But the boyfriend of pop singer Beyonce earned much of that income as chief executive of New York-based Def Jam Recordings, owner of a sports bar franchise and holder of endorsements deals with Budweiser, Hewlett-Packard and General Motors, Forbes said.
In March, Jay-Z, 36, sold his Rocawear fashion label for $US204 million - a sum that will again place him high up in the music world’s earnings for 2007.
