Forbes provided a “real-time” update of Hov’s net worth on Friday (March 24), Hov was ranked as the 1,203rd richest person on the planet.
With $216.1 billion, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton CEO Bernard Arnault tops that list.
Forbes estimates JAY-Z’s net worth at $2.5 billion, almost doubling last year’s $1.4 billion.
The publication has not explained the large increase, although it is likely due to the rap mogul’s successful sale of his D’USSÉ cognac brand.
Bacardi, D’USSÉ’s parent firm, bought JAY-Z’s 50 percent interest for $750 million in February.
