2. Jay-Z: $56 Million 

Jay-Z was in entertainment headlines earlier this year because of his involvement in a new streaming service. The parent company for the TIDAL service was purchased by Jay-Z in March of 2015, and how well or how poorly this concept is embraced could have impacts on future business decisions. Jay-Z has reminded all that he is far more than just a man behind the scenes these days, as his performances with wife Beyonce made both performers massive amounts of cash. Outside of music, Jay-Z has sports agency Roc Nation Sports in his portfolio. C.C Sabathia, Dez Bryant and Robinson Cano are just three of the superstars who have relationships with Roc Nation.
