Jay made the majority of his money through the rocawear sale(204 million), his investments, and the live nation deal(150)(although I thought that was a loan)

I'm not really sure how accurate these lists are though

That 204 mill wasn't just jay. 3 people owned rocawear.

Actual cash money probably birdman cause he seem ignorant enough to have millions in cash. Euro hov probably got bonds and shyt like that.

It was about the time Jay had been offered the CEO gig at music label Def Jam, a job that Dash thought should rightfully have been his. Nonetheless, they were still partners in Rocawear, which was successful and growing. But their relationship had lately Paris-and-Nicoled. They were no longer congenital, "two brothers in the afterlife," as they'd once been tagged by other close friends. But they were still on the same page in the business. Says Dash, "It was me and Jay and the two Russians voting on every decision, and I controlled the vote, because I always had Jay's vote." The two Russians were Alex Bize and Norton Cher, old-school clothing slingers from Manhattan's garment district who ran the day-to-day operations.

"But one day," Dash says, "they brought me to a hotel." He takes his time with the story, replays it daintily. It's clear that reliving the scene is as painful as it is ebulliently cathartic. "I said, 'Why are we meeting at a hotel?' and it was because they didn't want anyone to hear me yelling. That was the day they told me they didn't want [celebrity photographer] Mario Testino to shoot the ads." Instead, they were going with someone cheaper, and they were going in a different direction altogether.

"Here the Russians were telling me how to cater to my people! I wanted [Rocawear] to be sold at Bergdorf Goodman's, not Dr. Jay's!" says Dash.

"In the end, Steve Stoute was making money off them. Jay stopped listening to me and started listening to him." Shortly thereafter, Jay-Z made their separation formal when he bought out Dash's stake in Rocawear for $30 million. Dash shakes his animated bobblehead at all of it. It just doesn't make sense — Jay trashed Rocawear, their baby.

500m songs, not albums breh.

Just on Wayne alone since Carter 1

Carter 1 - Gold x 21 songs = 10.5m songs
Carter 2 - 2x plat x 22 songs = 22m songs
Carter 3 - 3x plat x 16 songs = 48m songs
Carter 4 - 2x plat x 15 songs = 30m songs

That's 110m songs just for Wayne on 4 albums. It really ain't all that serious breh

In comparison, Michael Jackson sold 261m songs just off of Thriller

Plus hot boyz, big tymers, ace hood, mack-10, Jay Sean, dj khaled, tyga, busta rhymes etc. I don't know if the story is true or not but it's possible. 200,000 here plat there, it all adds up. They have a huge roster and even though every single don't jump off it's still a sale. If they count Cool and Dre and other producers signed to them it's probably true.

Don't tell me you think they sold half a billion albums

Cash Money Records has another award to add to their ever-growing track list of accolades. Started by brothers Bryan “Birdman” and Ronald “Slim” Williams, over 10 years ago, these are proud to have received an achievement for selling 500 million songs worldwide.

The popular record label has had a successful reign in the music and social media industry since their existence. Cash Money Records has over 150 million followers collectively throughout Facebook, instagram, and twitter with 2.5 billion views on youtube, making them one of the most popular record labels on the internet.

The record label adds only the best on its roster to continue its legacy of delivering the best music, videos, and shows to its fans. It comes as no surprise that Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tyga, and other artist affiliated within this company have helped out tremendously with its success. Not to forget the collaborative success with other artist outside of the label.

Birdman said:
"There is no more dynamic and prolific a label than Cash Money Records and the YMCMB family - point blank. We're proud of every one of our artists and their contribution to our legacy,”

“What's most humbling is the global reaction to our story. Slim and I built this label from the ground up and seeing our brand connect with people across borders, culture and language makes us appreciate every one of our fans worldwide. We can't wait to deliver another 500 million bangers”.
It comes as no surprise that their success is what continues to push Birdman and Slim and the success won’t let them quit.
