Nas Has a Stake in Coinbase Worth $175M

[Mr swag]

Why would you assume Nas invested $500,000?

He very well could have, but that number seems to be pulled out of nowhere.

I'm remember tariq saying that Nas was just as rich as diddy and jay. This was like 5 years ago also.

This was supposed to be an album at one point, right?

Yep

his final Columbia album before he leveraged his way out and onto Def Jam

Wait until y'all hear about his Robinhood investment.

Wait until y'all hear about his Robinhood investment.

Robinhood, Dropbox, Ring, Parachute, SeatGeek, General Assembly, Casper, Pillpack and Pluto TV


But let the coli tell it. He only put about $10K in each of them even as an angel investor

 

[Metal Face]

when is Nas cutting his stans a check

 

[UpAndComing]

They both doing good. Jay probably enjoys being a businessman and looking at balance sheets, P/L statements, marketing etc.

Nas is a straight up artist who would rather not deal with business headaches. Just pick the right investments and watch his money grow. I prefer Nas' method, but that's just me.

I have friends that hit me up about buying rental property or flipping houses and I'm like, 'I'm good. It's too much of a headache. I'd rather take the same money and put in the market and watch my money grow.

Venture Capital is slightly different than investing in Stocks though

Point I was trying to make was he is not running the day to day. Jay is involved day to day in his businesses and he probably enjoys it.

What did Nas comeback from?

the song "Braveheart Party"

It's all in the valuation

Scenario: $10k at a $50M valuation for a company now worth $100B

Do the math
