four biggest celebrity investors KutcherThe former star of “Two and a Half Men” and “That ’70s Show” is the most active investor of anyone on the list.

According to a report from CB Insights, Kutcher has put money into startups like Airbnb, Bebo and Box. Of his massive number of investments, 61 of those, or $1.61 billion, is in software companies.

He’s also invested in apps, about $378.7 million, and digital media, about $26.8 million.

But in looking at different sectors, Kutcher is invested in just about all of them and is in the top 10 in the amount invested.

That makes Ashton Kutcher one of the four biggest celebrity investors.

His $1.49 billion is sprinkled over 188 different investments.

Of those investments, $539.3 million is in software companies. Jones has 67 total investments in the software space.

He also has almost $200 million invested in finance companies and nearly $60 million invested in app development.

Jones’ venture fund QueensBridge Venture Partners has invested in clothing platforms like Totspot and FitMob.

His diverse and impressive portfolio makes Nasir “Nas” Jones one of the four biggest celebrity investors.



4 Biggest Celebrity Investors and How They Grow Their Money

Are they adding together the valuations of all of the companies they're invested in or are they saying Ashton's and Nas's VC funds have managed to pick up over a $1B in outside investments each?

 

[S.W.A.G.]

“Let’s assume Nas invested $500K”

Based off what?

Series B - Coinbase - 2013-12-12 - Crunchbase Funding Round Profile

Nas came in at Series B at a raise of 25m so AH prob led the round with Union Ventures, then Nas and Dan Gross prob picked up the rest. I think AH prob put in 15, UV maybe 5, and then 2.5 each Nas' team and Dan. Who knows the numbers though, but speculating. Nas has other partners so he may have no put in all the money, but I think 500k to 2m is likely, hopefully he put in more!

I thought could been called Nas Daq/Dow Jones

• Investor corporate luxury rap, but he gone bring the introspective conscious aspect to it, and somehow add a bit of street elements to it.....probably do a special track where he compares global stock markets to the hoods in the those same countries......

^^^^That's how I imagined it anyway.

Probably would be more black empowerment through wealth building, and would probably be easy on the fukkery and corruption in the system

Dont let SOHH and 50 stans fool you into thinking that Nas is broke. Nas outlasted all of his peers and made these "boss" rappers look useless.

 

[SwizzLake]

when is Nas cutting his stans a check

We've been hearing for years from Sohh days that Nas is broke, a bad business man...Give the fans an opportunity to celebrate the success, damn.
