Video Description

So we already know these artists are rich, but let’s look at exactly how they built billion-dollar empires and how they finessed the record labels. Jay-Z basically took over the music industry and Taylor Swift became one of the most powerful business women in the world. In this video, I'm breaking down how they became richer than the executives who signed them, the business moves that made labels angry, and why the same industry that created them now sees them as a threat. _______________________ Buy me a drink and support the channel... *CashApp | https://cash.app/$jaydiggsmusic *PayPal | https://paypal.me/jaydiggsent _______________________ ➤ Stream/Download my album: https://ffm.to/jams _______________________ ➤ Follow Jay Diggs: https://www.instagram.com/jaydiggsmusic/ https://www.tiktok.com/@jaydiggsmusic https://x.com/jaydiggsmusic https://www.jaydiggs.com ______________________ ➤ Products and Gear Used in this video: Oberheim OBX8 Synthesizer ➡︎ https://amzn.to/3Odznpo Sony ZV-E10 Camera ➡︎ https://amzn.to/3OwlP9U Rode Wireless Pro II Microphone ➡︎ https://amzn.to/44WOJFw Amaran 100d Video Light ➡︎ https://amzn.to/3DwLg4W RGB LED Lights ➡︎ https://amzn.to/3Yp1N4J _______________________ ➤ Sponsorship and business inquiries: [email protected] _______________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Richest Artists In The Music Industry 00:33 Chance The Rapper 04:26 Jay-Z 08:28 Taylor Swift 13:08 Frank Ocean 17:21 Rihanna 20:26 Drake 23:26 Beyonce 26:37 Russ 30:41 How to build your own wealth #jayz #drake #money
