Jay Z ranks third in the race to $1 billion; his net worth now stands at $610 million. The Brooklyn-born rapper boasts a broad range of holdings, but it’s his Tidal streaming service that made him this year’s biggest gainer on paper. Cash Money chief#Birdman ranks fourth with $110 million, down a tick from last year due to turmoil within his empire. Newcomer #Drake comes in at number 5 with a net worth of $60 million thanks to cash from touring, music and deals with the likes of Nike, Sprite and Apple.
