Music mogul JAY-Z and Kylie Jenner have more in common than people think. The high-profile entertainers are reportedly knotted up on Forbes‘ Wealthiest American Celebrities of 2018.
Young Hov and Jenner secured No. 5 behind filmmakers George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jordan with $900 million in net worth.
The biggest dollar gainer among existing listees is Jay-Z ($900 million), who ties with Jenner for the fifth spot. His net worth is up $90 million from 2017’s figure thanks to lucrative stakes in companies including Armand de Brignac champagne and D’Ussé cognac, plus holdings in his entertainment empire Roc Nation and streaming service Tidal.

A majority of Jenner’s net worth stems from her popular signature cosmetics line.
On Tuesday, the 21-year-old made her first-ever appearance on Forbes’ Wealthiest Celebrities in America list, landing at No. 5 with a net worth of $900 million. Though Jenner has her hands in everything from reality TV to lucrative endorsement deals, most of her money comes from Kylie Cosmetics—a wildly popular beauty company of which she has 100 percent ownership.

A few months ago, Jenner raised eyebrows after gracing the cover of Forbes’ billionaire issue.
Over the summer she became the face of Forbes’ August cover which was headlined ‘America’s Women Billionaires.’ Kylie Cosmetics started off selling just lip kits, but it has since expanded to include concealer, eye shadow, and blush products. In May, sister Kim Kardashian interviewed Kylie about why her beauty business has been so successful. (Daily Mail)
