The Knowles-Carter Family – $1.3B
Shawn Corey Carter, better known as Jay-Z, along with his pop queen Beyoncé, have together breached a fortune that tops the richest American musical families list. The couple’s combined riches hit around $1.3 billion, much of it stemming from Jay-Z’s entrepreneurship in the music industry and his attached record label called Roc Nation, as well as Beyonce being the absolute megastar that she is. Plenty of massively-successful artists and their chart-topping albums have the rapper-turned-producer to thank. The power couple happily travel the globe, both on musical tours and with investments in mind.

The West Family – $1.5B
The eccentric rapper and clothing brand owner Kanye West might be relatively sound in the music department, his releases topping most of his contemporaries’ performances, but his streaming service Tidal, and Yeezy, his clothing brand, often suffer from Kanye’s questionable direction, hurting his net worth. Kanye poured much of his individual funds towards launching the exclusive Yeezy. In 2019, Yeezy was esteemed at over one billion dollars, matching his glamorous wife Kim Kardashian’s evaluation. Pairing this sum with his extraneous financial interests amount to a personal net worth of $1.5 billion.
