A decade ago, Jay-Z showed rappers how to turn their hustle into a multimillion dollar industry. Building his name as a rapper, Jay-Z had worked with various companies for clothing and music. By 2003, Jay-Z had an ownership stake in the Nets and he launched the 40/40 Club in New York City.
In 2003, Jay-Z debuted his businesses and he rapped about them on his lyrics. He boasted about these businesses on his songs and soon other people began rapping about what Jay-Z had going on. Ten years later, the 40/40 Club remains a popular hangout, especially the one in New York City.
Jay-Z, according to rumors, has $250,000 set aside for the club. With the ten-year anniversary coming up shortly, Jay-Z is rumored to be going all out for the ten year celebration. Beyonce is also in town for this upcoming party, although no official announcement has taken place yet.
