Jay-Z, often called the world’s richest musician, has hit back at critics of billionaires in a recent interview with GQ. The rapper argued that linking a person’s morality to their net worth is a “convenient excuse.”

According to Forbes, Jay-Z’s net worth is estimated at around $2.8 billion. But the artist stresses that money doesn’t determine whether someone is a good or bad person. “Morality isn’t measured by the amount in your bank account. If you say all millionaires are bad, then where do you draw the line? At $999,000 you’re good, but at $1 million you’re suddenly bad? It doesn’t make sense,” he said.

Jay-Z also pointed out that having substantial wealth can actually increase one’s ability to help others. He highlighted that he has already used his influence and resources to support projects that benefited many people.

Addressing the common notion that “all billionaires are bad,” Jay-Z argued that people behave as they choose, regardless of wealth. He criticized such views as an oversimplification of a larger issue. “People demonize this group instead of fixing the system itself. Money can amplify a person’s qualities, but it doesn’t create them,” he added.

Most of Jay-Z’s fortune comes from business ventures: he sold stakes in the champagne brand Armand de Brignac to LVMH and in D’Ussé cognac to Bacardi. He is also co-founder of Roc Nation and owns assets in music, art, and tech, including shares in Uber and the streaming service Tidal.

Jay-Z is married to Beyoncé, who Forbes has also recognized as a billionaire, with an estimated net worth of around $1 billion.
