Despite Lil Wayne’s claims, Jay-Z is widely considered the best rapper
living. His talent has afforded the former Marcy Projects resident
trips to St. Tropez and luxury apartments in New York City. As nice as
the money is for Jigga, he gives charitable donations to different
organizations. Or does he?
According to reports, hip-hop’s biggest figure only gave his own
charity, The Shawn Carter Foundation, $6,431 in 2010. Jay-Z walked
home with $67 million that year. In the same year, Beyonce made $87
million, after taxes, and contributed nary a copper penny to her
husband’s scholarship foundation.
Carter did just perform two sold out shows at Carnegie Hall where the
proceeds were split between The Shawn Carter Foundation and the United
Way of New York. Tickets ranged in price from $150 – $15,000. We know
the total amount of ticket sales raised a nice sum of money for the
charities, but exactly how much is actually going to the charities?
