Jay Z Gives Staff $50,000 Each

Multi-platinum selling rapper and shrewd businessman, Jay Z may be inching towards that billionaire spot on the Forbes list if his latest strategic power moves indicate anything.

The rapper was recently spotted at Facebook HQ with founder billionaire Mark Zuckerberg.  Also making the rounds in the blogs is the fact that Jay Z just gave his employees an N8 million ($50,000) bonus.

According to Showbiz Spy:

The star — who recently released his 12th solo album, Magna Carta… Holy Grail, gave all of his employees a $50,000 bonus.

“Earlier this year he handed out $50,000 bonuses to everyone in his company, which includes assistants and very low-level people,” a Jay-Z employee tells Star. “He even promised another bonus for Christmas.

“He’s extremely generous — most celebrities are supercheap when it comes to running their businesses.

“He knows if his employees are happy, it will benefit him in the long run. His only demand was for everyone to have fun with the money.”
