The 2009 World Series Champs the New York Yankees celebrate with a grand parade in New York City. Rapper Jay-Z was spotted on Alex Rodriguez's float. Derek Jeter was on a float and the fans were going crazy in the streets. Office buildings threw out tons of ticker tape out their windows to celebrate the Yankees parade. - Jason Winslow / Splash News. Jay-Z thought he was staying in the best room in one of the world's top hotels - until he met a multi-billionaire Russian oligarch. The rapper, real name Shawn Carter, was a regular guest at Manhattan's posh Four Seasons. And he always assumed he was being given the VIP treatment when he checked in. But then he met Mikhail Prokhorov to discuss investing in a basketball team and he found he still had a long way to go. 'I'd been staying there for 10 years, and I always thought I was at the top level,' Jay-Z said.
'But when I met Prokhorov, they took me up to this extra, extra room that I had never even heard of before. Now there's something else to shoot for. There's always an extra level you don't know about.'
Jay-Z has invested in the Brooklyn-based New York Nets basketball team, which Prokhorov, 45, has recently bought. The Russian is said to have a fortune of $13.4 billion.
Forty-year-old Jay-Z, meanwhile, is said to have had a net worth of about $150 million in 2009. Buy Jay Z Tickets & Sell Jay Z Tickets through YourTicketMarket.com. One stop shop to catch your favouite event. Guaranteed, Fast and Secure!
