JAY-Z will headline Roots Picnic 2026 with The Roots on May 30th at Philadelphia's Belmont Plateau, marking his first announced live performance since 2019.
Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, has long mentioned his love of luxury timepieces in his songs. You can find references to Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Hublot throughout his decades-long music catalog. He doesn't only flash watches in his lyrics, though. The billionaire rapper, who has a $2.5 billion net worth, has amassed quite a collection of statement timepieces. The $1,075,652 Patek Philippe Grand Complication 5304-301R he wore at the 2025 Grammys was just one of them.

Reports confirm the couple are close to buying a 58-acre site near Wigginton in the Cotswolds, a region known for its rolling hills and privacy. The site already comes with planning permission for a large luxury home, giving the stars a ready-made opportunity to build their UK home.
