Mr. Agent Jay-Z

Musician and Businessman Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z is now officially certified by the National Basketball Players Association.  His certification includes the ability to negotiate player contracts.  The NBPA agreed to certify Mr. Carter in June, however he needed to sell his minority stake in the NBA team, the Brooklyn Nets.  The NBA received official confirmation that Mr. Carter sold his stake to new head coach and former NBA Point Guard, Jason Kidd, thus leading to his official certification.  Jay-Z's official agency is known as Roc Nation Sports.

Jay-Z has developed a terrific business model to follow, and is one of the most successful businessmen out there right now.  Not only does he control a life that many dream of, but also controls it terrifically.

  1. I think what sets him apart as an agent is that he is certified in not one but 3 of the 4 major sports leagues. You usually see an agent just stick to one sport.
