Jay-Z’s expensive taste is worth a fortune — but it's for a good cause.
The billionaire rapper’s D’ussé Cognac sold for more than $50,000 at Sotheby’s over the weekend, with the money raised going towards his charity organization, the Shawn Carter Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to mentoring students.
The Grande Champagne Cognac, called "Bottle No. 1," is a limited edition spirit from 1969. It’s stored in an opulent, diamond-shaped bottle with an engraved signature from the "Empire State of Mind" rapper himself.
