The smart move would be to leave the money he made in the bank. Floyd Mayweather learned this from going broke once and will never be broke again. He keeps most of his money liquid and makes sure he has more coming in every month than going out. It's that simple.
Everyone thinks they are warren buffet and going flip their money. 9 times out of 10 they loose money and would have been better off just sitting on the capital and living off the interest. With 10 million you are set for life. Just live a on a reasonable budget.

He did keep it most of the artists under a different name, he changed it like 3 times. DD music group, ROC something, roc something else.
Kanye, Free, Chris and Neef plus Bleek went to Def Jam the rest with Dame.
But everyone left dame kinda quick.
These were grown men you couldn’t force Bleek and Ye to go with Dame.
Now if Jay-z left for another label like Atlantic and didn’t wanna sign whoever wanted to sign with him. And literally gave Dame his shares for free. Then maybe that would work. But I have a hard time seeing def jam wanting to be partners with Dame.
People forget that Def Jam owned 50% of the roc, Dame 16.6%, he talked like it was the opposite
They didn’t own 50 percent of the Roc. It was a partnership where they distributed and got 50 percent of the profits. The contract with them ended in 2003. At some point Jay Z sold his shares and then bought them back or something around 2010 or 2011 if I recall. It’s why Watch the Throne came out under Rocafella Records.
Nope, they sold 50% of the LLC in 1997, Def Jam bought the remaining 50 % in 2004 and Jay became CEO. The sign-on bonus was his catalogue. Kanye while on Def Jam until 2013, released all his music under the Roc-a-fella brand, as did Jay, but also Freeway and Jada. Basically they only "relaunched" the brand for Jay and Kanye releases in the end.
Google is extremely close to the button where you press "reply" to comments.
Jay Z was not releasing his music under Rocafella in 2013, you have the nerve to tell someone to press Google and said something like that. I get that we’re on the internet but being cordial in convos goes a much longer way when someone isn’t being belligerent. The internet has broken people’s brains.
But maybe you should press Google and realize how wrong you were and humble yourself to not try to pop shyt on the internet that you would dare utter in any legitimate business room without being laughed at. Maybe you should read up about the specifics of how that deal actually worked while you’re at it - Dame and co., maintained full creative control the entire time and the distribution deal ended in 2003. Dame could move like that because they weren’t “signed” to Def Jam like other artists. Dudes argue with half truths.

Exactly. This fukking guy. Needs to go back to making videos about how he eats good with big plates.
fukking crumb.
This man is really trying to challenge me on Jay-z
It's annoying, making it hard to be cordial, don't know if you are trolling or not.
Def Jam owned 100 % of Roc-a-fella, Jay-z released an album and they "allowed" him to use the Roc-a-fella brand, but it was still Universal/Def Jam distributing it when he did individual album distribution deals with them.
