The agency has already signed stars like Robinson Cano and Kevin Durant. Jay even
ditched his stake in the Brooklyn Nets so he could represent basketball players.
So you can see we are not about to Famz the 43 year old, He's a sportsman inside and a rapper outside.
Daddy Ivy's lifestyle — the houses, hanging out with Obama, getting married to BEYONCE — makes him an 'aspirational' figure for young athletes and the biggest sports agent in the world.
He broke into the sports world by buying a stake of the Brooklyn Nets.
His share was a actually shockingly small 0.067% (worth about $355,000).
But he was still a huge part of the branding of the team, and the "Nets owner" label stuck despite how small his ownership stake was.
He sold his stake in the team in May so he could start a sports agency called Roc Nation Sports.
Despite only being in existence for a few months, Roc Nation has signed a bunch of high-profile talent.

He's worth an estimated $475 million.
He has made 12 platinum albums, but most of his wealth has nothing to do with music.
He sold Rocawear for $204 million and has deals with Budweiser, Samsung, and Duracell.
