In today’s “I’m richer than you” news, Jay Z
acquired Armand de Brignac Champagne also known as the really expensive
gold bottle no one besides Jay Z can afford. You’ve seen the luxurious
drink in many of his videos or heard of by its other name, Ace Of
Spades.
“We are proud to announce that Sovereign Brands, a New York-based wine and spirits
company owned by the Berish family, has sold its interest in the Armand
de Brignac (‘Ace of Spades’) Champagne brand to a new company led by
the globally renowned Shawn ‘Jay Z’ Carter,” Sovereign Brands said in a
statement.
“We have had a
wonderful relationship with Jay Z throughout the years since he first
discovered Armand de Brignac. He became interested in owning the brand
and made us an offer we simply couldn’t refuse,” Yvonne Lardner, global
director of brand communications for Sovereign, told The New York Times.
According to Rap-Up, “A bottle of Armand de Brignac Brut Gold sells for $300. A 30-liter bottle, which is equivalent to 40 regular bottles, retails for over $200,000.”
In other Jay Z news, the Roc Nation honcho was accused of stealing music from Joel Mac,
a street peddler, who claims he sold his disc to a man named Mike Dean
outside of the hotel Jay Z and Kanye West were recording their album
“Watch The Throne.” Mac filed a federal lawsuit against Hov and Mac
wants to be cut in on a portion of their profits. Good luck with that.
