Jadakiss (Real name Jason Phillips) is a new York-born rap artist whose net worth is estimated to be around $6 million. He caught the eyes of scouts when he excelled in the "Jack The Rapper Competition". A few years later, Jadakiss and his group The Lox were signed by Bad Boy Entertainment but later moved to Ruff Ryders label.

He later moved to Def Jam Records although his stay there came to a quick end, forcing him to return to Ruff Ryders in 2010. Much of his fortune is derived from his music, where he has released several albums. He recorded his new solo album after he released an album with The Lox called Money, Power and Respect.

He was born on 27/5/1975 in New York. He was a freestyle rapper when he was 16 years age. His parents told him to start earning his money at a very young age, upon which he went to the street and was introduced to doing freestyles for money.
