You don't know if Em is or not. It's just that he's chosen to keep everything about the music. It's not like he's tried huge ventures and failed, so you can't say he's not good.
The amount of movies, endorsements and god knows what else he must of turned down over the years must amount to a stupendous amount of money. And it just speaks volumes for his integrity, but if he embraced it all, he would easily surpass Jay's wealth.
