Nearly $7 million

Posted by Robin on 27 August 2022 3 Comments

A Manhattan judge has ordered a perfume company to pay Jay-Z nearly $7 million in unpaid royalties for his fragrance Gold Jay Z.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Andrew Borrok ruled Thursday that perfume company Parlux owes Jay-Z $6.78 million in unpaid royalties, including interest.

    I was really interested to see how’s this played out. The real loser though is my coworker who totally loved this fragrance and can’t find a bottle for under $120 now. 🥲

      (coumarin) there are VERY good dups of both jayz gold and jayz gold extreme available for about $4 (I own them both (randomly to your comment and this story) One is 10ft away right now on a shelf and I used it 2 days ago.) There is an entire industry up in NJ that cranks this sorta stuff out. Direct messaging isn’t possible here and i dont think i can (or should) post a link so I guess there isn’t much of a comment I can make unless Robin gives me an ok (i’m not related to any seller and i’ve had a login for probably 5yrs here). Your friend can easily load up on a lifetime supply from one of these places if you find them.
