What do Paris Hilton, Drake and Jay Z Have in Common?

READ TIME: 2 MIN.

All three of them are entertainers and, more specifically, two are rappers, but they are very different in terms of personality. They work extensively in public life to maintain their profiles, but there are some specifics that connect Paris Hilton, Drake and Jay Z.

Like all celebrities at the top of their fame, all three work with major brands to promote their products and services. On occasions, there is a crossover between certain entertainers, and they will occasionally work with the same producer. Is that the case with our three named stars, or have they backed different products across their careers?

Liking a Flutter

A good example of their common interests comes in the world of casino play. This is where the ambassador work of Paris Hilton, Drake and Jay Z cross over. As part of their series of endorsements, many actors and musicians work with traditional and sweeps casinos to build their portfolio. Some work as ambassadors for the brands and that is the case with two of the three names in question here.

In the case of Paris Hilton, she is a brand ambassador for the Wow Vegas casino and sportsbook. Canadian rapper Drake is a little more involved as he is onboard as a partner at Stake. Jay Z has yet to fully commit to any particular operator, but it's known that he is looking at the possibility of opening a physical casino on New York's iconic Times Square.

Back in 2023, the artist outlined his plans for the venue, along with details of the partners that would be backing him. Those plans have yet to be finalized, but it's clear that this is a passion for Jay Z and it's likely that a casino will be among his future targets.

Paris' Preferences

It's not surprising that Paris Hilton appears in advertisements for the family chain of hotels. She remains the face of the Hilton group and is used wisely in promotion campaigns.

Among the many other products she endorses are Taco Bell, Grey Goose, Klarna and Marc Jacobs. She's a busy woman, and the tie in with Wow Vegas accounts for just a percentage of her work.

Backing the Brand

Jay Z has enhanced his considerable net worth through business endorsements with familiar high street brands. The rapper has worked on behalf of Budweiser, Hewlett Packard, Hublot, Reebok and Bing, among others.

In 2013, Drake was confirmed as the global ambassador for the Toronto Raptors NBA team. Linking in with sports teams is another popular option for celebrities, but it's not his only area of business. Other significant endorsements include Burger King, Apple Music, OVO Sound and Airbnb.

While there is no duplication of products between Paris Hilton, Drake and Jay Z, all three are busy in the area of brand promotion, and they are not alone.

Virtually every major athlete, actor and musician has a portfolio of products that they promote. The brands in question seek out high profile names as endorsements, and are happy to pay premium prices in return.

So, next time you consider three random celebrities, they may have more in common than you first thought.
