Jay-Z lost $1 million on Wednesday, June 11 after the Indiana Pacers won Game 3 of the NBA Finals after betting that the Oklahoma City Thunder would win the series in five games

Jay-Z's pockets might be feeling a bit lighter after Wednesday night (June 11). Hov's $1 million bet on the Oklahoma City Thunder to defeat the Indiana Pacers in exactly five games officially became a loss after the Pacers' game three victory to take a 2-1 lead in the 2025 NBA Finals.

With a net worth of $2.5 billion, Jay-Z probably isn't losing sleep over losing the bet. That being said, it's safe to say that he isn't thrilled with Wednesday night's outcome and the media coverage that comes with losing that much money on a bet.
