Obviously Hollywood is made for exaggerated storylines however in the real world Ray J is a bonafide entrepreneur. Last year, he was able to avoid a $30 million lawsuit over his Raytroniks Corporation’s electronic scooter brand, ScootEBike. As luck, preparation & opportunity would have it, in 2020, according to The Source, ScootEBike is expected to earn over $200 million in revenue. These high projections are a result of Raytroniks signing a deal with the Canadian ride-sharing company, LOOPShare, to expand its reach over the market of sustainable urban transportation. Ray J will reportedly earn $34 million from the partnership and receive over 18 million common shares in LOOPShare.
