KANYE WEST – $1.26 BILLION
Kanye West now officially joins the billionaire club. The famed rapper has been campaigning to be declared a billionaire, claiming he has over $3 billion net worth. However, Forbes magazine insisted he is only worth $1.26 billion. Now that the known fashion mogul is part of the three comma club, his extravagant lifestyle with his wife, Kim Kardashian, may continue. The two own millions of dollars of luxury cars, real estate investments, and even livestock that is worth $200,000.
Most people know him because of his music (or the recent election). He has won 21 Grammys and sold more than 20 million albums and 140 million singles worldwide. However, most of West’s property does not come from his music but from the footwear and clothing brand Yeezy, which alone can increase his net worth by $1.26 billion. In addition, West also increased property by investing in real estate, ranches, etc. Well, with a lot of businesses here and there, sold-out albums, and hit songs, it is no surprise that Kanye has reached this figure.
