Rapper Kanye West’s wealth increased to 6.6 billion USD
Kanye is literally sitting on a pile of money.
Kanye West – a rapper born in 1977 who caused a stir last year when he ran for US President himself and is currently in the spotlight with his divorce from Kim Kardashian. While the rapper has not yet completed the divorce proceedings, Us Weekly reported that his wealth has increased rapidly thanks to his Yeezy fashion brand.
The 44-year-old rapper’s clothing and sneaker business empire is currently worth between $3.2-4.7 billion, according to information from Bloomberg. A news report released on March 17 said that the total assets of Kanye West had skyrocketed to $6.6 billion. Last April, Kanye West was listed as a USD billionaire for the first time by Forbes magazine.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian once created an empire that made a lot of money in American showbiz.
Last year, Kanye West signed a 10-year apparel design and sales deal with the Yeezy Gap label. Currently, the male rapper still retains full ownership and creative rights with this company. In addition to the golden egg-laying hen Yeezy, Kanye West also makes money from the music industry as well as 1.7 USD from other fields, including ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand.
The couple officially filed for divorce in February after nearly 7 years of marriage and having 4 children together. The rapper moved out of the couple’s shared house before last Christmas. Kardashian is currently negotiating to share custody of her children with Kanye West. Because they both own a large amount of assets, the media predicts that the dispute over dividing Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s assets will not be simple.
