Rapper Kanye is hurtful that his younger sister-in-law Kylie Jenner made it to the billionaire’s list before him. He boasts that he has a net worth of 3 billion dollars.

Forbes estimates it to be around $ 2 billion. So he is a billionaire now no doubt. And this is how this figure is reached.

Yeezy and its remarkable success

Kanye owns 100% of Yeezy. But it is tied for at least five years to Adidas. Adidas manufactures, markets, and distributes shoes. In 2019, it made a revenue of around $ 1.3-1.5 billion.

And, Kanye gets a royalty of 15%. After the exclusion of some expenditures, the figure stands at 11%. Therefore, Yeezy would have given him an income of around over $140 million in 2019.

Royalty Exchange chief Matt Smith states:

“His place in the capital stack is a preferred place to be,”

Kanye West and his glorious singing career and investments

The rapper also earns millions through his music and recording career. As per the documents, he has $ 17 million in cash and $ 35 million in stocks.

Additionally, Kanye has put $ 81 million in real estate in buildings and improvements. And $ 21 million is invested in land. Their LA mansion is a work of art.

Talking about it, Kim had said:

“The house was all him,”
“I’ve never seen anyone that pays such attention to detail.”

Additionally, there are ranches, livestock, and vehicles. He also has a recording label called G. O. O. D. label which is worth $ 90 million now. If we leave the music revenue, half of the rest belongs to his wife Kim.

But he has a debt of around $ 100 million. Totaling everything and misusing the debts and his wife’s share, leaves, us with $ 1.3 billion as his net worth. That confirms that Kanye West has entered the billionaire bracket.
