KANYE WEST | $6.6 BILLION
Kanye West has been in the headlines recently as he and Kim Kardashian have their lawyers process their separation. The rapper has chosen to be a bit silent on this issue, and for a good reason. He is one of the industry’s most famous rappers, and his reputation could suffer a dip. Before becoming famous with his own blend of music, West had experimented with various musical genres.
His music, though, is the least that contributed to his $6.6 billion net worth. Most of the money comes from his Yeezy brand, a sneaker and apparel brand worth $3.2 billion. He also has more than $122 million in cash and stock. That is not counting his financial interest in Kardashian’s SKIM’s line. We will need to observe his net worth as, in the next few years, we might see some drastic changes.
