Kanye West's Yeezy Brand Has Officially Made Him A Billionaire
Just last year West was featured in a Forbes article that evaluated his net worth at $890 million. According to Forbes, West was angry with this evaluation and even claimed that he is worth over $3 billion. After taking another look at his financial reports, music profits, and net revenue with Yeezy, Forbes has determined that Kanye is worth a grand total of $1.3 billion.

Of course, West still isn't happy with this figure and is adamant that Forbes doesn't know how to count. Considering they have been doing this for a long time, we're sure West is simply trying to get his numbers up as a way to truly solidify himself amongst some of the richest people in the entire world.
Regardless, there is no denying that the Yeezy brand is now a goldmine. What was once laughed at is now a billion-dollar empire and West should be proud of that.
