American rapper Kanye West has declared his comeback to the billionaire’s club.
According to West and Eton Venture Services, the rapper’s net worth is now $2.77 billion USD.
Eton Venture Services reported that West’s net worth is calculated using his music portfolio and sole ownership of the YEEZY brand.
Ye’s return to the billionaire’s circle comes years after Forbes declared that he had lost his billionaire title due to the breakdown of his association with Adidas.
On Thursday night, the Yeezy founder took to Instagram to announce his billion-dollar net worth.
Forbes reported in October that Kanye West had lost his billionaire status after Adidas fired him following a series of antisemitic and anti-Black remarks.
After losing his $1.5 billion Adidas agreement, Forbes assessed Kanye West’s net worth to be $400 million, based on real estate, cash, music collections, and a share in Kim Kardashian’s shapewear line. Kanye, on the other hand, contested this, claiming he was worth $3 billion and that his Adidas deal was worth $4.3 billion.
West crowned himself the G.O.A.T. last week after making more than $2 million in 24 hours on his Yeezy website.
The increase occurred following the debut of the $20 Yeezy SLPR. Ye shared the success on Instagram, boasting, “$2,339,096 in 24 hours.”
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
