Kanye West Declares He’s Worth Over $2 Billion, Forbes Estimation Differs

Kanye West‘s financial portfolio may be “Stronger” than anyone realizes … the rapper is declaring he’s a billionaire again — and claims to have proof.

The “Heartless” artist shared an update on his net worth on Instagram Thursday evening, when he posted a statement from Eton Ventures, a business valuation company … which claimed Bianca Censori‘s husband was now worth $2.77 billion.

Per the statement, the company came to this valuation based on his “music portfolio” and Ye’s “sole ownership of the Yeezy mark.”

If Kanye’s worth has actually skyrocketed to $2.77B, he’s now surpassed his former bestie Jay-Z‘s own net worth … which Forbes lists as $2.5 billion. He also exceeds ex-wife Kim Kardashian‘s fortune by a whopping $1 billion and change … as Forbes reports she’s currently worth $1.7 billion.

If accurate, this isn’t the first time Kanye has reached billionaire status, but he was stripped of the title back in 2022 … after his Yeezy partnership with Adidas came to an end following antisemitic remarks from the rapper.

At the time, Forbes approximated the fashion collaboration made up around $1.5 billion of Ye’s then-$2 billion net worth. They recalculated his value to the $400M estimation after the Adidas fallout.

It wasn’t just Adidas either, as several brands ended their deals with Ye following his antisemitic comments and his “White Lives Matter” T-shirts at Paris Fashion Week in 2022.

Ye certainly felt the sting at the time … telling us last year that he was close to going bankrupt, but was pulling himself out of the financial hole. He’s since released a number of new songs … and unloaded a money pit of a home, too.
