Kanye West has made a triumphant return to the billionaire club, revealing his jaw-dropping net worth of $2.77 billion.
This announcement comes courtesy of Eton Venture Services, which credited the valuation to Kanye’s music catalog and complete ownership of his iconic YEEZY brand.
West’s comeback to billionaire status is especially significant after he was dropped from Forbes’ list due to the fallout from his high-profile split with Adidas. The partnership ended following controversial remarks, significantly impacting his finances at the time.

A Bold Declaration
Taking to Instagram, Kanye proudly shared the news of his financial resurgence. This isn’t the first time the rapper has challenged Forbes’ evaluations. Following their previous estimate of his net worth at $400 million after losing his Adidas deal, Kanye had pushed back, asserting his wealth far exceeded their calculations.
Back in October, Forbes based its assessment on real estate, cash, his music portfolio, and his stake in Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand, Skims. Kanye, however, argued that his Adidas collaboration alone was worth $4.3 billion, a claim he stood by even after the partnership ended.
Yeezy’s Meteoric Sales
Last week, Kanye proved his staying power by generating over $2 million in just 24 hours from Yeezy’s latest release, the $20 Yeezy SLPR. Sharing the milestone online, he declared, “$2,339,096 in 24 hours,” cementing his self-proclaimed status as the greatest of all time (G.O.A.T).
From music to fashion, Kanye West continues to break barriers and redefine what success looks like in the entertainment and business worlds.
