Kanye West is now the wealthiest Black American ever,
Rapper-slash-fashion designer Kanye West is now the wealthiest Black American ever, according to an estimate from Bloomberg News that places his net worth at well beyond $6 billion.
That figure includes West's Yeezy clothing and shoe deal with Adidas and Gap, which investment bank UBS valued at $3.2 billion to $4.7 billion. Bloomberg also estimated that West has $122 million in cash or stock, along with a $110 million music catalog and $1.7 billion in other investments. Sales of Yeezy's Adidas sneakers grew 31% during the coronavirus pandemic to annual revenue of nearly $1.7 billion last year, netting West $191 million in royalties, Bloomberg said in citing UBS. West's status as a billionaire is a far cry from where the Chicago-born college dropout found himself five years ago. West, 43, told BET News that he was $53 million in debt in 2016. About $16 million of that came from trying to get Yeezy up-and-running, West said. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kanye-west-bloomberg-net-worth-6-billion/ |

I always liked Robin Williams on divorce. Said it was having your wallet expertly removed through your testicles. Or something like that...

I couldn't pick him out of a lineup if he held a sign that said, "I did it."
I am so ignorant of pop culture...

Don't know any of his songs, or anything about him, other than south park made fun of him and that he made a total ass of himself at some awards show.

Oh he deserves it alright.
Imagine becoming part of the Kardashian family just to get the publicity. And having to put up with their antics. AND worse still, being married to Kim and being expected to have sex with her

America has always had the most successful Black people in the world.
(Just sayin but that right there squashes the systemic racism claims IMO) But to be honest I'd be surprised if he's actually worth that much. - Makes you wonder were they get their figures from.
