Forbes just declared Kanye West the newest billionaire.
I know, we are equally surprised because we thought he made it on the list way back from his music and of course the sale of Yeezy’s.
Forbes Magazine published an article on Friday stating that Kanye provided the necessary declamation to prove his worth which is 1.3 billion.
According to Forbes, a break down of his worth is as follows:
Mr. West has $17 million in cash, $35 million in stocks, $81 million in ‘buildings and improvements’ and $21 million in land.
Yeezy’s a collaboration with Adidas has a revenue worth of around $1.3 billion which makes him earn around $140 million from last year’s sales. That is a true Billionaire.

Forbes stated that has been a back and forth period for him to be featured on the list to a point he questioned if his race was what stopped them from featuring him.
Now he joins his sister in law Kylie Jenner who has been on the list twice. She was even featured as the youngest self-made billionaire by Forbes.
