Kanye West Becomes Wealthiest Black Man.
The popular Rapper and Politician, Kanye West fresh off his 22nd Grammy win and tying the record for most awards by a hip hop artist, #KanyeWest is making headlines once again in a major way to the tune of billions.
According to reports, Kanye West is apparently now worth $6.6 BILLION easily making him the wealthiest Black man in American history, thanks to his incredibly popular Yeezy brand, and his previously announced Gap deal.
It was reported that Kanye West is rolling in billions but much more than he has in the past.
Kanye’s a crowd-pleasing sneaker and apparel brand Yeezy is now valued at $3.2 billion to $4.7 billion by UBS Group AG, according to a private document reviewed by Bloomberg.
Ye’s huge partnership with Gap (set to officially arrive this summer) is also said to possibly be worth as much as $970 million of that multi-billion-dollar total.
