Kanye West is letting his fans know that he’s back in his bag! The rapper took to Instagram this week to update everyone on his net worth, and to no surprise, he’s touting his billionaire status.
The business mogul shared a report by the valuation company Eton Venture Services, which states that he has officially become a billionaire again. It read, “In 2025, Kanye’s net worth will be $2.77 billion, as confirmed by Eton Venture Services. The estimate is based on his music portfolio and sole ownership of the Yeezy trademark,” the statement said.
The new estimate of his wealth comes after he experienced a serious financial blow back in 2022. Following a series of anti-Semitic statements made by the rapper, the controversies led to his financial downfall. While companies such as Def Jam, JP Morgan Chase, and Balenciaga condemned his actions, it was the termination of his large-scale partnership with Adidas that hit him the hardest.

Adidas has been a huge partner for Kanye’s Yeezy brand. According to Forbes, around that rocky year, Kanye officially lost his billionaire status. Per the outlet, his wealth decreased from $2 billion to $400 million.
Kanye’s claimed billionaire status now puts him ahead of his former bestie Jay-Z’s net worth, as well as his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s fortune, by a whopping $1 billion and change.
After taking a much-needed break from the Internet, Kanye has since returned by promoting his new music and his clothing from his Yeezy brand, as well as his new brands.
On Monday (Jan 13), he revealed how much money his clothing brand made in 2024. “I don’t collab. No paid ads,” he wrote in a since-deleted post. “I am the Yon. Yeezy over everything. If you design and don’t work at Yeezy, close your dirty a** laptop and go to bed.” This caption accompanied a note that claimed he made $2,339,096 in revenue. In a follow-up post, he went on to declare,
“THE GOAT OF ALL GOATS OF ANY GOAT THAT WAS EVER GOATED,” the Chicago producer wrote, citing his success as a rapper, producer, album maker, designer, and more. “YOUR FAVORITE GOATS FAVORITE GOAT. YOUR DADS DAD TELL YA MOM YOU GOT A NEW DAD […] THEY TOLD YOU I WAS DEAD BROKE CLONED. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A CLONE? I DON’T TAKE ADVICE, I GIVE IT. I DO AND SAY WHAT THE FUCK I WANNA SAY WHEN I WANNA SAY HOW I WANNA SAY IT, WHENEVER I WANNA SAY IT.”
