Kanye West might not have succeeded in his bid for the U.S. presidency in 2020, but that doesn’t mean the Hip-Hop and Sneaker mogul isn’t still among one of the most powerful influencers in the free world. In fact, it seems Kanye is doing just fine without adding that feather to his cap!

As fans will recall, in 2020, reports surfaced which named Kanye as one of Hollywood’s few billionaires with an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion. This put Kanye in an elite group of individuals which included the likes of Jay-Z, Oprah, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas as well as his (soon to be former) sister-in-law Kylie Jenner.

Needless to say, an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion is nothing to scoff at; however, it appears Kanye West is actually worth approximately five times more than the total previously reported in 2020!

What is Kanye West’s net worth?

As of March 2021, Kanye West is reported to have an estimated net worth of $6.6 billion. A large part of Kanye’s boosted net worth is said to have come from his lucrative sneaker and apparel brand Yeezy, which People reports is worth between $3.2 billion and $4.7 billion as of 2021.

Not only is Kanye an absolutely dominant force within the sneakers and apparel industry with Yeezy continuing to be a constant stream for revenue, but Kanye also, of course, has made several other investments over the years including in Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand SKIMS. And let’s not forget Kanye also has netted quite a hefty earning through his music career with his music catalog alone rumored to be valued at roughly $110 million.
