Kanye West Net Worth 2024
Forbes revealed that Kanye West's actual net worth is now at $400 million. This was a huge drop from his previous billionaire ranking. Much of his net worth can be attributed to his huge partnership with Adidas, which was then severed after his controversial anti-semitic statements in the media.
A lot of his brand partnerships were also cut, resulting in his removal from the billionaire ranking.
Many on social media pointed out that for someone who claimed that he made someone famous (Kanye West), Taylor Swift could very well buy him and still have 800 million for herself, which is twice his current worth.
