Kanye West Becomes A Billionaire

Kanye West is officially a billionaire now, soooooo next round’s on him, we guess? The 42-year-old rapper gave Forbes magazine a glimpse into his personal finances, and what do you know? His net worth is a cool $1.3billion (£1.05billion) – although he insists it’s actually more like $3.3billion (£2.6billion). Lend us a fiver, will you, Kanye? Go on, do us a solid.

All those dollar dollar bills come from his stake in his Yeezy sneaker line – which Forbes describes as ‘one of the great retail stories of the century’ – at $1.26billion (£1.02billion). Added to that, he’s packing $17m (£13.7m) in cash and $35m (£28m) in stocks.
