Kanye West Becomes a Billionaire

According to Forbes, music producer, and entrepreneur, Kanye West is worth $3.3Billion. This was announced earlier today on Forbes website as they confirmed the claim from Mr. Kanye West that he is now worth $3.3Billion in cash and in assets. This brings Kanye West into the Billionaires gang.

When Forbes last checked in with Kanye West, the mercurial hip-hop superstar-turned-footwear magnate was tiptoeing through a parking lot crop circle comprised of hundreds of pairs of his Yeezy sneakers. “I’m not a numbers guy,” he explained ten months ago. “To ask me to somehow translate this to numbers is to ask your grandmother exactly what the recipe of the cake was.” There’s only one number that West cares about. A billion, as in dollars. And he cares a lot.

“It’s not a billion,” West texted us last night. “It’s $3.3 billion since no one at Forbesknows how to count.”
