Forbes: Kanye West Officially Now A Billionaire by jarawa: 4:33am On Apr 26, 2020
Rapper Kanye West is now a billionaire thanks largely to the basketball shoes bearing his name that he developed with Adidas, Forbes magazine said Friday. The rough figure of the wealth of Kim Kardashian’s hubby is $1.3 billion, the magazine said in announcing the musician is now on its list of people worth at least $1 billion.

The 42-year-old, Chicago-born rapper’s Yeezy footwear often sells for more than $200 a pair in the United States and elsewhere. West was associated with Nike for years but broke away in 2013, lending his name to Adidas as they launched their first shoe together in 2015. Forbes said that for years West has been pressing the magazine to be listed as one of its mega-rich but that it declined, for lack of proof.

The magazine said tongue in cheek that for years it had applied what it called the Trump rule to West: “take whatever the future president insisted he was worth, divide by three, and start honing from there.” Much of the rest of West’s wealth comes from real estate he owns, the magazine said. West is the second American rapper to make the Forbes list after Jay-Z, who made the cut last year. (AFP)

Marrying a former IndecentStar sure paid off. Believe or not, kanye married a good woman. No be by virgin. That those Yeezy kicks are selling like pure water has a lot to do with his wife's fans buying them...yes...the former IndecentStar does not bring just pussy to the table, she rakes in money directly and indirectly for herself and husband. So my dear virgins, apart from your virginity, what else can u bring to the table coz virginity only lasts a few hours after wedding...slaymamas, I also ask you, apart from your wealth of experience in fucking, what else can you offer?

There is light at the end of the tunnel. Imagine if he had taken his life when he was deeply rooted in debt. Let’s not make hasty decisions when faced with some types of challenge.

Lucky Sperm Club...
The Accident of Birth.

Call it whatever you may, but this is a reaffirmation that being born in the “right” country at the “right” time can sometimes be half the journey, but that YOU as an INDIVIDUAL still have to work hard enough or have the vision or intuition to take advantage of opportunities that you neither created nor earned. CONGRATULATIONS to the dude. He embodies that thin line between wacko and wiz!

Kanye West really worked "miracles" on this one.
Surpassing Jay Z and Dr Dre.


The only other guy who worked "miracles" for me was Master P in the late 90's.

That guy made so much money, no one was 100 percent sure were it came from!

I don't trust the guy. Most Christians are sellouts, and always willing to sell their people out to the white man.

Congrats my boy!. I'm glad he was declared a billionaire when he turned a Christian. They would have said it was Illuminati that gave him wealth.
