Kanye West Becomes a Billionaire, Says Forbes
Forbes announced that Kanye West is officially a billionaire with a net worth of $1.3 billion. However, Kanye claims that the publication doesn't know how to count.
In an article shared by Forbes last week, the publication claimed that Kanye West is officially a billionaire. He has a net worth of $1.3 billion after the calculations done by Forbes. He is officially $300 million richer than his sister-in-law, Kylie Jenner, who is supposedly the youngest billionaire. However, Kanye West had not made it to the annual Forbes list released a month ago.
If you all are not aware, Forbes has a yearly list of the world’s billionaires. Every year, the publication updates the list after looking at original documents and then declare who goes on the list. Hence, the reason why Kanye West wasn’t on the list earlier is that he didn’t provide any documents. Forbes has clearly mentioned that they were not provided with any proofs.
Moving forward, after the list was released, Kanye West got irritated over the fact that he didn’t make it to the list. He further texted the publication saying that they purposely didn’t add his name to the list, after the billionaire’s list was published. Later on, he provided Forbes with authentic numbers and according to their calculations, he had a net worth of $1.3 billion.
However, even that made him unhappy as he claimed that his net worth was $3 billion. “It’s not a billion,” Forbes claims West texted the outlet. “It’s $3.3 billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count.”
Forbes concluded the article by saying:
“For years, Forbes had an informal “Trump rule”—take whatever the future president insisted he was worth, divide by 3, and start honing from there. Like mentor, like mentee. Welcome to the ten-digit club, Kanye. You may not like our number, but you’ve joined the highest company in that regard,”
