Back in October 2022, Kanye West made a big deal about being “beat to a pulp” and losing over a billion dollars when he was dropped by Adidas for making antisemitic comments. Now, more than two years later, Ye is hardly any less controversial — just look at his and Bianca Censori’s nude stunt that possibly got them kicked out of the Grammys. But that controversy no longer seems to be affecting his bottom line… at least according to him. Ye claimed that he’s worth $2.7 billion, but real estimates tell a different story, and of course, Kim Kardashian and SKIMS are involved.

Despite the huge hit to his bank account when several brands cut ties with him (causing huge financial loss to Adidas as well), Kanye West remained as popular and perplexing as ever. Demand for Yeezy shoes hit an all-time high, and despite claims that he was “retiring from professional music,” Ye put out two albums in 2024 with Ty Dolla Sign. According to a supposed friend of "The Life of Pablo" artist, none of this success is surprising, because his fans respond to his rebellious nature.
