Barely five years after divulging being enmeshed in tunes of $ 53 Million (Ksh. 5.822 Billion) in personal debts, eminent rapper and producer Kanye West is now reportedly the richest black man ever in the USA.
Formidable American financial data company Bloomberg reported that the apparel magnate is currently worth $ 6.6 Billion (Ksh. 725.2 Billion).
The rapper, who in 2020 was declared a certified billionaire, has seen his networth multiply sixfold.
Bloomberg ascribes Kanye’s networth leap to his famed brand Yeezy deals with German multinational sportswear company Adidas and American worldwide clothing company GAP.
The 22-time-Grammy award winning artiste derives most of his personal wealth from being the sole proprietor of his Yeezy Company, whose sales continued to significantly flourish regardless of the corona virus pandemic.
Hip-Hop’s second billionaire and wife Kim Kardashian; who was also declared a billionaire last year, are seeking divorce after six years in marriage and four children after.
The looming divorce is supposedly caused by Kanye’s recent spontaneous rants and his unsuccessful 2020 presidential bid.
