Kanye West is worth HOW MUCH?!
On Thursday evening, the Hurricane rapper popped up on Instagram with an incredibly dubious claim that he is supposedly now worth nearly $3 billion! Yes, really! Call us skeptical…

Let’s get to the actual claim first. The 47-year-old cited a company called Eton Venture Services that noted Ye supposedly has a net worth standing at $2.77 billion USD right this moment “based on his music portfolio and his sole ownership of the Yeezy mark.”
Ch-ch-check out the claim (and Ye’s goofy caption celebrating the statement) here:
Hmmm…
FWIW, Eton Venture Services appears to be a company that tracks and compiles business valuations for various firms and celebrities. So, who knows how legit they are. But… here’s the thing. Forbes still lists Ye’s net worth at $400 million. That’s a HUGE drop-off from the claim being made here by Eton Venture Services — a whopping $2.3 billion drop-off!! Honestly, those two numbers aren’t even close!
Plus, we also know that Ye lost a TON of cash and access to assets during (and after) his super-unsettling antisemitism turn. Plus, not to mention the fact that rumors of money troubles have been dogging him for a looong time.
So, the question we have is: Really, Ye?! Really??
