Kanye West has shared his total net worth on social media.
The rapper and entrepreneur took to Instagram last night (January 23) to share a report from valuation provider Eton Venture Services, which stated that he is officially a billionaire once again.
“In 2025, Ye’s net worth stands at $2.77billion USD as confirmed by Eton Venture Services,” it read. “The valuation is based on his music portfolio and his sole ownership of the Yeezy mark.”
Sharing a screenshot of the update on Instagram, Ye uploaded it alongside the caption: “LAA LA LA LA”.
The valuation – which equates to roughly £2.23b – comes as the rapper had a tough financial hit back in 2022 when his massive partnership with Adidas was terminated. According to Forbes magazine, Ye lost his billionaire status in October that year as the severed ties meant his net worth reportedly plummeted from $2billion (£1.3billion) to $400million (£348million).
The Adidas deal was previously valued at $1.5billion (£1.31b), but eventually came to an abrupt end following his string of anti-semitic comments. The controversy surrounding him also meant that ties were cut with the likes of Def Jam, JP Morgan Chase, and Balenciaga who have all condemned his comments.
At the time, the remainder of his fortune came largely from his music catalogue, as well as his real estate and his five per cent stake in the Skims brand, owned by his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Last year, West claimed that he was “two months from going bankrupt” after the sports brand cut ties with him.
Much of his financial comeback comes as he launched his own platform for Yeezy after separating from the German sportswear brand. Earlier this week, he both accused Adidas of tactically trying to hold him back – allegedly burying his Yeezy site in Google search results – while also claiming that the site “made $100million last year” despite “it only being up for six months.”
While a huge part of his financial wealth comes from his business ventures in the fashion world, another main source of income is also from his extensive music catalogue.
According to outlets like Parade, the discography – which includes his own releases, those he’s produced for others, and as his G.O.O.D. Music label— is estimated to be worth around $90 million.
This has been a steady source of income for the rapper. In 2019, for example, he was reported by the outlet as being the highest-paid person in hip-hop, while 2020 saw him earn the title of highest-paid musician in the world with $170 million.
Although exact figures for each release haven’t been reported, ‘The College Dropout’ appears to remain one of his biggest releases, with estimates of copies sold varying between 3million and 9million. The same can be said for his sophomore record ‘Late Registration’, which reportedly moved over 4 million copies.
Other big releases that would contribute to the figure will likely include ‘Yeezus’, ‘The Life Of Pablo’, ‘808s & Heartbreak’, ‘Graduation’ and ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’.
His latest releases come as the collaborative ‘Vultures 1’ and ‘Vultures 2’ albums, which he shared with Ty Dolla $ign. Last month, however, the releases drew backlash as more than 10 producers who worked on them claimed that they have “not been paid for their services”.
