Kanye West is back at it, claiming to be a billionaire once again—and this time, he says he has the receipts.
On Thursday night, Ye took to Instagram to share a statement from Eton Ventures, a business valuation firm, which estimates his net worth at an eye-popping $2.77 billion.
The report credits Kanye’s wealth to his music portfolio and, notably, his full ownership of the Yeezy brand. In his Instagram post, Ye couldn’t hold back his excitement, dropping a simple “LAA LA LA LA” in the caption.
But before everyone starts popping bottles, it’s important to note that Forbes has yet to confirm this claim. The financial giant still lists Kanye’s net worth at $400 million, far lower than the $2.77 billion figure from Eton Ventures.
If the valuation is correct, Kanye would surpass his former friend Jay-Z, whose fortune is pegged at $2.5 billion by Forbes.He’d also be well ahead of ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who’s worth $1.7 billion according to the same source.
This wouldn’t be Kanye’s first time reaching billionaire status, but he lost that title in 2022 after his controversial comments and the fallout with Adidas over the Yeezy partnership.
At the time, Forbes adjusted his net worth from $2 billion down to $400 million.
After a tough few years with brands dropping him left and right, Kanye recently shared that he was close to going bankrupt but has since been rebuilding.
He’s dropped new music, sold off a costly home, and seems to be climbing back to the top. So yeah, you can see why Ye’s feeling good about where he’s at right now.
