After countless cancellations and being dropped by adidas and Gap for his antisemitic remarks and all other brands shunning him, it appears Kanye West has made a comeback.
The Chicago-born rapper is a billionaire once again, at least according to him. He’s always one to play by his own rules, which doesn’t change when it comes to a proper valuation of his wealth, and he doesn’t need a publication like Forbes to confirm it.
He took to Instagram to post a statement confirming his stacked music catalog and being the independent owner of Yeezy has allowed his bank account to overflow and rejoin the 10-figure club.
“In 2025, Ye’s confirmed net worth stands at USD 2.77 billion, as confirmed by Eton Venture Services. The valuation is based on his music portfolio and his sole ownership of the Yeezy mark,” the statement reads.
Ye also gloats in the caption, simply writing, “LAA LA LA LA,” which could be a reference to his 2007 track “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” where the following line, he ironically raps, “Wait ’til I get my money right.”
Eton has been around since 2010 and calls itself the gold standard in business valuation services. It claims to be trusted by top companies and high-net-worth individuals. They operate out of many of the country’s biggest cities, including Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, Seattle Metro, Kentucky, Houston, St. Louis, and Los Angeles.
While Ye may see the valuation as a victory, the more common system over at Forbes sees things a bit differently.
Is Ye still extremely wealthy? Yes.
But is he a billionaire? Nope.
Forbes still has his net worth set at $400 million, and it’s unaware if that number plans on changing anytime soon. A bulk of that $400 million comes from his cash on hand, a property he owns, the ownership of his discography, and the stake he owns in ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand.
