Kanye West officially welcomes wife, Kim Kardashian West to Billionaire club as she becomes a billionaire
Kanye Omari West, American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, composer, entrepreneur and fashion designer who only just a year and few months ago was officially certified a Billionaire by Forbes shares beautiful message welcoming his wife and partner, Kim Kardashian to the Billionaire’s League.
Taking to his twitter, Kanye just few minutes ago (At the time of this report) wrote:

You’ve weathered the craziest storms and now God is shining on you and our family
So blessed this is still life
So I made you this still life

Kanye West who’s net worth is subject of debate as he claimed to be worth about $3.3Bn at the time when Forbes certified his net worth to be $1.3bn, recently announced his excitement at his new partnership with GAP.
The Yeezy-Gap collaboration will see a line of apparel for men, women, and a kid’s line called Yeezy Gap. Products will start to roll out in 2021
Forbes Wrote at the time:
When last we checked in with Kanye West, the mercurial hip-hop superstar turned footwear magnate, I was tiptoeing through a parking lot crop circle composed of hundreds of pairs of his Yeezy sneakers. “I’m not a numbers guy,” he explained ten months ago. “To ask me to somehow translate this to numbers is to ask your grandmother exactly what the recipe of the cake was.”
There’s only one number that West cares about. A billion, as in dollars. And he cares a lot.
When we featured West on the cover of Forbes last summer, delving into his incredible success with Yeezy, he seemed pleased at first. His world-famous wife, Kim Kardashian West, even tweeted her congratulations, to the positive affirmations of 32,300 of their closest Twitter friends.
But without sufficient documentation on his unusual stake, versus just his word and industry guesstimates, we didn’t call him a billionaire. And that grated on him. As the year wore on, he protested publicly. (“I showed them a $890 million receipt, and they still didn’t say ‘billionaire,’” he told an industry panel, about something that no one at Forbes remembers.) In private, he was more biting. (A “disrespectful article,” he texted this week, that was “purposely snubbing me.”)
When our annual billionaires list appeared earlier this month, again with West absent—still no documentation, and now a pandemic to boot—West again reacted with hurt and venom. “You know what you’re doing,” he texted. “You’re toying with me and I’m not finna lye [sic] down and take it anymore in Jesus name.” At one point, he texted that Forbes was “part of a group of media” that was trying to suppress his self-made narrative because of his race. That sister-in-law Kylie Jenner did make the list also clearly stuck in his craw.
Then, yesterday, a breakthrough: West directed his team to provide what we feel is an authentic numeric look into Kanye Inc.
Three things became clear from this exercise. First, it reinforces why we put him on the cover in the first place—West, in just a few years, has created a brand that’s challenging Nike’s Air Jordan for sneaker world supremacy. It’s one of the great retail stories of the century.
