Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is back in the billionaires club. On early Friday (Jan. 24), he revealed that his extensive catalog and Yeezy imprint boosted his net worth to a staggering $2.77 billion as of the present year.
âIn 2025, Yeâs net worth stands at $2.77 billion USD, as confirmed by Eton Venture Services,â read a statement shared on the Chicago nativeâs Instagram. âThe valuation is based on his music portfolio and his sole ownership of the Yeezy mark.â He fittingly captioned the post, âLAA LA LA LA,â in reference to 2007âs âCanât Tell Me Nothing.â
The iconic chorus, which appeared on Yeâs third studio album, Graduation, notably preceded the lines, âThen you can’t tell me nothing, right?/ Excuse me, was you saying something?/ Uh-uh, you can’t tell me nothing.â Fans certainly picked up on the nod in the comments section, with one person writing, âThe caption is so unserious.â
Another reply with over 52,000 likes read, âBro was a billionaire, lost everything, [and] became more rich.â Ye notably fell off Forbesâ highly coveted billionaires list in 2022 after being forced to cut ties with adidas, which reportedly accounted for $1.5 billion of his net worth at the time. Adding to the fallout, JPMorgan Chase, Balenciaga and Gap also severed their relationships with the 808s & Heartbreak artist following his antisemitic remarks.
Earlier in the month, Ye revealed that he made $2,339,096 within 24 hours from Yeezyâs latest drop. The collection introduced the SL-01s â aka Yeezy Slides â and several hoodies, socks, sweatpants and tees in gray, white and black.
âThey told you I was dead broke [and] cloned. [Does] this sound like a clone? I don’t take advice; I give it,â he said in a now-deleted post celebrating the feat. âI do and say what the f**k I wanna say when I wanna say, how I wanna say [and] whenever I wanna say it.â
