The “Gold Digger” artist was mandated to pay $200,000 per month in child support, a relatively minor amount compared to the massive $2 billion loss he faced within a single day in October of that year.
West revealed the severe financial hit on Instagram after many sponsors severed their partnerships with him due to his anti-Semitic remarks and for wearing ‘White Lives Matter’ T-shirts during his show at Paris Fashion Week.
This series of events led to West’s swift loss of billionaire status.
Adidas, one of his major partners, decided to ‘terminate’ their collaboration ‘immediately’ after West’s controversial claim that he could make anti-Semitic comments and not lose their support.
In addition, he tweeted about going ‘death con 3 ON JEWISH PEOPLE,’ resulting in his account being locked.
Companies like Gap, Balenciaga, and CAA also announced they would no longer collaborate with him, although the loss of Adidas was notably significant, as Forbes stated that this partnership represented $1.5 billion of his net worth.
West mentioned he was just ‘two months away’ from bankruptcy at that time.
However, nearly three years after those incidents, West seems to have recovered his massive financial losses.
The 47-year-old artist announced to his 20.5 million Instagram followers that he has amassed an impressive net worth from his music and his clothing line, Yeezy.
He shared a message from Eton Venture Services stating: “In 2025, Ye’s net worth stands at $2.77 billion USD as confirmed by Eton Venture Services.”
“The valuation is based on his music portfolio and his sole ownership of the Yeezy mark.”
Ye shared the screenshot on Instagram, captioning the post with a simple: “LAA LA LA LA”.
In an interview with TMZ last year, the 24-time Grammy Award winner stated he invested ‘everything’ into a $7 million Super Bowl commercial for his fashion label and to promote his album, Vultures.
This move resulted in $19.3 million in revenue and saw Vultures reach the number one spot in 100 countries.
He also disclosed his relocation to Italy with his wife, Bianca Censori, a decision that brought its own share of controversy.
West stated: “We moved to Italy. We moved to the factories, and we survived. We survived through the cancellation. We’re back number one.”
When questioned if the controversies had any positive impact, he responded: “It wasn’t about the controversy. It was about being able to say how you felt out loud.”
“If I didn’t have the various skill sets of music and clothing and the fanbase, they would have been able to destroy me. But because we had all those skill sets, somehow I’m here inside of this universe able to fight.”
