Kanye West, Rihanna, & JAY-Z Make Forbes Billionaires List
Kanye West, JAY-Z and Rihanna are all together at the billionaires club.
The superstars are among 2,668 billionaires worldwide who made Forbes’ 2022 World Billionaires list.
It comes in at number 1,513 on the annual list, up more than 200 places from its location last year. His $2 billion fortune is largely invested in his lucrative Yeezy partnership with adidas and his 10-year deal with Gap.
Kanye West, however, claims the number is too low and its true value is in a $7 billion ballpark. According to The Blast, the rap tycoon believes Forbes is trying to “control and diminish him, even at the expense of their own honesty.”
Former Miss West and Kim Kardashian also jumped 1,000 points from their 2021 post to debut at number 1,645. Its net worth of $1.8 billion is partly due to the success of its cosmetics and shapewear empire.
