Ye, aka, Kanye West, lost his billionaire status back in 2022. For years, the rapper had worked hard to get on the coveted Forbes World’s Billionaires list, and in 2020, after showing the necessary paperwork to prove his net worth, he finally earned a spot. However, his time as a billionaire did not last forever. After three years, Ye lost the title when his highly profitable Yeezy sneakers partnership with Adidas—responsible for most of his earnings—came to an abrupt end. Now, two years later, it looks like the rapper has finally turned things around. 

Ye recently received a new net worth update, and it is worlds apart from where he stood just two years ago.

Eton Venture Services, a well-known valuation and advisory services partner for private and public companies, recently confirmed Ye’s net worth for 2025. By factoring in his music portfolio and his full ownership of the Yeezy brand, they have placed his fortune at $2.77 billion. This is a major leap from the $400 million he was left with after losing his $1.3 billion Adidas partnership. Ye has always been very particular about his net worth. Even back when Forbes officially declared him a billionaire, the rapper was not exactly pleased with how they calculated it.

In fact, he texted a Forbes editor after his 2020 debut, saying, “It’s not a billion," adding, "It’s $3.3 billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count.” Given how fiercely determined Ye has been to become the richest Black man in America—something he could not help bragging about even during his now-viral deposition—it seems he did everything to reclaim his billions. But he did not get there on his own.

Despite the Criticism, Ty Dolla $ign Remains Steadfast in His Support for Ye

His fans were just as committed to seeing him make a comeback. Many of them even launched campaigns to help Ye rebuild his fortune.

When Ye lost his billionaire status, he became the center of several GoFundMe campaigns, all hoping to make him a billionaire again. The page was set up to raise a billion dollars, even though the rapper still had an estimated $400 million fortune. However, the effort did not exactly go as planned. Before long, several similar campaigns popped up, with their creators asking the public to make them billionaires, too.

The fundraiser was soon taken down, along with several other similar pages, probably because they violated GoFundMe’s terms and conditions. Reports say that none of these pages really attracted much attention—or money. However, even though fans’ fundraising campaigns did not help him regain his billionaire status, they certainly supported him in other ways. Fans flocked to buy his YZY items by the millions, which helped boost his financial standing and, seemingly, played a big part in getting his billionaire title back too, if so.
