Last year was not the year of Kanye West and the beginning of 2023 does not seem to be great for the rapper either. By the end of 2022, half of the companies for whom Ye was once a cash cow broke ties with him. And all of that was because of the rapper’s anti-semantic remarks which put him in trouble.

However, the problems for the rapper do not seem to end in the new year too. It was pretty clear that the rapper lost a fortune when his “loyal” allies cut ties with him. However, all of it took an unprecedented when the once-billionaire lost being rich to a literal dog.

How did a dog defeat Kanye West in the race of being rich?

It was only yesterday when Taylor Swift’s cat made it to the news for being the third richest pet in the world with a net worth of $97 million. Obviously, the first question that came into people’s minds was, “Who is the world’s richest pet?” Well, the answer to that is that a German Shepherd dog from Italy named Gunther IV is the world’s richest pet. Gunther IV has a total net worth of $500 million which is managed by Gunther Corporation.

Although, he inherited only $80 million from his grandfather who had it in the year 1992. On the other hand, Ye, who was a billionaire about a year ago, has now a net worth of $400 million which majorly dropped in the year 2022.

According to Animated Times, Gunther IV is a social media influencer who makes a large part of his money through his followers. So it wouldn’t be wrong to say that social media helped a dog’s career while making one of the world’s richest musicians poorer.

Ye lost his major sum of money when Adidas cut ties with his company Yeezy. When Yeezy was at its peak, it alone is said to have added around $4-5 billion to Kanye West’s capital. The billionaire turned a millionaire when Adidas left him. He is also paying his ex-wife Kim Kardashian a hefty amount of money which she does not seem to be happy with.

Let’s see if the year 2023 shows the rapper some good time and at least makes him richer than the dog. Do you think Kanye will be able to reclaim his title back from the dog?
