AMERICAN rapper, Kanye West is the highest-paid musician in the world. This is according to Forbes.
In the 2020 edition of its annual Celebrity 100 list, Forbes disclosed that the lyricist is leading the pack with $170 million earnings. Although, he ranks at number two, just behind sister-in-law Kylie Jenner, who was recently stripped of her billionaire status.
According to the magazine, West is now officially worth $1.3 billion. All thanks to his Yeezy sneaker line.
The 42-year-old father of four has maintained his status as one of the biggest-selling musicians in the last two decades. West had his GOOD Music record label and the rights to his back catalogue, valued at least $90 million.
The magazine said the statement of assets supplied to them by West’s team lists $17 million in cash and $35 million in stocks. The rapper’s other notable assets include $81 million in property and $21 million.
