Kanye West and Kim Kardashian ’s marriage is reportedly on the rocks, with rumours circulating that they are getting a divorce.
The iconic power couple have been married for six years, and a possible divorce could be messy and extremely expensive.
Both Kanye and Kim are incredibly rich.
Kanye is one of the most successful musicians on the planet, with 21 Grammy wins out of 69 nominations.
Meanwhile, his wife Kim has earned millions off the back of the reality show Keeping up with the Kardashians.
Together they boast an eye-watering fortune – but how much are they worth separately?
Here we take a closer look at Kanye’s net worth.
Kanye West net worth
Kanye West’s net worth is an estimated $3.3billion (£2.3billion), according to himself.
After Forbes published a story estimating his net worth to be $1.3billion, the publication reported that Kanye messaged them to say: “It’s $3.3billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count.”
Meanwhile, his personal accountant provided an unaudited balance sheet to Bloomberg, claiming his net worth was $3.15billion.
The rapper can attribute his entry into the billionaires club to his lucrative high-end sneaker company Yeezy.

Yeezy was valued at around $3billion in 2019, according to a Bank of America document reviewed by Bloomberg.
Kanye is the sole owner of the brand, which will have likely taken a hit, along with the rest of the fashion industry, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
According to Forbes, Yeezy alone adds $1.26billion to the rapper’s personal net worth.
Kanye also has about $200million (£146million) in other assets, including real estate and his music catalog.

Kanye is the highest-paid person in hip-hop, according to the publication, and raked in $150million in 2019 alone.
His music catalogue, including the albums The College Dropout and Jesus is King, is worth about $110.5million, (£81million) according to Bloomberg.
He has obviously come a long way since 2016, when he took to Twitter to claim he was “$53 million in personal debt”, and made a public plea to Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion in him as the “greatest artist of all time”.
