following a report from the popular service source Bloomberg, it’s now widely accepted that Kanye West is the richest black man in U.S. history. As an individual he’s valued at around $6.6 billion, the majority of which is due to his Yeezy footwear label, of which he still remains the sole owner of.

Yeezy is so popular it accounts for around $4 billion of this valuation, far exceeding Kanye’s musical wealth. The rest of the sum comes from other sources including his significant investments in Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS underwear label. There really is no doubting that from a service perspective the Yeezy brand has been absolutely killing it.

While Yeezy models are less limited and a lot more easily accessible than ever, it seems the brand has got the formula absolutely right, as each release still manages to sell out. It’s also showing absolutely no signs of slowing down, with plenty of high-heat releases of new and existing silhouettes scheduled for launch throughout 2021 by means of adidas’ brand-new confirmed app.

Some may think this headline is relatively unimpressive considering Kanye West is a hugely-famous individual, however let’s not forget that only a short while ago the rapper claimed he was $53 million dollars in debt.
