On Thursday (June 4), Forbes announced the 2020 edition of its annual Celebrity 100 list and revealed Kanye West as the world's highest-paid musician.
Clocking in with 2020 earnings of $170 million, the rapper ranks at number two, just behind sister-in-law Kylie Jenner, whose billionaire status was called into question last week by the magazine due to discrepancies in the financial statements of her ultra-successful Kylie Cosmetics brand.
According to the magazine, West is now officially worth $1.3 billion. His newly-acquired tax bracket is thanks in large part to the multi-hyphenate's contract with Adidas for his massively popular sneaker brand Yeezy, which drove in that same seven-figured number in sales in 2019. Adding to West's net worth are profits from his Yeezy apparel line -- the brand of which he owns outright -- as well as his music.
