According to Bloomberg, Kanye West has officially been named the richest black man in U.S. history. A large part of this success is due to his successful YEEZY sneaker business which is considered to occupy approximately 3.2 to 4.7 billion according to private documents. West’s forthcoming GAP collaboration is said to be worth approximately $970M with addition income from his music catalog, cash, stocks and business investments. Considering the rapper claimed to have been $53 million USD in debt less than half a decade ago, his feat is worth the recognition.
