Kanye West has claimed he’s reached billionaire status once again, surpassing Jay-Z as the richest rapper alive. The Stronger rapper, who announced in 2018 that he had changed his name to Ye, has seemingly confirmed his net worth, sharing a report from valuation provider Eton Venture Services.

Posted on Instagram, the document read: ‘In 2025, Ye’s net worth stands at $2.77billion USD as confirmed by Eton Venture Services. ‘The valuation is based on his music portfolio and his sole ownership of the Yeezy mark.’. Reposting the screenshot to his 20.5million followers, Ye, 47, wrote in his caption: ‘LAA LA LA LA’.
Ye’s net worth of $2,770,000,000 is roughly equivalent to £2.22billion, meaning he is now richer than fellow rap star and businessman Jay-Z – real name Shawn Corey Carter – who is worth $2.5billion. The hugely divisive musician’s post quickly clocked up hundreds of thousands of likes as fans took to the comments to declare Ye the ‘GOAT’.

‘first person to become a billionaire twice’ commented theofficialshed. ‘WAIT TILL I GET MY MONEY RIGHT 🐐🔥’, wrote keysofye_, quoting lyrics from his song Can’t Tell Me Nothing. Ye was stripped of his billionaire status in October 2022 as his career became shrouded with controversy.
