KANYE West is looking to boost his finances by spending $100 million on two private jets outfitted with luxury features, which he plans to rent out to wealthy clients. The controversial rapper, who claims to still be a billionaire despite losing numerous endorsement deals following offensive outbursts, aims to capitalize on what remains of his fame.

Two well-placed insiders told The U.S. Sun that Kanye's team approached them six months ago with this extravagant money-making idea. One source, a consultant in the private aviation industry, revealed that Kanye plans to rent the jets to affluent clients, including CEOs and celebrities, who can afford the premium ticket prices, which have yet to be finalized.

The two jets reportedly being considered are a $38 million Gulfstream G650ER and a $40 million Dassault Falcon 900LX. Kanye is expected to spend at least an additional $20 million on major upgrades to the interiors, including $40,000 Italian leather seats, a fully stocked bar, and other luxury amenities.

According to a consultant in the luxury design industry, there are also plans to include Yeezy-branded furniture on board, creating an immersive "Ye experience" for travelers. Even after ending partnerships with major brands, Kanye has continued to earn considerable sums from his music, including millions through "listening parties," while his Yeezy clothing line continues to thrive.
However, with past debts reaching up to $53 million, combined with growing expenses for abandoned mansion renovations, outstanding taxes, and ongoing legal disputes, doubts about Kanye's financial stability persist. "The goal is to make money," confirmed the first insider. "He wants to add this business to his personal portfolio and investments.".
The luxury design consultant added that Kanye's team is requesting interior designs inspired by the Yeezy brand, including custom furniture engraved with his "Y" logo. Gold-accented features and Kanye's signature black-and-light-cream color scheme are also part of the plan.
The jets would feature extra-large seats, a full bar staffed by a waiter serving cocktails, and fine Italian wines. "Kanye wants the planes to reflect his style and be filled with luxurious items that showcase his impact on the creative and fashion industries," the consultant said.
In 2022, Kanye's business ventures appeared to collapse when Adidas severed ties with Yeezy. However, he continued earning royalties from his earlier hit albums and maintained a valuable property portfolio, including high-end homes and ranches. He still holds a five percent stake in Skims, the shapewear brand he co-founded with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, which is now valued at $4 billion.
Determined to regain billionaire status, Kanye enlisted disgraced American Apparel founder Dov Charney in 2023 to help revive Yeezy. He purchased a $6.7 million property in West Hollywood, intending to use it as the company’s headquarters. While staff briefly worked there on sewing machines, operations were later halted, and the roof was removed. Over a year later, the property remains empty and roofless.
The U.S. Sun also reported on Kanye’s failed attempts to stage live performances at iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal. After his anti-Semitic online rants last year, no event organizers were willing to host his shows, despite his repeated efforts.
Kanye's team did not respond to requests for comment from The U.S. Sun. The U.S. Sun's Assistant Editor (Exclusives) Katy Forrester writes about Kanye's recent scandal after he leaned into anti-Semitic rants and staged an embarrassing Grammy's stunt:. KANYE’S public meltdowns are nothing new, and many die-hard fans have stuck by him amid his mental health battles, while others have tried to separate the art from the artist.
But in my years covering Ye, I have never known him to be this self-destructive, blowing up what was left of his empire after spending two years building back his reputation. Even fan sites are now logging off after supporting him for years. Unfortunately, I can't say his recent meltdown surprises me. His life behind the scenes has been chaotic since his split from Kim Kardashian. He is a ticking time bomb.
Ye previously expressed his frustration at Kim for dressing provocatively. He focused on religion and wanted to relocate to Wyoming full-time. But his life now couldn’t be any different. He’s often seen parading his wife Bianca Censori around almost naked, and his former assistant claimed he turned his Yeezy office into a “sexual playground” where orgies were the norm, which he denied.
During his hateful rants on X, he posted several adult videos and I fear his porn addiction is out of control. When he recently revealed on a friend’s podcast that he had come off meds for bipolar and instead believed he was autistic, it was clear things may go south.
