WORTHS

Provisional profile — this estimate relies primarily on one authoritative source and may change as additional reporting is reviewed.

Estimated net worth

Limited confidence

$400M

Reported range $350M – $500M

  • Music catalog
  • Real estate
  • Skims equity stake

Ye's reported wealth is attributed to cash holdings, real estate, the value of his music catalog, and a reported 5% stake in Skims, the shapewear brand co-founded by his former spouse Kim Kardashian. Forbes' figure reflects a steep decline from a previously reported peak (driven substantially by the Adidas Yeezy partnership, valued by Forbes at as much as $1.5 billion before it was terminated in 2022 following his antisemitic public comments).

  • The only available Forbes figure is dated to April 2022, well before this research snapshot; no more recent independent net-worth update was found.
  • Ye has at times made substantially higher public self-valuations; per research guidance these are excluded here as unsubstantiated.
  • The Adidas Yeezy partnership, once a major driver of his estimated wealth, ended in 2022, and the $400M figure already reflects that loss rather than predating it.

Why estimates differ

A single usable reported estimate. Forbes' profile figure ($400M) is used directly, but the page's own visible last-update date is April 5, 2022 — more than four years before this record's research date — so it is treated as dated rather than current.

    $400M — Directly fetched and confirmed, but the page's visible last-update date (April 5, 2022) is more than four years old at this research's snapshot date; flagged as stale in the Person record.

How the estimate has changed

This profile hasn’t yet completed a full editorial review. A change history will appear here once it has.

Public figures rarely disclose a complete account of their assets and liabilities. These figures are reported estimates assembled from the cited sources, not audited financial statements.
