Yeezy street: a look at how Kanye West spends his billions

Kanye West is the richest musician in the world, but his high net worth has little to do with his rap career… his reported billions are primarily due to the success of his fashion empire.

Kanye recently signed a $1-billion deal with the GAP that will see Yeezy-branded clothes line the racks of the GAP stores. Meanwhile, his sneaker venture with Adidas is believed to be worth as much as $3.7 billion, and he gets a cut every time Adidas sells a pair of $1,000 Yeezy sneakers.

Then there’s his vast premium real-estate portfolio, which is worth around $100 million. The crown jewel in his collection of mansions is undoubtedly his $60-million abode in Hidden Hills, California. It’s filled with extremely expensive appliances and furniture, including a bathroom sink worth a staggering $30,000. He also owns two ranches in Wyoming worth nearly $30 million total.

Fancy wheels? He’s got those, too. Kanye’s garage is filled with rare and expensive vehicles, as he spends millions buying supercars and millions more customising them. One highlight here is his sleek matte-black $180,000 Porsche Panamera, which is equipped with a 400-horse-power 4.8-litre V8 engine, capable of going 0-100 km/h in just five seconds. As for his $1.06-million Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss… it’s so rare that only 75 units were ever made.

Finally, let’s take some time to mention the jewellery. Yeezy has often been spotted wearing watches worth over $100,000. Some of the most impressive pieces among his luxury timepieces include his $46,200 gold Vacheron Constantin Overseas and $140,000 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Skeleton Perpetual Calendar.
