Despite how the media paints Kanye in an unfavorable light while on a massive relationship fiasco with his wife, Ye continues to be a trailblazer and a successful businessman, especially with all his existing enterprises.
Currently, Kanye is in a lot of heat against his estranged wife Kim Kardashian and her current boyfriend SNL comedian Pete Davidson.
The latter and Ye have recently been on a verbal beatdown on social media, with fans meddling in between to either put the fight down or fan the fire more.
Fans of Pete Davidson, called "Skete" by Kanye, have tried comparing the comedian with the rap mogul on the latter's questionable treatment for Kim Kardashian and his family.
However, avid Kanye fans defend him as they are sure that the rapper can provide much more financially for his family than Skete can.
While this is the case, some fans are still skeptical if Kanye can really provide the lavish lifestyle his family has been used to.
Kanye West's 2022 Net Worth
Coming second to Jay-Z, Kanye is the second-highest-paid rapper in 2021, racking up $250 million just last year.
His 2021 earnings catapulted Ye's current net worth to $1.8 Billion, putting him at No. 5 of Forbes' Highest Paid-Entertainers of 2022.
Most of his current earnings stem from his footwear empire "Yeezy."
Yeezy grew 31% to nearly $1.7 billion in annual revenue in 2020, netting royalties of $191 million.
According to estimates, Ye is also collaborating "Yeezy" with GAP, which might be worth up to $970 million of that amount.
The New York Times reported that Kanye inked a 10-year agreement with Gap, intending to have "Yeezy GAP" generate $1 billion in annual sales by the end of the first five years.
Aside from that, he possesses $122 million in cash and shares, as well as more than $1.7 billion in other assets, which includes a stake in his ex-wife Kim Kardashian's "Skims."
In addition, Ye's entire music catalog is valued at $110.5 million.
Most recently, his big move to exclusively release his latest album, "DONDA 2," on Stem Player generated him a quick and massive revenue amounting to $2.2 million ahead of its actual release date.
Just with the sheer amount of Ye's current net worth, it can be indeed said that he earns more in contrast with Pete Davidson, who was reported to have a net worth of only $8 million.
