Kanye West Net Worth 2022 (Updated): Rapper Removed from Forbes' Billionaire List After Sacked Adidas Deal

The month of October hasn't been that exactly favorable to Kanye West.

Following a flurry of controversial statements starting from publicly criticizing the "Black Lives Matter" movement to launching his "White Lives Matter" statement shirts. Kanye has managed to trigger almost everyone on the internet, well, except those who still believe in him.

But what wreaks havoc more in the media is his slew of antisemitic comments. He initially tweeted that he would engage in "deathcon 3" to the Jews in a now-deleted post on Twitter. This got him banned on the platform and a separate but similar in-nature statement on Instagram.

But as criticism goes bigger for the "DONDA" rapper, his pocket, meaning his brand deals and net worth, has begun its consecutive nosedives.

In an interview with Piers Morgan earlier this month, Kanye tried to make light of the accusations of his antisemitism. Saying with a grinning face that he did not regret the intentional statements he had made. He even went on to drop the r-word to US President Joe Biden during the interview.

While he continues to be bold and remains unfazed by his statements, Kanye West's deals and partnerships with big brands have been put in limbo.

In a matter of weeks, Vogue and Anna Wintour released a statement that they would never work again with the GRAMMY-winning artist and fashion icon ever again. Ye also attacked one of its fashion editors, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who expressed frustrations on his "White Lives Matter" shirts.

Balenciaga has also severed ties with Kanye, noting that they have "no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects" related to him.

Before the recent slew of sacking, Ye personally dropped Gap after a vicious misunderstanding turned Ye's public drama with corporate America.

According to Kanye West, his net worth is around $3.3 billion. However, with Forbes crunching down the numbers, they have arrived only at around $2 billion.

While the actual figure is debatable because of Kanye's many unreported assets, it wouldn't matter anymore as Adidas surprisingly dropped Kanye West in a stunning turn of events.

The move came on the heels of Kanye's boastful antics on the Drink Champs podcast, where he said: "I can literally say antisemitic shit, and they can't drop me. I can say antisemitic things, and Adidas can't drop me. Now what?"

According to Forbes, the Adidas deal is estimated to be at $1.5 billion. This would chop Kanye West's net worth to $400 million only, removing him entirely to the Billionaire list.

This figure could even plummet down if he would also lose the $250 million lawsuit that George Floyd's family has filed over false comments about the victim's death.
