“Kanye West Is Not The Richest Black Person In America” Forbes Refutes
On Wednesday, March 18 and Thursday March 19, 2021, several media sources had earlier reported that Kanye West is now worth $6.6 billion, therefore making history as the richest black man in the history of America. Bloomberg also reported that his sneaker brand Yeezy, as well as Yeezy Gap, have amassed a value of $4.7 billion.
Forbes has come out to state that Kanye not the Richest Black Man in US and Ruled out the Reported $6.6 Billion Net worth. Forbes estimates that the rapper is worth less than a third of that, or $1.8 billion… Sharing Reports that the celebrity is worth nearly $7 billion are based on the magical thinking around sales that don`t exist yet. This is why he`s currently worth less than one-third of that.
That is a big jump from last May when Forbes first pegged his net worth to be $1.3 billion, but nowhere near as much as the purported $6.6 billion. Vista Equity`s Robert F. Smith remains the richest Black person in the U.S., worth an estimated $6 billion, while Aliko Dangote of Nigeria, worth $11.8 billion, is the richest Black person in the world. Forbes Reported
Forbes however claim that Kanye`s sky-high estimates is in an attempt to inflate his worth, although in the past, he has alleged that they were “purposely snubbing” him.
