Welcome to the Billion Dollar Club Kanye! Yeezy Brand Reportedly Worth 1.5 Billion Dollars

Kayne West has always said his Yeezy Brand will be the biggest street brand of our time. Well, it looks like that may be true, sources close to Kanye tell The Blast his Yeezy company with Adidas just received a valuation that put their total worth close to $1.5 BILLION.

Kayne previously spoke about his brand’s growth on Twitter in Apr. 2018. He claimed that Yeezy was the second fastest growing company in fashion history. He also dubbed it the “unicorn” of the industry. “I am currently the single highest paid person in footwear. That means I make more money on shoes than Michael Jordan,” he wrote at the time.
