The music superstar and designer who recently changed his name to ‘Ye’, recently lost his multi-year deal with Adidas valued at $1.5 to 2 billion due to his anti-Semitic comments. He also cut ties with other brands, including Gap, CAA, and Balenciaga. His current wealth includes real estate, the value of his music catalog, a stake in Kim Kardashian West’s shapewear brand ‘Skims, and his bank cash.
