Kanye West takes issue with Forbes’ billionaire designation

hollywood.com:

Kanye West is challenging the notion he has finally achieved billionaire status, insisting his net worth is actually $3.3 billion.

The Power hitmaker was reportedly left fuming last year (2019) because financial experts at Forbes magazine declined to call him a billionaire in his cover article, as the rapper and fashion designer had not been able to produce the paperwork requested to back up his claims.

As a result, the hip-hop star was left off the publication’s annual list of billionaires, released in early April (2020) – and Kanye took issue with his omission.

Now, after “months of lobbying”, he has officially earned the Forbes designation – but he’s still not happy with the news because he insists it undercuts his actual value.
