Kanye West (Ye) Net worth, Age, Height, family & More [2025]

Kanye West, who now simply goes by Ye, is a true force in music, fashion, and pop culture. Born June 8, 1977, in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, he first made waves as a producer with Roc-A-Fella Records, helping shape Jay-Z’s The Blueprint back in 2001. But it was his own debut album, The College Dropout (2004), that really catapulted him into the spotlight.

Since then, Ye’s put out a string of groundbreaking albums—Late Registration, Graduation, 808s & Heartbreak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Yeezus, The Life of Pablo, Ye, and Donda—each pushing boundaries in different ways. His style keeps evolving, sometimes surprising even his biggest fans.

Beyond music, he’s built a fashion empire with Yeezy. And while his outspoken nature often stirs controversy, there’s no denying his impact. With over 20 Grammy wins, Ye remains one of the most influential—and talked about—figures of his generation.

As of May 2025, Kanye West is 47 years and 11 months old, his estimated net worth is $400 million, and he stands at a height of 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm or 1.73 m) tall.

School / College / University

He went to Polaris School for Individual Education in Oak Lawn, Illinois, during his younger years. After high school, he actually earned a scholarship to the American Academy of Art in Chicago, where he started off studying painting. But that didn’t last long—Ye soon transferred to Chicago State University to major in English. Still, college couldn’t hold his full attention. At 20, he made the bold move to drop out and chase his real dream: music. And well, the rest is history.

Religion

Kanye West’s relationship with religion has gone through big shifts. Around 2019, he embraced Evangelical Christianity, released Jesus Is King, and started his famous Sunday Service gatherings. But by 2024, Ye admitted he was struggling with his faith, even saying he had “issues with Jesus” and calling himself the “God of myself.” This part of his life also remains complex and controversial.

Race / Ethnicity

African-American

Food Habits

Kanye’s eating habits? Honestly, they’ve been all over the place. In 2025, he got serious—dropping 50 pounds by swapping junk for clean, whole foods like chicken, veggies, and avocado. No more sugar overloads or heavy carbs. Before that, he flirted with keto, loading up on lobster and cream cheese French toast (yes, really). And of course, classic Kanye couldn’t resist keeping a slushie machine and Sour Skittles on tour. Strict one minute, playful the next—pretty much sums him up.

Kim Kardashian (2012–2022)

Bianca Censori (2022–Present)

Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s story has been anything but quiet. They first crossed paths in 2020 when Bianca joined Yeezy, but sparks really flew after Kanye’s split from Kim Kardashian in 2022. By the end of that year, they had a secret wedding ceremony—whether it was legal or not didn’t seem to matter much to them.

Together, they made waves: bold outfits, headline-grabbing appearances, constant media frenzy. Bianca even stepped into Kanye’s family world, seen with his kids in early 2023. But by 2025, cracks started to show. Rumors of separation circled after a tense Grammy appearance. Their relationship, full of highs, lows, and wild moments, feels like classic Kanye—unpredictable, larger-than-life, and impossible to ignore.

Net Worth 2025

$400 million

As of May 2025, it’s estimated that Kanye West has a net worth of about $400 million. He has always been more than just a musician. He’s a brand, a movement, and at times, a controversy magnet. Now his net worth has a sharp fall from his previous billionaire status, but still a staggering fortune by any standard. His wealth isn’t built on just one thing; it’s the result of music, fashion, real estate, investments, and a handful of unpredictable ventures.

Let’s break it down.

1. Music (Albums, Streaming, and Royalties)

How he earns: Music was Kanye’s first love—and his first major income source. Even today, despite massive success in other fields, his music catalog continues to bring in millions every year through album sales, digital downloads, and especially streaming royalties.

His albums (The College Dropout, Graduation, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Donda, and more) still perform impressively on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
In 2021 alone, his songs racked up over 2.6 billion streams in the U.S., which translated to roughly $10 million in streaming revenue, according to Forbes.
He also earns performance royalties whenever his music is played commercially—be it on the radio, TV, or public venues.

Estimated total music earnings to date: Over $150 million

Music remains Kanye’s heartbeat—even as his empire expanded into new arenas.

2. Fashion (Yeezy and Adidas)

How he earned (and lost): Fashion turned Kanye into a billionaire—at least for a while. His Yeezy brand, especially the sneaker collaboration with Adidas, became a cultural phenomenon.

At its peak, Yeezy was generating about $1.7 billion a year in sales.
Kanye had a unique royalty structure, earning about 11% of Yeezy’s revenues.
In 2020, his royalties from Adidas alone were estimated at $191 million.

However, in October 2022, Adidas terminated their partnership with Kanye after a series of controversial public remarks. This was a financial earthquake: not only did he lose a billion-dollar valuation overnight, but it also deeply affected his yearly cash flow.

Even after Adidas, Yeezy continues to exist independently in various forms, but its market dominance has shrunk significantly.

Estimated Yeezy earnings before Adidas split: Roughly $500–600 million

Yeezy wasn’t just a fashion label—it was Kanye’s bold statement against conformity.

3. Real Estate

How he earns: Ye has always had a fascination with architecture and space—literally. Over the years, he’s invested heavily in real estate:

Several properties in Wyoming (including a $14 million ranch)
Multiple homes across Los Angeles
Land development projects (including attempts to build Yeezy-branded low-income housing)

While many of these ventures were more passion projects than cash cows, his real estate holdings still represent tens of millions in asset value.

In addition, selling and flipping some properties has added to his earnings.

Estimated real estate portfolio value: Around $50 million

For Kanye, property isn’t just about investment—it’s about building visions, even if they don’t always pan out.

4. Investments (Skims and Others)

How he earns: One of Kanye’s smartest financial moves? Investing early in Skims, the shapewear brand founded by Kim Kardashian.

Ye holds around 5% ownership stake in Skims.
As of 2024, Skims was valued at around $4 billion.
This means Kanye’s stake could be worth roughly $200 million on paper, though exact figures vary depending on the valuation date.

Besides Skims, Kanye has dabbled in tech, media, and even obscure startups. Not all of them were hits, but Skims remains a goldmine.

Estimated current Skims stake value: $150–200 million

Sometimes, the best investments are personal—and personal investments pay off.

5. Other Ventures (Gap, Yeezy Porn, and More)

How he (tried to) earn: Ye’s restless creativity also led him to attempt more experimental ventures:

Gap Partnership:
In 2020, he signed a 10-year deal with Gap to create “Yeezy Gap,” hoping to revolutionize mainstream fashion.
Initially hailed as game-changing, the collaboration struggled with delays, branding conflicts, and internal drama.
It ended abruptly in 2022 after Gap terminated the partnership.
Adult Entertainment (Yeezy Porn):
In 2024, Kanye made headlines with a plan to launch a Yeezy-branded adult entertainment platform, signaling another wild pivot. As of now, it remains more rumor than revenue.
Donda Academy:
Kanye founded his own private school, Donda Academy, but it faced controversy and legal issues, costing more money than it made.

Overall, these experimental projects burned cash more than they built wealth.

Estimated profit from “other ventures”: Minimal to negative

Not every Kanye idea turns to gold—but he never stops swinging.
