Now that Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West have parted their marital ways, they both continue to make headline after headline.
While Kanye West has made the news rounds this morning for his upcoming Netflix documentary reportedly worth more than $30 million USD, which has also been 20 years in the making, the rapper’s soon-to-be ex-wife is also making (money) moves.
According to Forbes, Kim Kardashian West is now a whole billionaire. Apparently last year in October Kim was worth a cool $780, however now she’s rounded out her dollar value a couple more hundred million, all thanks to her KKW Beauty and SKIMS business ventures.
We’re all well aware that it’s not unusual for a member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan to reach billionaire status, with Kylie Jenner reaching the same level a couple of years ago. However, Forbes (who declared Jenner’s billionaire status) did follow up the claim by stating that they no longer believed she was actually worth that much…
Over the recent years, Kardashian West has raked it in from her endorsement deals, KUWTK (obviously), as well as other investments as well as shares in companies like Disney, Amazon, Adidas and Netflix which were reportedly gifts from Kanye, as per Billboard.
Kim apparently also made a lot of money from selling 20% of KKW Beauty to Coty, while on the other hand, her other business SKIMS does not disclose its earnings. A source close to Forbes alleges that the company is worth $500 million.
Right now, Kim and Kanye are in the process of making their divorce final, with the news of the split breaking back in February.
TMZ detailed the specifics of the divorce, stating that both Kim and Kanye aren’t contesting a signed prenup and that Kim had also reportedly asked for joint legal and physical custody of their four children: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
