Kanye West brags he's a billionaire

It reads: "In 2025, Ye's net worth stands at $2.77billion USD as confirmed by Eton Venture Services.

"The valuation is based on his music portfolio and his sole ownership of the Yeezy mark."

West - who legally changed his name to Ye - captioned the Instagram post: "LAA LA LA LA."

This marks a huge turn around for the Stronger hitmaker, who previously claimed he had been just "two months away" from declaring bankruptcy.

The 47-year-old star lost a number of lucrative deals over the last few years after a number of anti-Semitic outbursts and outrage over his decision to promote White Lives Matter T-shirts at his Paris Fashion Week show prompted several major brands to cut ties with him.

And West - who has North, 11, Saint, 10, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five, with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 44 - said his antics took a toll on his finances and left him close to going broke.

In an interview with TMZ.com last February, West claimed he was back on top with his fashion projects and new album Vultures, saying: "I'ma just be honest with y'all. I was two months from going bankrupt, and I put everything I had into it [the album and the Super Bowl advert].

"We moved to Italy. We moved to the factories, and we survived. We survived through the cancellation. We're back number one."

Asked if he felt the controversy "helped" him, West replied: "It wasn't about the controversy. It was about being able to say how you felt out loud. 

"If I didn't have the various skill sets of music and clothing and the fanbase, they would have been able to destroy me. But because we had all those skill sets, somehow I'm here inside of this universe able to fight."

When West - who is now married to Bianca Censori, 30, the Head of Architecture at his fashion brand Yeezy - was asked if he regretted airing his anti-Semitic views in the past, he declared: "They got the right to their opinion - I got the right to my opinion."
