But the rapper, who is married to Kim Kardashian, slammed the publication for allegedly getting their numbers wrong.

A text message to the publication Friday night read: “It’s not a billion. It’s 3.3 billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count.”

Kanye has slammed the publication in the past for not featuring him on their billionaire list.

The father of four said during an appearance at the 2019 Fast Company Innovation Festival: “When I did Forbes, I showed them a $890 million recipe and they still didn’t say ‘billionaire.’”

Forbes claimed Kanye was so unhappy that he wasn’t included on this year’s billionaire list that he texted the writer.

Zack O’Malley Greenburg claimed Kanye texted: “You know what you’re doing. You’re toying with me and I’m not finna lye [sic] down and take it anymore in Jesus name.”

Forbes said Kanye’s team provided statements that showed he has $17 million in cash, $35 million in stocks, $81 million in “buildings and improvements” and $21 million in land.

His Adidas Yeezy line has a revenue worth around $1.3 billion and his G.O.O.D. record label is at least $90 million.

The article read: “Yeezy is a complicated asset. West owns 100% of it. But it’s functionally tied, at least for five-plus years based on the documents we saw, to Adidas, which produces, markets and distributes the shoes.”

Kanye received royalties of around $140 million from sales last year.

The publication also took into account Kanye’s debts, as Forbes claimed Kanye is “on the hook” for about “$100 million.”

Billionaire status runs in the family, as his sister-in-law Kylie Jenner was recently named the youngest self-made billionaire for the second year in a row.

The Kylie Cosmetics owner recently dropped $36 million on a massive ‘resort-style’ estate.
