Following Kanye West's presidential bid for the upcoming November election, all eyes are seemingly on the hip-hop artist, alongside his now-former friend, Donald Trump. The celebrity shocked his fans, as well as the rest of the world, when he announced his desire to run for the upcoming presidential race on social media.
Considering that he is a well-known supporter of the incumbent United States President since the latter's emergence to politics, many have wondered whether it is true or not. Despite the lack of details about his aspiration, with the hashtag, "2020Vision," several people have taken his announcement as a serious matter. His wife, Kim Kardashian, even went on to share her support through his social media post.
With this narrative at hand, the rest of the public could not help but, compare the two personalities. Aside from tackling their ties and "friendship," many have become intrigued with their respective wealth and net worth, according to Cheat Sheet.
It is no longer a new thing to come across news that features Donald Trump and Kanye West's wealth. Throughout the years of their fame and popularity, they have always, reportedly, talked about their "money."
The US President is a well-known billionaire mogul even before his time inside the White House. With his and his family's empire, it is, reportedly, an understatement to say that the Trumps are rich and wealthy.
The same is also said to be true for Kanye West. Thanks to his career in the music industry, and now his lavish footwear line, Yeezy, Forbes has just recently made it official that he is actually a billionaire.
Last year, the footwear magnate claimed to have a $3 billion-net worth due to his assets. But, the publication has just confirmed his actual worth earlier this year when his team provided an "authentic numeric look" into his empire. However, he is revealed to have an official net worth of $1.3 billion, instead of $3 billion.
In the case of Donald Trump, he has always been known as a billionaire. Although he has repeatedly shared that his worth is much more than what the public sees and knows, the same publication said that he is only worth $3.1 billion, prior to the pandemic crisis.
A more updated look into his wealth came after the lockdown was set in place. As noted, his net worth dropped a billion because of COVID-19.
But, despite the losses, his $2.1 billion-worth remains on a higher ground than the Yeezy owner's $1.3 billion. Therefore, Donald Trump is much wealthier than Kanye West.
