That adds up to the 1.3 billion total, the magazine said, placing him above sister-in-law Kylie Jenner, who has a comparatively modest 1 billion net worth, largely from her cosmetics business.

Despite now being officially classed as a billionaire, Kanye was unhappy with Forbes and claimed they had undervalued him.

“It’s not a billion,” Kanye reportedly texted them. “It’s 3.3 billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count.”
