On Thursday Forbes announced the 2020 edition of its yearly Celeb 100 checklist and revealed Kanye West as the world’s best-paid out musician.
Clocking in with 2020 earnings of $170 million, the rapper ranks at number two, just at the rear of sister-in-law Kylie Jenner, whose billionaire standing was called into question last 7 days by the magazine due to discrepancies in the money statements of her ultra-effective Kylie Cosmetics brand.
According to the magazine, West is now officially truly worth $1.3 billion.
His recently-acquired tax bracket is thanks in big element to the multi-hyphenate’s deal with Adidas for his massively well known sneaker model Yeezy, which drove in that same 7-determine quantity in product sales in 2019. Introducing to West’s net really worth are revenue from his Yeezy clothing line — the brand name of which he owns outright — as perfectly as his music.
Curiously, the future artist on the record is Elton John (No. 14 with $81 million in yearly earnings), adopted intently by Ariana Grande at No. 17 ($72 million) and the Jonas Brothers at No. 20 ($68.5 million).
All 3 entries in the best 20 are final results of touring: John’s electrical Farewell Yellow Brick Street tour introduced in a whopping $212 million in 2019 as the 2nd most effective tour of the 12 months, while Ari’s Sweetener World Tour grossed $146 million.
The JoBros’ long-awaited comeback paid out major dividends as nicely, earning the boys more than $1.5 million on every prevent of the Contentment Begins Tour.
