Kanye West is a renowned American rapper, producer and fashion designer with an estimated net worth of $130 million. He is considered as one of the world's bestselling artists of all time. He is married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian and has a daughter, North "Nori" West.

Kanye West's net worth is currently making some noise after his recent controversial stint at the Grammy Awards 2015. During the awards night that took place Sunday, The Daily Mail reported the rapper stormed the Grammy stage when Beck was about to deliver his speech for winning the "Album of the Year" Award.

Though it seemed to be a joke, the audience where left in shock since Kanye West had already done the same scenario with pop singer Taylor Swift during the VMA in 2009.

While Kanye West, who has a $130 million fortune as listed by Celebrity Net Worth, was just bluffing in interrupting Beck's speech, things became heated backstage. The controversial rapper spoke to sister-in-law Khloe Kardashian, who's reporting for E!, about his disappointment to the event organizers and panned Beck.

"They run the music over the speeches because they want the commercial advertising - no we not playing with them no more," West criticized the organizers then attacked Beck saying, "Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé."

"At this point - we're tired of it because what happens is, you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental music," West continued. "You are disrespectful to inspiration."

Meanwhile, Beck responded to Kanye West's statements saying he can't please everyone.

"I was so excited he was coming up! He deserves to be on that stage," Beck told People before adding, "You can't please everybody. I still love him and think he's genius. I aspire to what he does."

Another equally surprising incident at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards was when Kanye West, the successful rapper with over a hundred million net worth, was photographed with singer Taylor Swift. Swift seemed to have forgiven Kanye and forgotten the embarrassing incident in 2009. Hollywood Life reported Taylor and Kanye might have reconciled as they were seen with their arms wrapped around each other

Notorious for being an outspoken and controversial celebrity, Kanye has often been the source of incidents at awards shows. While Celebrity Net Worth lists Kanye West's fortune as $130 million, The Richest reports only $120 million.
