Celebrity power couple Kanye West and Kim Kardashian or simply just "KimYe" to their fans, have doubled their net worth. After signing their prenuptial agreement and extravagant wedding in Italy, recent reports claim that KimYe's net worth is doubled in an estimated $170 million value. But between these two fabulously rich and famed personalities, who is worth more?
Now that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have combined their respective entertainment realms into one massive empire, the numbers are in.
It is unlikely surprising that Kanye West's fortune far exceeds that of his wife, Kim Kardashian. Kim Kardashian is an American TV star, fashion designer and actress who stars on several reality shows, including "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and the "Kourtney and Kim" series. Husband Kanye West is a successful and world-renowned rapper, songwriter and producer who has sold more than 87 million records worldwide. He is a 21-time Grammy Award winner and was named as one of "Time Magazine's" list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. "Rolling Stone" magazine considers three of his albums to be among the 500 Greatest of All-Time.
Kim Kardashian began dating Kanye West after filing for divorce from NBA player Kris Humphries. Her divorce to Humphries became official after a settlement in June 2013, after Kim and Kanye had been dating since April 2012. KimYe announced their engagement in October of 2013 and married in 2014 in Italy before honeymooning in Ireland. In 2013, the couple welcomed their daughter North "Nori" West.
The exact sum amount of their respective net worth might be unclear, but reports said that Kanye West's total net worth is twice as of his wife, Kim Kardashian, with a cost of $120 million. While Kim Kardashian's net worth stands at a cool $65 million. Her salary from reality television shows is a astounding $80,000 for each episode. She also runs a successful fashion empire with her sisters and her own line of jewelry, and is not shy about lending her name or image to a number of different companies.
In 2004, upon releasing his his debut album, The College Dropout, Kanye West worked behind the scenes as a producer for artists like Jermaine Dupri, Ludacris, Nas, and Jay Z. Now internationally acclaimed artist, Kanye West has begun to explore his business ventures outside of music. He created his own line of sneakers with Nike called Air Yeezys and collaborated with Louis Vuitton for a shoe line. In 2011, he launched his own women's fashion line called DW Kanye West, and back home in Chicago, he owns a chain of Fatburger restaurants that generate some steady income.
Kim Kardashian may not be worth as much as her husband, but she also brings in earnings from her tv contracts, endorsement deals, business and her other sources of income.
With money like that, KimYe's fortune and empire continues to prosper in the decades to come. And with the said combined estimated net worth of $170 million, it is without a doubt that they are one of the world's powerful wealthier couple in every sense of the phrase.
