How Everyone on Twitter is Reacting to Forbes’ Claim of Kanye West not being America’s Richest Black Man

March 19,2021
Share:

Forbes dismissed claims that Kanye West is the richest black man in American history, with his companies estimated at $6.6 billion. Kanye West was reportedly worth $6.6 billion, according to several media sources, after Bloomberg revealed that his sneaker brand Yeezy and Yeezy Gap had a net valuation of up to $4.7 billion.

“It’s not true, based on our calculations. Forbes estimates he’s worth less than a third of that, or $1.8 billion. That’s a big jump from last May when Forbes first pegged his net worth to be $1.3 billion, but nowhere near as much as the purported $6.6 billion,” Forbes said.

“Vista Equity’s Robert F. Smith remains the richest Black person in the U.S., worth an estimated $6 billion, while Aliko Dangote of Nigeria, worth $11.8 billion, is the richest Black person in the world.”

Here’s how everyone is reacting to Forbes’ claim:

So #forbes has more clout than #Bloomberg ? He’s wealthier than @djvlad @sc and @Beyonce combined if this is true and even at $1.6B isn’t @kanyewest still ahead of jay z?? #KanyeWest Forbes undervalued #RaloFamGoon and he owned his block. pic.twitter.com/v8BoJ9VI7E

This reminds me of that hard hitting article by Forbes that Kylie lied about being a billionaire. Why are y’all like this? Y’all won’t let a black man win. 🥴
