Well…wait, forget about a millionaire, we have got a billionaire in the house and he is none other than Kim Kardashian’s husband and rapper Kanye West. That’s right. As per the reports in Forbes, Kanye has now officially become a billionaire, thanks to the basketball shoes bearing his name with Adidas. The magazine said that the rapper is now on the list of people worth at least USD 1 billion and Kanye holds ‘this many’ amount with him right now.

Well, the rough figure of the wealth of Kim Kardashian's hubby is currently USD 1.3 billion. The magazine also mentioned that the 42-year-old rapper often sells his spunky footwear for more than USD 200 a pair in the United States and elsewhere as well.

He mentioned that he would drink vodka and orange juice in the morning and also referred to himself as a ‘functioning alcoholic’ in the past. He also partially blamed the Hollywood life and award shows for his alcoholism.
