Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and more celebrities named billionaires

Kim Kardashian – like some members of her glamorous family – is considered a billionaire by Forbes magazine and placed among the ranks of a handful of Hollywood celebrities to win the title.

The publication recently awarded her estranged husband, Kanye West, the title of billionaire, and before that her sister Kylie Jenner, though it was withdrawn after a deeper dive into her assets.

In October 2020, Kardashian’s net worth was estimated at $ 780 million, but just a few months and a few hundred thousand dollars later, she broke a major barrier thanks to her latest business ventures: KKW Beauty and Skims.

Here’s a look at some other Hollywood stars who have been named billionaires:

West is considered a billionaire by Forbes in April 2020, which is estimated to be worth about $ 1.3 billion.

However, the ‘Power’ rapper disputes the number and says at the outlet that he is worth $ 3.3 billion.

Furthermore, its exact net worth is confused by Celebrity Net Worth’s estimate of $ 6.6 billion.

Although Jenner is only disputed at 23, he is a billionaire.

Forbes originally awarded the title “the youngest homemade billionaire ever” in March 2019.

Only a few months later, the store withdrew the title, saying that the star, after re-examining the self-inflated numbers provided to them, was worth just under $ 900 million. Jenner stood by the figures she provided at the outlet.

Because she’s a media magnate, it’s no surprise that Oprah Winfrey will be named a billionaire among her ventures in television, film and more.

An actress, Weight Watchers spokeswoman, producer, network owner, author and more, Forbes estimated that Winfrey is worth between $ 2.6 and $ 2.7 billion.
