If you didn’t already think Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were the ultimate power couple, the pair are now both billionaires. Kanye was named a billionaire - precisely worth around £1.06billion - in April after he gave Forbes a glimpse into his personal wealth, with the majority of that money coming from his sneaker line Yeezy. And yesterday, it was announced Kim had also reached the milestone, after selling a 20% stake in her beauty brand, KKW Beauty, for £162 million to US cosmetics giant Coty Inc - meaning the deal now makes Kim’s brand, which has been around for three years, worth around an eye-watering £1billion. Nice.
And what do you do when your partner becomes a billionaire? Congratulate them on social media, of course. Kanye was so happy at the news he made his wife a work of art. Tweeting a photo of some vegetables and flowers, he said how proud he was of his ‘beautiful’ partner for reaching the big one billion. ‘I am so proud of my beautiful wife Kim Kardashian West for officially becoming a billionaire,’ he wrote. ‘You’ve weathered the craziest storms and now God is shining on you and our family / So blessed this is still life / So I made you this still life / We love you so much.’ Cute, we guess?
Kylie Jenner, however, was recently stripped of her self-made billionaire status after the magazine accused her of misleading the world about the profits of her own cosmetics line, Kylie Cosmetics (Coty had previously bought over half of the company). ‘Kylie's business is significantly smaller, and less profitable, than the family has spent years leading the cosmetics industry and media outlets, including Forbes, to believe,’ the magazine wrote. Regardless, there's no doubt America’s First Reality Family are still one of America’s richest families.
