While Kanye West has <\/span>really departed<\/span><\/a> from the artist we knew who <\/span>just wanted to shine<\/span><\/a>, there is one thing we really have to give the man: he is<\/em> a visionary. Back in 2018, in a rapid fire stream of consciousness on Twitter<\/a>, \u2018Ye told everyone that his brand Yeezy \u201cwill become the biggest apparel brand company in human history by working with the most genius level talents and creating product at an affordable price.\u201d He also said his brand had made him very, very rich. \u201cI am currently the single highest paid person in footwear,” he said at the time. “That means I make more money on shoes than Michael Jordan.\u201d Now, three years later, all of what he said seems to have come to pass. On Thursday, <\/span>Bloomberg reported<\/span><\/a> West\u2019s Yeezy brand is worth close to $6.6 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

there's been a lot of fake news so I just wanted to give you the facts. Yeezy will become the biggest apparel company in human history by working with the most genius level talents and creating product at an affordable price. I hired the head of supply chain from the Gap.<\/p>\n
