West's wealth has grown exponentially over the years. In 2007, for instance, he made $17 million. Last year, however, he made $200 million.

So, what is Kanye West's net worth?

It is estimated to be in the neighborhood of $6.6 billion.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ye is the richest Black person in American history, he earns between $150 and $200 million in Yeezy royalties every year, while his partnership with The Gap is worth $1 billion. On top of that, he owns $100 million in real estate and Yeezy's enterprise value adds between $3 and $5 billion to his overall net worth.

West has also spent a considerable amount of money on charity, establishing the Kanye West Foundation.

West said on Monday that Donda was released without his approval, as reported by the BBC.

"Universal put my album out without my approval and they blocked Jail 2 from being on the album," the rapper wrote on social media, referring to his label Universal Music Group.

Jail 2 includes contributions from rock musician Marilyn Manson and rapper DaBaby. Manson is facing multiple allegations of sexual abuse, while DaBaby is being accused of making homophobic remarks.

The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi and several others also feature on Donda.
