Yeezy has collaborated with Adidas AG and Gap Inc., valued by UBS Group AG at US$3.2 billion (AU$4.2 billion) to $4.7 billion (AU$6.1 billion), as reported by Bloomberg.

The Gap tie-in would be worth up to $970 million (AU$1.2 billion) of that total amount. It will include men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing.

After the partnership was announced last June, West told podcast host Nick Cannon that his wealth had risen to $US5 billion (approx AU$6 billion). Gap’s shares also increased to their highest in 40 years.

According to Bloomberg, the rapper has US$1.7 billion in assets including investments in ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s underwear range, Skims. His music catalogue is worth a reported $110.5 million, according to a valuation by the Valentiem group.

Bloomberg also received access to an unaudited balance sheet by West’s lawyer, which revealed an additional $122 million in stock and cash.

His Adidas sneaker deal is his most lucrative, seeing royalties last year of $191 million.

In 2016, West claimed he was $53 million in debt.
