It’s no secret that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are living the life of luxury. They had recently done an interview with Vogue where they showed the world just how lavish and nice their multi-million dollar mansion is.

From the home’s breathtaking architecture to their crazy bathroom sinks, everything about their house screams Hollywood royalty.

The fact they live such a lavish lifestyle came as no surprise to anyone. After all, they both have very successful careers. Kanye is an award-winning musician and Kim is one of the stars of her family’s reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

They both have many other profitable projects that they have taken part in. They own their own children’s clothing line, Kim owns her own makeup line, and it looks like she may even become a lawyer soon.

With all of the jobs these two both have, who is actually worth more? Here is what we know about Kim and Kanye’s net worth.

There is not one member of the Kardashian-Jenner family who is not considered extremely wealthy. In fact, Kim’s younger sister, Kylie, is the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.

Kim may not have as much money as the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, but she is still doing okay for herself. According to Forbes, Kim is worth an estimated $350 million.

How did the 38-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashian star accumulate such an impressive net worth? She has apparently made quite a bit of money with creating her own mobile app called Kim Kardashian: Hollywood and her own emoji called the Kimoji. She has also made a lot of money from her reality show.

However, the one venture that has seemed to have brought in the most money is her cosmetics line KKW Beauty.

The cosmetics industry seems to be a smart entrepreneurial move for the Kardashian-Jenner kids. In fact, Kylie’s cosmetics line is what has made her a billionaire. Kim’s cosmetics line is still pretty young, but it has already accumulated over $100 million in revenue. When her creme contour kits first came out for $48 a piece, Kim had apparently sold her entire inventory (around 300,000 units) in just a couple of hours.

Since then, Kim has expanded her cosmetics line to include lipsticks, fragrances, powder, lip liner, and eyeshadow. And fans can’t seem to get enough of her entire cosmetics line.

What is Kanye West’s net worth?

Kanye West is arguably one of the greatest hip-hop artists of our time. He is also one of the most controversial. He once said:

“I think I have the best reputation in the building. They want you to have the reputation of tucking your black nail polish into your pockets and sitting in the corner of the class, and not fighting for your ideas out of fear of being ridiculed. That’s one of my favorite ones…To be called crazy.”

Whether you agree with some of the things he has said in the past, there is no denying he is a hard worker that is constantly looking for new and inventive ways to make money.

According to Cosmopolitan, Kanye is worth an estimated $160 million. His earnings are primarily made from his successful career as a recording artist and producer. Plus, he has also ventured into the fashion world and has collaborated with Adidas to create his famous Yeezy line of apparel.
