You really brought up a bankruptcy article from 2016 as if Kanye didn't shortly after launch his Yeezy line with Adidas that has been the most popular shoe in the west for the past 5+ years now.

The dude made Adidas and Balenciaga BILLIONS of dollars in revenue, so much so that other companies were lining up at his door to save their fashion brands, up until his very public meltdown late last year.

With all the contracts he had before his meltdown, he was valued at around 5-6 billion dollars.
