Kanye West knows how to get to the bag. Over the years, fans have seen the Chicago rap legend earn a lot of cash through his music career and business endeavors, yet he’s hitting a point in his life where he’s making a different type of money.
On Thursday (May 25), footage of Kanye at an event surfaced online, and fans can see a woman asking him a question. The 44-year-old looked at the wad of cash in her hands with a slight smile and a dished out a quick flex in response.
“What you want me to pose with that?” Ye asked as he looked at the money. “I ain’t going to lie to you. I ain’t touch cash in like four years.”
West shrugged his shoulders after giving that statement and started laughing after someone next to him yelled, “That’s real wealth.”

According to the Forbes billionaire list, Kanye West is worth an estimated $2 billion, with most of his money coming from his deals with Adidas and Gap. He’s even been tapped to redesign McDonald’s packaging alongside Muji industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa.
Earlier this week, Ye posted a photo of a reimagined McDonald’s box on his Instagram Story and explained to fans that he would be taking on design duties with Fukasawa in the near future. The packaging comes in the shape of a rectangular cube with the outsides resembling a cheeseburger and the signature golden arches logo on top.
On the music side of things, Yeezy will reportedly be releasing a finalized version of Donda 2. According to a press release, the announcement coincides with Ye and XXXTENTACION’s upcoming collaboration, “True Love,” which is expected to arrive on Friday (May 27).
