<h3 style="text-align: center;">Kanye West Still Ends Up Highest-Paid Hip-Hop Artist, Along With Jay-Z</h3>
<p>Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian’s sister Kylie Jenner was also removed from the list. She had last been on it back in 2019, when she was given the title of youngest self-made billionaire in the world.</p>
<p>West, 45, still ended up being the highest-paid hip-hop artist, along with Jay-A, in 2021, thanks to his Yeezy fashion line.</p>
<p>However, his antisemitic remarks made last year caused Adidas to end their working relationship with Kanye.</p>
<p>In Oct. 2022, West’s billionaire net worth then continued to drop due to the sports brand cutting their ties, decreasing his net worth down to about $400 million.</p>
