With 22 Grammy wins, 140 million album/single sales and countless world tours, Kanye West is objectively one of the best musicians of all time. With a booming sneaker and apparel business, he is also one of the most successful and wealthy celebrities on the planet.

According to new valuations prepared by investment bank UBS, Kanye's sneaker/apparel partnership with Adidas is worth between $3.2 billion and $4.7 billion. Kanye owns 100% of the Yeezy brand, so those valuations go straight to his bottom line. Furthermore, according to UBS, his partnership with The Gap is worth $1 .

At $6.6 billion, Kanye West is now the richest Black person in American history.

He jumps from fourth place to first place, surpassing Oprah Winfrey's $3.5 billion net worth, David Steward's $3.9 billion net worth and Robert F. Smith's $6.5 billion. Michael Jordan is now the fifth-richest Black person in the US, with a net worth of $2.2 billion.

By our count, Kanye West is the third richest celebrity in the world, behind only Steven Spielberg ($7 billion) and George Lucas ($10 billion).

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann defended singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, who faced backlash for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his film Sardaar Ji 3. Bhagwant Mann noted the film was shot before the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, arguing it’s unfair to call Dosanjh a "gaddar" (traitor). "A Pakistani actress acted in the film, which was made earlier. She speaks Punjabi—our cultures are similar," Mann said at an event.

The soft blush-pink walls, the creamy white accents, those delicate floral arrangements… it all felt like a page out of a fairy tale. I walked through a floral archwa
