Kanye West and Kim Kardashian once created an empire that made a lot of money in American showbiz.

Last year, Kanye West signed a 10-year apparel design and sales deal with the Yeezy Gap label. Currently, the male rapper still retains full ownership and creative rights with this company. In addition to the golden egg-laying hen Yeezy, Kanye West also makes money from the music industry as well as 1.7 USD from other fields, including ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand.

The couple officially filed for divorce in February after nearly 7 years of marriage and having 4 children together. The rapper moved out of the couple’s shared house before last Christmas. Kardashian is currently negotiating to share custody of her children with Kanye West. Because they both own a large amount of assets, the media predicts that the dispute over dividing Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s assets will not be simple.
