Kanye West is now officially a billionaire—and he really wants the world to know by zogblog

But it’s also functionally tied, at least for five-plus years based on the documents we saw, to Adidas, which produces, markets and distributes the shoes. There’s also a separate apparel division which we don’t believe makes money.
