Smith is ranked 367 on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with a net worth of $7.05 billion. According to Black Enterprise Magazine, he is credited with consistently generating a 30 percent rate of return for his investors from his company's inception to 2020.

It is so nice to meet you Mr Robert F. Smith.

What a Great man of timber and caliber.

Kanye net worth is actually 6.6 billion but forbes won't acknowledge it because it's based on future projections and not current sales. Also forbes just increase his net worth form 1.3 to 1.8 billion and his yeezy sneakers make 1.7 billion last year in sales according to forbes.

Mhen.....see how fresh the man is looking. Omo, money good oooo.
