Kanye West’s Net Worth Is Astronomical, All Thanks to His Yeezy Empire

Of all the things that are turbulent in his life, at least Kanye West’s net worth remains stable. The Jesus Is King rapper has previously battled with business industry-wide net worth calculators, such as Forbes, over his reported net worth on their site for years. Kanye often claimed that his net worth was far higher than what was publicly estimated, yet never provided sufficient documentation to Forbes to back up such claims. As of 2020, however, that has finally changed.

The updates to Kanye West’s net worth came around the time he formally announced his Yeezy x Gap collaboration in June 2020. “We are excited to welcome Kanye back to the Gap family as a creative visionary, building…

A press availability for John Mozeliak after the pᴀssage of the trade ᴅᴇᴀᴅline is nothing new.

In his decade and a half of running baseball operations for the St. Louis Cardinals, he’s been obliged just as many times to explain the team’s moves to the ᴀssembled media, outlining a vision for compeтιтion that highlights the players added more than the players shipped out.

In recent years, the team has been roundly criticized for its lack of movement at this crucial time of year. All told, it’s likely Mozeliak would’ve preferred that sort of discussion to the one he was obligated to have on Tuesday evening.

Over the last three days, the Cardinals traded away four pitchers (Jack Flaherty, Jordan Hicks, Jordan Montgomery and Chris Stratton) who were set to be free agents at the end of the season, as well as shortstop Paul DeJong, on whom the team held a club option. It was an unequivocal fire sale of the sort that almost no one would have predicted at the season’s open.

“We feel like we gave ourselves a chance to really add to our bench, if you will, and to give us a lot of options moving forward, and something that we don’t have to wait four or five years to see a return on,” Mozeliak said. “So, net net, we’re excited about it, but we still have to be patient, get them in our system and see really where we’re at.”

Including the trade of Génesis Cabrera to Toronto on July 21, the Cardinals acquired ten total players at the ᴅᴇᴀᴅline, seven of whom are pitchers. Only two – lefty reliever John King and lefty starter Drew Rom – are sufficiently advanced in their careers to be part of the 40-player roster. King is the only new addition who joined the Major League team’s active roster.

Triple-A Memphis received a bounty, including three new pitchers for its 2023 rotation – Rom, and righties Sem Robberse and Adam Kloffenstein, both acquired from Toronto. That organizational depth is important. It does not represent a guarantee for 2024, and a big league team that now needs to lock in, at minimum, three starting pitchers to accompany Steven Matz and Miles Mikolas.

“Next year’s roster is going to look different,” Mozeliak said. “We know that we weren’t at the compeтιтive level we wanted to be, and so change has to happen.”

“We’re going to have yeoman’s work to do to fill our rotation,” he added. “We didn’t want to make that even more difficult.”

The rest of this season will be spent, in part, evaluating the internal options for those spots. Matt Liberatore, who has made eight starts in the majors in 2023, will be given the rest of the year on regular turns with regular rest to demonstrate his effectiveness.
