Being a big name in the entertainment industry has its perks. Whether it be sports, music, or theatre, the ever-increasing demand from the public has made it an extremely profitable business. Tiger Woods and Kanye West are two of the biggest examples, who pushed all boundaries and established their supremacy in the world. And although what they do is poles apart, one common and massive similarity between them is the extensive wealth they have amassed over the years.

Even if you’re not the biggest music enthusiast, Kanye West’s name is something you’re bound to have come across. He is an American rapper, record producer, and fashion designer, widely regarded as one of the most influential men in his genre. He has 21 Grammy awards to his name, a shared tenth place in history. Besides being named to the list of the 100 greatest songwriters of all time, he also features on Time’s list of 100 most influential people in the world.

On the other hand, Tiger Woods needs to introduction to the world of sports. His contribution to golf is noteworthy, being responsible for giving it the global reach it enjoys today. With 82 PGA Tour wins and 15 major titles, he holds multiple records that have assured him of being one of the finest players that the sport has ever produced.

Is Kanye West richer than Tiger Woods?

Kanye’s career earnings far exceed the legacy that Woods has created for himself. According to Forbes, the 44-year-old singer’s fortune is a massive figure of $1.8 billion. And while Tiger tops the list amongst golfers- and most sports stars- his net worth of $800 million pales in comparison to the formers. However, the truth stands that the industry Kanye has immersed himself in; music and apparel have far more money in them than golf currently does.

The richest rapper in American history; Kanye West has sold roughly 140 million albums/singles in his career. However, the major chunk of his income comes from his brand ‘Yeezy’, in collaboration with Adidas. In fact, Kanye earns $150-$200 million in Yeezy royalties every year. Moreover, his other assets and liabilities, especially his Gap partnership, assure him of a figure that is only increasing every year.
