There was a time when Kanye was struggling with finances in order to get his fashion line off the ground. At one point, Kanye even said he was in massive debt. Now, Yeezy is laughing all the way to the bank. His sneaker collection is projected to make $1.5 billion this year. And Kanye also landed at number 3 on the Forbes Highest Paid Entertainers list making $150 million in income over the last year.
