Even though Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s relationship is a thing of the past, West’s investments in stocks for his ex-wife continue to thrive, significantly boosting her financial portfolio.

What Happened: Despite their high-profile divorce, West’s financial decisions continue to influence Kardashian’s wealth. According to Forbes, her net worth currently stands at $1.7 billion.

Kanye made strategic stock investments on Kardashian’s behalf before their separation, many of which have seen impressive returns.
