Kanye West Says He Makes More Money on Shoes Than Michael Jordan

According to Kanye West, Yeezy Brand has officially “jumped over Jumpman.” This morning, Mr. West took to Twitter to let the people know he’s currently “the single highest paid person in footwear,” while also adding “that means I make more money on shoes than Michael Jordan.” While we all know his Yeezy Brand produces some of the sneaker industry’s most sought-after shoes, the Kids See Ghost rapper broke it down in a series of tweets to provide some more clarity:

yes I got rid of my last lawyer why? Because he wouldn't come to work full time. I also asked my last manager to come work full time for Yeezy of course the last lawyer and manager said no. So now I hired a CEO and a CFO and i have two full time lawyers as of now.

We have 160 positions to fill by the end of the year. Yeezy will hit a billion dollars this year. It is the 2nd fastest growing company in history. It is a unicorn on its way to becoming a decacorn.

I am currently the single highest paid person in footwear. That means I make more money on shoes than Michael Jordan.

there's been a lot of fake news so I just wanted to give you the facts. Yeezy will become the biggest apparel company in human history by working with the most genius level talents and creating product at an affordable price. I hired the head of supply chain from the Gap.
