How Big is Kanye West Yeezy Empire

In the summer of 2019, Forbes declared, "Kanye West has one of the biggest hits of the decade, and it has nothing to do with music." Yes, Kanye has become one of the most well-known musicians in the world thanks to his studio albums, which range from his 2004 debut The College Dropout to his most recent Ye. The 42-year-old has established himself as a retail power to be reckoned with thanks to his Yeezy enterprise, which debuted in February 2015 and included a cooperation with German sportswear giant adidas. Regarding the long-standing agreement between adidas and West, the sportswear giant has rights of its own. Adidas designers Nic Galway and Aurelien Longo are listed as the inventors of design patents for the Yeezy 750 Boost, and Galway alone is listed as the inventor of the patent-protected classic Yeezy boost sneaker and its variations. As an example, adidas holds the rights to the Yeezy footwear designs. All of the patents and a related copyright registration have been assigned to adidas and are subsequently owned by them. In exchange for the use of his Yeezy marks, West gets paid royalties dependent on sales. Hence, West received a $191 million payment from adidas in 2020. That’s it for today’s video.
