Kim Kardashian reveals she didn’t feel financially secure during marriage to Kanye West


American billionaire Kim Kardashian has disclosed that she did not feel financially secure during her marriage to rapper and fashion mogul Kanye West, despite the former power couple being worth billions.

For years, the pair appeared to be the epitome of success and wealth, leading many to believe financial discomfort was the last thing either of them would ever face.

However, Kim recently disclosed that the fear about their financial future played a major role in her decision to walk away from the marriage.

Speaking during an October interview with Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kim revealed that she felt unsafe financially because Kanye was “reckless” with their shared assets.

She explained that the instability became deeply unsettling.

The reality star described moments where she would return home only to find that Kanye had given away luxury cars during what she referred to as his “episodes.”

“I would come home, and we had like five Lamborghinis, and I’d come home and they’d all be gone, you know, if he was in an episode. And I’d be like, ‘Oh, wait, where’s all our cars? My new car’ … And it would be like, oh, he gave them away to all of his friends,” Kim shared.

Her revelation shocked many fans who believed the couple’s immense wealth made them immune to financial strain.

Kim Kardashian is currently estimated to be worth $1.7 billion, largely from her SKIMS empire and her role on The Kardashians.

Kanye West’s net worth, meanwhile, is estimated at $2.77 billion as of 2025, a figure he attributes to his music and full ownership of the Yeezy brand.

The two maintain separate financial empires, and their divorce was officially finalised in 2021.
