Kanye West's financial troubles are deepening, with reports revealing that he owes over $1 million in unpaid taxes.
According to sources, West's debts include unpaid property taxes on his Wyoming ranch, totaling more than $5,000.
These liabilities compound existing issues, such as $934,033 in tax liens against his Yeezy Apparel business and an additional $101,093 for properties in Los Angeles.
The situation has also affected West's Yeezy fashion brand, which reportedly faced operational challenges including website closures and product shortages.
These setbacks are estimated to have potentially cost the company millions in lost revenue. Reports suggest that West has hired designers with limited experience, including students and interns, and even advertised for design roles on Craigslist.
Despite these financial setbacks, Yeezy Apparel managed to expand operations last year by opening a new headquarters in California and seeking interns.
However, financial experts caution that the presence of substantial tax liens could hinder Yeezy's ability to secure future funding and partnerships.
In California, Yeezy Apparel's tax troubles are significant, with four outstanding tax liens totaling $934,033.56.
The earliest lien, dating back to 2021, started with unpaid taxes of $8,866.30, which ballooned to $13,999.28 due to penalties and interest. Subsequent liens increased the total owed to $319,356.58 as of March 2023.
Personal finances are also under scrutiny, as West faces liens for unpaid property taxes on properties in Calabasas, California.
Records indicate he owes $101,093 for an apartment and mansion acquired during his marriage to Kim Kardashian.
West's representatives have not responded to requests for comment on these developments, leaving observers to speculate on the future of both his personal finances and the Yeezy brand amidst these mounting challenges.
