On June 29, Forbes reported that Kardashian West sold a stake in KKW Beauty, her beauty brand, to Coty Inc for $200 million. However, Forbes estimates that the deal actually leaves Kardashian West with a net worth of $900 million.
The deal leaves Kardashian West as the majority owner of KKW Beauty with a 72% stake in the company,
Similarly, Kardashian West's sister Kylie Jenner sold 51% of Kylie Cosmetics to Coty for $600 million (pricing her company at about $1.2 billion) earlier this year. Again, Forbes estimates that this left Jenner with a net worth of around $900 million, like her sister.
Kardashian West herself hasn't tweeted about the deal yet, although she did tweet that she was "so blessed and forever grateful" a few hours before her husband's message.
Kardashian West also tweeted about her daughter North's birthday, which she said they were celebrating "Wyoming style."
Meanwhile, West himself teased new music from his upcoming album "God's Country."
