Kanye West’s 5 percent stake in Skims climbs to $250 million after the brand hits a $5 billion valuation.
Skims, co-founded by Emma Grede, hit a $5-billion valuation after raising $225 million to boost global expansion and new stores.
Co-founded by Kanye West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, the shapewear company is considering future pathways for growth and expansion.
Despite his setback in 2022, when Adidas severed ties with his Yeezy brand, West remains a top figure among the global Black elite.
Beyond her successful venture with Skims, Grede is also making waves in the retail industry through Good American.
West’s stake in Skims is now worth $200 million, a $40-million increase from its value of $160 million at the start of the year.
The company, co-founded by Kim Kardashian and Grede in 2019, has witnessed a meteoric rise due to its emphasis on inclusivity and body positivity.
