KANYE West and Kim Kardashian “keep their money separate” — which is good news for Kim as Kanye claims he is $72 million in debt.

In an epic Twitter rant spanning several days, the rapper spilt his heart out about the cash he’s invested and lost pursuing his love of fashion, as he lashed out at the world in general.

The Yeezy fashion line founder, 38, wrote: “My dreams brought me into debt and I’m close to seeing the light of day.

“For the past 3 years people who knew about the debt tried to use it against me in negotiations.

“Perhaps a fashion group will cover the 53 that I’ve invested over the past 13 years.”

While Kanye’s investments may not have paid off, it seems canny Kim’s quietly been raking in the dollars — and keeping it safely tucked away from her fashion-loving husband.

A source revealed: “They keep their accounts basically separate,” and added that Kanye will “talk about ‘my money’ and ‘her money.’”

Kanye wrote: “Yes I am personally rich and I can buy furs and houses for my family.

“If I spent my money on my ideas I could not afford to take care of my family. I am in a place that so many artist end up.”

Deeper investigation shows it’s actually Kim, 35, who’s feathering the nest most effectively.

Just days after spendthrift Kanye used Twitter to beg Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for $US1 billion, it has emerged that his wife is No 33 on the 2015 Forbes highest paid celebs list, with $US53 million earned that year.

Meaning she could pay Kanye’s debt off in one go.

The great rapper failed to make the top 100 of the same list.

Perhaps the business model for his new album The Life Of Pablo isn’t the best.

He wrote: “My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale ... You can only get it on Tidal.”

He also forbade “white news agencies” from writing about his music.
