Bianca Censori ‘eyes off’ $115m slice of Kanye West’s empire
Kanye West has laid bare his eye-watering $A4.3 billion fortune and where he hides almost $A115 million of it – amid reports he is “terrified.”
As Kanye West and Bianca Censori seemingly head for divorce following the rapper’s continued questionable outbursts, the Melbourne designer could also reap her share of West’s cmassive empire.
The couple, who wed in secrecy back in December 2022, raised eyebrows with a bizarre appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, before more of West’s online outbursts.
With US media reporting Censori, has “had enough” of 47-year-old West’s erratic behaviour.
It remains to be seen whether the couple will personally address the rumours but the couple not having a prenup could work for Censori.
West last month claimed he had an astronomical $US2.77 billion ($A4.3 billion) net worth
However Forbes estimates it as far mor modest $US400m.

In total, West is understood to own around $US75 million ($A115 million) worth of property and a lack of prenup may lead to a multimillion dollar battle with is ex-wife to be over assets.
Reports suggest that West and Censori have not only split, but that they are no longer living together, claiming that the model is residing alone inside their $35 million ($A53 million) Beverly Hills mansion.
The property is the latest in a long line of lavish homes that West had over the years — and was snapped up just months after he took a $36 million loss purchase on a Malibu beach home that he gutted and then abandoned before completing his planned renovations.

Bianca Censori’s back up plan
Censori however does have a back up plan – she still has access to her Aussie home in Melbourne.
Her family home in Alphington, in the city’s north east, is estimated to be worth $2.8 million and serves as a personal canvas for her architectural talents.
According to PropTrack, the median house price in Alphington is $1.84m, that’s up 3.4 per cent over the past 12 months and more than double the national median.
It’s believed she doesn’t own any independent property in the US.

Beverly Hills Home
West snapped up the $US35 million ($A53 million) luxe pad in Beverly Hills in October.
According to Realtor, the rapper purchased his 11-bedroom, 18-bathroom mansion in the exclusive Beverly North Park community through a limited liability company (LLC) — the same LLC he used to purchase his $US57.25 ($87 million) Malibu abode in 2021.
Ye purchased his new home in an off-market deal; the property was last put on the market in 2022, when it was sold for $US24.5 million, records show.
The musician’s latest property has plenty of other alluring features. The enormous residence boasts its own paddle tennis court, a large swimming pool with its own pool house.
Gutted Malibu House
The Yeezy founder closed on his Beverly Hills property on October 25, despite having just taken a huge $US36 million ($A54 million) loss on a Malibu beach house that he purchased for $US57.25 ($87 million) in 2021.
After buying the home, which was designed by renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando, Ye then proceeded to gut it, reducing the once-revered building to little more than a shell.
He then proceeded to fully gut the property reportedly in the hopes of turning it into a bomb shelter.
However, the controversial rapper abandoned his plans shortly after tearing the home apart, leaving it empty and exposed to the elements.
The run-down state of the property raised furious backlash from architecture lovers.
Despite its dilapidated condition, Ye listed the property for an eye-watering $US53 million ($A81.7 million) in January 2024, enlisting celebrity agent and “Selling Sunset” star Jason Oppenheim to help him offload the home.
Given its less-than-liveable state, the concrete mansion failed to attract a buyer, and in April, the price was cut to $US39 million ($A60.1 million).
Three months later, the listing was updated to indicate that a sale was pending — and now, the identity of the buyer has been revealed, as well as the painfully large loss Ye took on the property.
Belwood Investments, a real estate investment company based in California, paid around $US21 million ($A31.9 million) for the home and, in a press release, its CEO, Bo Belmont, announced plans to invest a further $US5 million ($A7.6 million) to restore Ando’s original work.

Wyoming Ranch
In 2019, the rapper made headlines when he set his sights on thousands of acres of land in Wyoming.
Although it is unclear just how much he splashed out for the property, Ye surely made a name for himself in the area, dubbing the nearly 4,000-acre spread “West Lake Ranch.”
At the time, reports emerged that the entertainer had ambitious plans for the property, including using it to fight homelessness.
Ye’s lucrative homes that sit on the ranch boast seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms and are just eight miles away from Cody, Wyoming.
The listing noted: “This ranch is equipped with horse barns, corrals and plenty of storage.”
The property also came complete with “100 acres of surface water,” making it a perfect spot for an outdoor enthusiast.
Ye listed the Wyoming ranch as his residence on his marriage license to lover Bianca Censori, 30.

However, just two years after purchasing it, the rapper was ready to say his goodbyes to the property.
However, just two years after he purchased a couple of massive Wyoming ranches, the rapper placed his Monster Lake Ranch back on the market.
Although it is unclear how much the musician splashed out for the ranch, it had been listed in the range of $US13 million to $US14 million before the price was reduced to $US11 million.
The home seemed to be snapped up by another buyer in June 2024, with the listing revealing that the “once-in-a-lifetime” property comes with a lodge, commercial kitchen, and entertainment features such as a go-kart track and trophy trout fishing.
The 3,888 acres include views of the sandstone cliffs and the Absaroka Range, making it a “premier Wyoming ranch investment,” the listing added.
Ys reportedly still owns a second ranch that he picked up that year, possibly with the intention of holding his Sunday Services there.
That 6,713-acre ranch reportedly includes heated helicopter pads and walk-in saunas.

Hidden Hills Home
In 2014, Ye and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, splashed out a whopping $US20 million on a lavish mansion in the star-studded Los Angeles community of Hidden Hills.
The eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom home came complete with a five-car garage, two swimming pools, two barbecue centres, a secluded pool house, and two vineyards.
The kitchen was fit for a chef, as it featured three large islands and a Viking range.
The mansion was also certainly purchased with their four children in mind, as it features a game room.

Although lavish, when it came time to split, the rapper was forced to say goodbye to the property as he handed it over to his ex.
Kardashian insisted on keeping the keys to the mansion because her kids were already settled in, and it was near her mother Kris Jenner‘s home and her sister Kourtney Kardashian‘s place.
Just months after the couple divorced, it was reported that West purchased a home across the street for $US4.5 million; however, it is unclear if he still owns the property as it appears to be abandoned.
