Kanye West and Elon Musk seem to have a similar fashion sense.
In a tweet this morning, West shared it with him and his fellow billionaire posing for a photo at Musk’s house. Both men wore orange shapes, in black pants and Adidas Yeezy sneakers.
West wore a neon orange zipper over a camo shirt, paired with shiny black pants that appeared to be made of leather. Standing, the rapper-turned-designer sported Yeezy Quantum’s “Barium,” which launched online in late June.
The basketball-inspired sneaker has a dark brown wavy panel on top, with a soft black suede outsole box, a rubber outsole, and a full-length Boost midsole. While the shoe sold out quickly in retail, the style is available to buy now on StockX.com in the $ 300 price range, a premium of about $ 50 over its starting price of $ 250.
Meanwhile, Musk wore a black T-shirt with an orange on his shoulder, combined with matching straight-leg pants. For footwear, the Tesla magnate selected the Yeezy 500 High in “Slate”. Launched in December 2019, the sneaker has a navy and dark gray upper, with a light gray sole. While the shoe retails for $ 220, it’s actually available in the resale market for less than that now, with pairs trading in the $ 172 to $ 206 range at StockX.com.
“When you go to your kids’ house and they both wear orange,” West captioned the image.
In addition to having their footwear choice in common, Musk and West also have another similarity between them: the size of three accounts in their bank accounts. Musk’s net worth is estimated to be around $ 42.7 billion. Meanwhile, West just joined the billionaire club in April, according to Forbes, with an estimated net worth of $ 1.3 billion.
That figure includes $ 1.26 billion from West’s Yeezy empire as it owns 100% of the Yeezy brand. Additionally, West has $ 102 million in real estate, as well as approximately $ 90 million of his music label and recording and publishing rights.
For 2019, Forbes estimates that the Adidas Yeezy line generated around $ 1.3 billion in revenue for 2019, and West took home about $ 140 million of that. In addition to his long-standing partnership with Adidas, Yeezy signed a multi-year deal with Gap last week, under which Yeezy will receive royalties and potential capital related to sales achievement.
