Kanye West Has Been On A $4M Balenciaga Spending Spree
Kanye West has reportedly spent over $4 million on Balenciaga in the past 12 months, if his latest Instagram Story post is anything to go by.
The Yeezy mogul shared a photo of a receipt from a recent trip to the luxury fashion house, while telling fans that his purchasing history has been “crazy.”
The receipt revealed that Ye had spent $4,113,034 at Balenciaga in the past 12 months and that he had just dropped $1,120,166 on a woman’s shirt.

Kanye’s latest shopping spree at Balenciaga comes as his own Yeezy Gap clothing line from Balenciaga becomes available on store shelves for the first time ever.
Pieces from Yeezy Gap Engineered By Balenciaga hit the shelves of Gap’s flagship Times Square store in New York City on Thursday (July 21).
Gap’s Times Square store was “reengineered and distilled to its most essential form in Yeezy Gap Engineered By Balenciaga’s vision of utilitarian design,” according to a press release. “The entry into Gap stores fulfills the vision to deliver Yeezy Gap design on a larger scale.”
The Yeezy Gap collection has shown to be a fruitful venture for the Chicago rap star, as he revealed on Instagram earlier this month that his line has contributed to “two of the biggest sales day[s] in Gap history.” Kanye wrote that the $80 Yeezy Gap Perfect Hoodie seen in his January “Heaven And Hell” music video raked in over $14 million in sales “off of a television commercial that was ran one time.”
While the achievement was not lost on Kanye, he also took the time to shout out Bob Martin the Executive Chairman at Gap.
“On my moms birthday I was able for the first time to sit in on a Gap call with Bob Martin, Bob Fisher and other leads of the company,” Ye captioned a photo of Bob Martin. “Bob Martin was one of the most inspiring people I’ve heard speak in business. He kept saying go to the stores on the call.”
He continued: “I came to Gap to put good product directly in stores…I came to Gap to bring good quality products to the people at all times. Bob I need to meet with you as soon as possible.”
