SUPER RICH: Kim & Kanye SUPER RICH: Kim & Kanye

Kanye West has paid tribute to wife Kim Kardashian for becoming a billionaire.

The rapper took to Twitter to praise the reality TV star and make-up mogul for reaching the status after she weathered the “craziest storms” throughout her life, and he feels “so proud” of her.

He wrote: “I am so proud of my beautiful wife Kim Kardashian West for officially becoming a billionaire.

“You’ve weathered the craziest storms and now God is shining on you and our family. So blessed this is still life. So I made you this still life. We love you so much.” (sic)

Attached to his tweet, he shared a picture of a weird fruit and flower arrangement, which included a cherry tomato and a pepper.

Kanye’s tribute came after Kim, 39, sold a $200 million stake in her KKW Beauty brand.

Coty purchased a 20% stake, meaning the reality star’s business is worth $1 billion.

But Kim is not the only one of the couple - who have children North, seven, Saint, four, Chicago, two, and 13-month-old Psalm, together - to have signed a big contract of late.

Earlier this week, the rapper penned a 10-year deal with clothing company Gap, and he will launch Yeezy Gap next year.

He tweeted: “YEEZY AND GAP FORM PARTNERSHIP #WESTDAYEVER.”

Kim K is now the only billionaire in the Kardashian/Jenner clan after Kylie Jenner was stripped of her billionaire status by Forbes last month after she was accused of cooking the books.

The magazine seemed to have made the about-turn on their assessment of the make-up mogul after discovering she’s worth less than she claimed.
