I'm sure you're aware that Kim Kardashian is rich AF.
The reality star and business mogul — who's currently the mastermind behind makeup and shapewear lines — has been hustling since 2007, and it appeared to pay off big time earlier this week.
On Monday it was announced that Kim had sold a 20% stake in her company, KKW Beauty, to cosmetics giant Coty for $200 million.
The deal — which was announced just five months after Kylie Jenner sold a 51% stake of Kylie Cosmetics to the same brand — saw KKW Beauty valued at $1 billion.
And people were quick to hear the news and run with the idea that Kim was now a billionaire.
One of those people was her husband, Kanye West, who hopped onto Twitter to publicly congratulate her with a photo of some tomatoes.
"I am so proud of my beautiful wife Kim Kardashian West for officially becoming a billionaire," he wrote. "You've weathered the craziest storms and now God is shining on you and our family."
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
And Kim appeared to endorse the sentiment by liking the tweet.
However, Forbes has now debunked Kanye's claims that Kim is a billionaire.
The business publication has estimated that the Coty deal will actually leave Kim with a 72% stake in the company, while Kris Jenner will own 8%. They also valued her worth at $900 million.
The publication accused Kylie of fabricating her wealth, and estimated that she was actually worth $900 million.
Kylie, however, strenuously denied the claims on Twitter.
