Billboard reviews Ye is aiming to get upwards of 35 instances the worth of his web writer’s share, or gross revenue … which provides as much as a possible haul of $175 million.

It’s been estimated Ye will get paid $5 mil a yr in royalties out of the $13.25 million complete — and has 35% songwriting share on his first 4 albums, and 20% share on the remaining.

Because the later albums corresponding to “Donda” and “Jesus Is King” vary from having wherever between 10 to 24 songwriters per tune, it makes the valuation of the sale a bit troublesome for potential patrons, because the payout splits are anybody’s guess at this level.
