Kanye West Spends $500K on Custom Maybachs for Grammys Stunt.

Kanye West is back at it, saying he's worth $2 billion again, even though his net worth took a hit after Yeezy lost its deal with Adidas. But it looks like his finances might be bouncing back since he just splurged on two new cars. TMZ reports that Elite Auto Network revealed Kanye ordered a unique chrome wrap for a couple of 2025 Mercedes-Maybach S680s back in December. While Maybachs start at around $240,000, with all the custom touches Kanye added, his rides are probably worth a lot more now.

The luxury car not only has a shiny reflective finish but also comes with Chrome Monoblock wheels and a complete mirror tint. He dropped around half a million on the cars and all the extras.

Kanye managed to get the customizations on his cars wrapped up in just 10 days, starting from when he signed the deal to buy them. This isn’t the first time he’s had issues with Elite Auto Network, which has been proud to call him a client since 2019.

His latest ride might have been specially made for the Grammys, since he brought one to the awards show, where he made an appearance with his wife, Bianca Censori. Even though he dropped Vulture 1 and Vultures 2 last year, he wasn’t invited to the Grammys due to some recent controversies. Still, they made a splash on the red carpet, with Bianca rocking a nearly sheer plastic dress that left little to the imagination.

Kanye is famous for his extravagant car collection, which is estimated to be worth between $7 million and $15 million. Some of his priciest cars include an Aston Martin DBS (around $349,800), a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (up to $748,453), and a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 (about $1.9 million).

Although Kanye lost his billionaire status in 2023, his recent purchase hints that things might be improving for him. However, his appearance at the Grammys didn’t do him any favors. Reports suggest he could be in danger of losing a $20 million touring deal in Japan, where he was supposed to perform two shows in May, as the country isn’t too happy with his recent antics. While he hasn’t officially addressed the situation, both he and Bianca seem to be embracing their controversial image.

Kanye West’s extravagant spending on custom Maybachs amid his financial struggles sends a troubling message. Despite the flashy cars, his net worth remains volatile, and his recent Grammy appearance did little to salvage his tarnished reputation. With controversies surrounding him, including a potential $20 million loss in Japan, it’s clear that his attention-grabbing stunts are doing more harm than good.

While his lavish lifestyle continues to make headlines, it only highlights his disconnection from reality, as his personal and professional setbacks seem to pile up. Instead of making a comeback, it feels like he’s digging himself deeper into controversy.
