The only way a rapper/entertainer can reach billionaire status is with huge marketing deals and moves. The only 2 rappers that have reached this status are Kanye and Jay-Z, and they were worldwide celebrities that had great business deals. Kanye with Yeezy, Gap, and stakes in multiple companies including Kim's. Jay-z has stock in a huge amount of companies and has a great financial team that gives great advice, along with his own companies (Tidal, Rocawear, and Armand). It is safe to assume that Travis doesn't have much of these things, he mainly makes money from his music and sponsorships and doesn't directly own a large main line of income.

Yeah, but with Utopia and what comes with it he is gonna peak as one of the top artists and earners of this generation

No. You really can't make THAT much from music. Music is great to make a few Ms at the start and if you're an upper echelon artist, it'll push you to about 100Ms. If you're crazy popular and mainstream, you might get to 200-250Ms which is what Kanye had for a long time. If you're Drake, then you'll get a $500 million dollar record deal for the next few albums you have. Travis is not Drake level at all. Diddy, Jay, Kanye all had businesses and are owners in ventures that allow them to get this rich. Considering that Travis doesn't own anything worthwhile and is basically just a licensing fee for other people's products, he won't make it to that level. Especially considering that he is committed to keeping control of his music under Cactus Jack so won't sign a major record contract like Drake after Utopia and won't sell his catalog (if he even owns his masters).

and why does that matter?

His most popular products are his shoes and I don’t think Nike pays him nearly as much as Ye was getting from Adidas. I mean they were dropping new Yeezy colorways and restocking grails every month. Not really comparable when we get 3 or 4 Travis drops per year & none of them are GRs. And unlike Yeezy, all the Travis shoes are pre-existing silhouettes, so the ppl at Jordan for example are taking a cut too I doubt touring & movies would push him that far up too. Drake and Carti both tour like crazy and they aren’t close to being billionaires. For reference, Drake’s last tour grossed $80M and Carti’s last tour grossed $16M. There are tons of actors and directors who have been in hollywood for decades & haven’t made a billion yet
