I'm not familiar with the rest of their real estate portfolio.
He got flack for purchasing it but I think it'll be really good for the kids, and especially good for them to have their Black parent/side of the family as accessible as possible.

Both Kim and Ye have alluded to some kind of trial separation, counseling, etc that they dealt with privately before Kim filed for divorce tho. Wyoming appears to have been really therapeutic for Ye's mental health during all of that and he was also able to focus creatively. Apparently, he and Kim had agreed to try switching their family's homebase to Wyoming for a healthier/non-Hollywood/non-neo-plantation environment, and according to this article (https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/how-kanye-wests-wyoming-move-led-to-kim-kardashian-split/when-he-started-living-there/), Kim was quoted as recently as September 2019 saying "I see us living on a ranch in Wyoming, occasionally going to Palm Springs and our home in Los Angeles – and becoming a lawyer. … I would probably do it from (Wyoming) and fly into D.C., NY, and L.A.”". But at some point she reneged, began adamantly refusing, and the above quote was roughly a year before the infamous Summer 2020 "Kris Jong Un" phase i.e. when he first publicly called out the white supremacy in Kim's family/neo-plantation i.e. the lowest point of their marriage. So he never just up-and-left his family as his detractors often try to assert. There was a dialogue happening between husband and wife and Kim bailed on their plans (likely due to influence/sabotage from Kris, who was prob reluctant to part with control of her cash cow).
But even if we ignore their marital context, I think Kim holding Ye's creative process against him (i.e. his temporary relocations to focus on albums, grow Yeezy, etc) is pretty unfair since he was already deep into his music and fashion career when she ABANDONED HER MARRIAGE TO KRIS HUMPHRIES to be with him. Kris Humphries wanted nothing more than to build a monotonous, quiet, life with her and start a family, and she watched Kanye jet all over the globe with Amber and chose blowing up both their relationships to join him on *this* journey instead. He was always a high-output artist, so what did she expect? If he had a senior post in the military when she chose to be with him, would she have held deployments against him? If he was a world class athlete when she chose to be with him, would she have held the Olympics against him? I'm not saying Kim didn't have the right to confront her disillusionment, nor do I assume Kanye was easy to deal with lol, but she was likely being a bit unreasonable too if not controlling.
I mean, seriously, curfews and shit? She and her family members reserving the right to speak freely and plant stories and ridicule him or whatever in SNL skits, interviews, etc, but *demanding* that Ye muzzle himself and publicly reprimanding him whenever he says a peep? It just doesn't sound like she views/respects him as an equal partner/co-parent, and such subjugation is emblematic of how that family seems to engage the Black people in their lives across the board smh (eg. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/elliewoodward/jorydn-woods-played-kardashians-own-game-tristan-thompson , https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/4431551/khloe-kardashian-slammed-dressing-pimp-putting-black-friends-leashes/). I don't know why ppl talk about these women like they're normal.
