The Webster’s example is a correct sentence but has nothing to do with the sentence I’m talking about: 

“The building was attributed as the reason...” is the same sentence as “the building was pointed to as the reason...” and that makes sense re: direct causation.

The issue with direct causation in this sentence’s case is that in order for attribute to be the appropriate word, then the net worth has to be effect of the direct causation, as in the case of “Kanye’s Yeezy company is attributed as a reason for his growing net worth” or “Kanye’s growing net worth has been attributed to his Yeezy company.” 
 

The actual sentence, “Kanye’s Yeezy company has attributed to his growing net worth” is written in the present perfect; the action of attribution has been completed but is still relevant to a current event, situation, or development. You are using a definition of “attributed” that is incorrect: “be the cause of” is not a definition of attributed; to “explain as the cause of” is. 

 

The sentence does not make sense.
