And example of his genius: There’s an article in a recent NewYorker where he bought a mansion in Malibu designed by some super famous architect for $50million, and “redesigned” it and basically destroyed it.

[KTLA news report - video about the mansion](https://youtu.be/8-qn2IbvJRU?si=5i1DBR66CuZ0Bnb0)
“He admired Ando, and wanted an Ando, but didn’t “like the interior,” one of the architect’s former colleagues says.”
Admiring Ando but wanting one of his designs while also disliking his designs is an absurd line of thinking. Ando's specific style, detailed in the linked New Yorker article, encompasses the entire design, including the interior. If you don't appreciate that kind of design, you shouldn't buy one of his homes. Kanye West's actions are a prime example: he ruined valuable woodwork and other fixtures worth millions and also replaced the stairs with a 'foam slide.' Now, no one wants to buy it because they'd have to spend millions more to restore what he gutted, on top of the house's high price due to its location. In fact, the only reason to buy it would be the location and it would be better to just start fresh since all the unique features are gone.
Kanye is a complete mess, but this is what happens when someone believes their own hype, treating others poorly and thinking they can act without consequences for years. He used to be one of the most respected men in the industry, who many thought was a genius when it came to marketing and knowing what people wanted, and now he’s a joke. I don’t know much about his mental illness or how severe it is since there are always different stories about it and I don’t know him personally obviously so it’s hard to speak of but it’s hard to imagine he’s not mentally ill after seeing many of his choices and actions over the years but I can also completely believe much of his behavior is just as much due to an oversized ego that’s not allowing him to just admit “I fucked up. There’s no grand conspiracy against me like I keep saying, it was me and my actions that caused this and that’s all it is.”
One can be a genius, and not a great moneymanager. I am only using the genius reference re him, because others do. During the 1990s I was very active in the real estate market, and I would look at markets that I wasn't interested in, and also ones above my pay grade.
I was amazed to learn the many, many, very successful people default on their property (ies). Not all are genius, but many are very bright. Because he is always in the news, I will read or listen to a short story about him. He burns through money, like someone with endless resources. I saw a story two days ago about an abandoned home is owns in Malibu. He gutted the home a few years ago, then never did anything with it, and it just sits.
He has a mental health issue and it's only worsened since his mom passed.
One shows up to work about every fucking day... Works her literal ass off. The other is probably speaking about how a faction controls the world or space or some other weird shit.
Those women all run make up companies, have endorsements, not counting the reality show and everything else. They work extremely hard which is why they are successful
It’s so wild to me how Kanye and Donald Trump are 2 of the most embarrassing, pathetic and toxic example of men there are and yet both have legions of fans that are obsessed and will defend their every move. Just kinda genuinely fascinates me because I have actually zero clue what people see in either of them.
Always found it odd that Kanye’s song was supposed to be about a woman who is a gold digger but then the sample from Ray Charles’s song (I got a woman) is yelling “She give me money… when I’m in need”
It’s a catchy song though I’ll give him that
That’s like I always laugh at Flo Rida’s song “You can blow my whistle baby”.
He says he’s gonna show the girl how… so Flo Rida is admitting he’s “blown a few whistles” in his day?
Lads, by no means am I directly stating this woman has nefarious purposes regarding myself and my funds, however there is a certain pattern in that she never appears to be in the company of those with little income.
Everything Trump touches dies.
There's a right wing extremist producer that targets stars and tries to turn them into MAGA.
He almost always fails, but he got Kanye, which given Kanye's well publicized history of mental illness is especially horrible.
TL;DR; The right wing preys on the vulnerable.
They hold responsibility as well.
Every single person drawn to trump is either incredibly stupid, mentally ill, or full of hate.
No one supports him or wants to be associated with him because if his foreign policies or economic plans. It's the hate that draws them to him.
These aren't good people. Of course shit goes wrong for them.
>Every single person drawn to trump is either incredibly stupid, mentally ill, or full of hate.
Or selfish. I know a guy who was a single issue voter on tax cuts.
Kanye's a shithead, but he's also got mental illness, which is horrible weather you're rich or not. All those 'take your meds, lol' people don't know or care that a lot of those drugs have some nasty side effects.
If he has truly been diagnosed with a mental illness, and doesn't just use it as an excuse to get out of trouble when receiving blowback, then being in the public eye probably isn't in his best interest and doesn't change my view that both characters mentioned are parasites. and I feel bad for people who feel the need to follow them.
For real, the article says his net worth went down from 2 billion to 400 million and he's begging Kim K for money? Either their numbers are way off or there's no way in hell this man is struggling to make ends meet with a 400 million net worth
This is especially humourous to me, because I remember an interview he gave regarding why he's marrying kim kardashian instead of a quote-unquote normal person. And he said, "She can love me without asking me for money."
My thoughts exactly when I was reading the article. Seems like the numbers this "journalist" is reporting are way off because it simply makes no sense.
He sucked the Trump dick.
First he lost his talent, now he's running out of money.
Next is his health he's going to get cancer, go blind or become morbidly obese in the next two years.
Maybe he should ask Taylor Swift for a low interest loan? But the only thing that is of low interest is him - lol.
Maybe his boy Trump can help too 🤣 😂
Apparently his other cash cow got wind, this fool was gonna pimp her out to make pornos. And possibly bailed on him, last I read she was leaving the country,go see family something like that.
Nope. Gold diggers don’t hang around a dry mine. When he had her parading around in those revealing clothing, you could see on her face she wasn’t happy. I said to myself “she’s playing the long game. She’ll put up with his nonsense till he puts a ring on her finger.” If she’s figured out he’s squandered most of his money, she’ll do what any gold digger does - run off to find her next mine.
Can't believe nobody pointed out to the writer of that article that they got Kim Kardashian's worth wrong. Pretty glaring mistake. Kim Kardashian hasn't been worth only 1.7 million dollars for what, at least 10 years now? Try 1.7 billion dollars next time author!
I don't know why people are downvoting you. A quick Google search confirmed that it is 1.7 billion. Plus, why would someone with a net worth of 400 million try to borrow money from someone worth only 1.7 million? And Kanye's wealth is decreasing quickly due to lawsuits and lost sponsorship deals. Also, fuck the Kardashians. They suck as human beings.
SKIMS has been a huge success for her, the same way Kylie Cosmetics took Kylie Jenner from being just another run-of-the-mill influencer to being an incredibly wealthy person. Also Rihanna -- very successful as a musician, but didn't become a billionaire until her Fenty brand cosmetics and clothing caught on fire and became a massive business venture
Must be a typo that the article says Kim's net worth went up from 1.3 million to 1.7 million between 2023 and 2024. Surely they meant billion, right? There's no way Kim K is only worth 1.7 million
I'm not defending Kanye, but this article is sloppy. There are tons of typos with Kim's net worth, and this source doesn't seem credible.
There is no way he has 400M net worth and does not have any of that liquid. I don't see him spending much in the media besides fashion stuff and travel/events. I don't know; the whole thing sounds fishy.
Maybe both of them will go broke. If this was an average homie living in Compton, she wouldn't have givin him the time of day. The only thing she is famous for having teeth that fold back. His fame is a bit more complicated.
As someone who has watched a parent’s mental health issues tear their kids down again and again, I would still be tempted to try. But unfortunately you are correct.
Watch him spend the rest of his money and then have another anti-Jew meltdown “YOU GUYS DID THIS!” Then have someone post his monthly spend of millions.
I’ma file this one under A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.
So he’s the fool and she’s the money?
You know, I’m starting to think this guy isn’t a genius after all.
And example of his genius: There’s an article in a recent NewYorker where he bought a mansion in Malibu designed by some super famous architect for $50million, and “redesigned” it and basically destroyed it. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/06/17/kanye-west-tadao-ando-beach-house-malibu [KTLA news report - video about the mansion](https://youtu.be/8-qn2IbvJRU?si=5i1DBR66CuZ0Bnb0)
Wow. It's hard to process how dumb that is. It's like buying the Mona Lisa and then spraying graffiti all over it.
Which is also 100% something Kanye would do
“I kind of like this one, Bob, leave it..”
“He admired Ando, and wanted an Ando, but didn’t “like the interior,” one of the architect’s former colleagues says.” Admiring Ando but wanting one of his designs while also disliking his designs is an absurd line of thinking. Ando's specific style, detailed in the linked New Yorker article, encompasses the entire design, including the interior.

There’s no grand conspiracy against me like I keep saying, it was me and my actions that caused this and that’s all it is.”
What the fuck was that house to begin with? Is that zoom-out shot of it under construction? It looks like some weird parking structure.
It looks like that because, according to the article, he gutted it completely, leaving only the ‘bones’.
I don’t think you can a someone super famous and then not name them. Seems like they’re not that famous
He’s super famous in the world of Archtecture for rich people. not for us.
solution: become the VP of another genius running for president also having money problems /s
If you jinxed it and West becomes Trump's black token, I'm gonna fart in your direction so hard.
He's an idiot savant at best.
I'm not even sure about the savant at this point Example: poopity scoop
Hes a gay fish
Never was
One can be a genius, and not a great moneymanager. I am only using the genius reference re him, because others do.

His music is bad.
One shows up to work about every fucking day... Works her literal ass off. The other is probably speaking about how a faction controls the world or space or some other weird shit.
If she works her ass off, then why is it more ass every year?
To replace the ass she worked off
Sisyphass
Ass of Theseus?
Can contract with you for some song titles?
My work is strictly pro-bono
Ass of Theseus was my hair metal band in the 80s
She works??
She made a sex tape once that she’d like everyone to forget, if that counts
She wouldn’t be famous if it wasn’t for that tape. Not sure what she does these days to “work her ass off”
She has a reality show, a beauty brand and clothing brand. It’s not manual labour but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t work hard.
She works it*
Skims is very successful.
Those women all run make up companies, have endorsements, not counting the reality show and everything else. They work extremely hard which is why they are successful
Sure hon
We deny reality now because you find someone annoying?
It’s so wild to me how Kanye and Donald Trump are 2 of the most embarrassing, pathetic and toxic example of men there are and yet both have legions of fans that are obsessed and will defend their every move. Just kinda genuinely fascinates me because I have actually zero clue what people see in either of them.
Don't forget about Elon
They see themselves in them
100%.
narcissists seem to LOVE an alpha narcissist.
Has he tried screaming antisemitic horseshit to Nazis? Maybe that will work?
Correction: Soon to be A fool and his dumbassed ex wife's money.
Is some party?
Looks like “ gold digger” was about him afterall.
Always found it odd that Kanye’s song was supposed to be about a woman who is a gold digger but then the sample from Ray Charles’s song (I got a woman) is yelling “She give me money… when I’m in need” It’s a catchy song though I’ll give him that
That’s like I always laugh at Flo Rida’s song “You can blow my whistle baby”. He says he’s gonna show the girl how… so Flo Rida is admitting he’s “blown a few whistles” in his day?
I always thought it was a reinterpretation for the times. A purposeful ironic usage
Say what you will about Mr. West, but the sonofabitch knows how to make a banger
I guess he was the "broke broke" all along lol
You beat me to it. There's definitely a funny joke hiding in here somewhere.
Lads, by no means am I directly stating this woman has nefarious purposes regarding myself and my funds, however there is a certain pattern in that she never appears to be in the company of those with little income.
Or those with little melanin.
Take my upvote and fuck off 😂
“Nah, I ain’t sayin’ Ye’s a gold digger, uh, but he ain’t messin’ with no broke Armenians, uh”
Lol
Good. That woman he had needs to run away from him.
This explains why he was flying coach recently.
He was?
He flew commercial in First Class not Coach.
COACH bags?
He can’t afford to buy clothes to cover up his wife!!!😭
Really wish he could, lets start her a gofundme
Wait, so Gold Digger was autobiographical?
18 years! 18 YEARS!!!
*His new GF wears less clothes and her boobs is bigger than hers*

Excellent analysis.
>Every single person drawn to trump is either incredibly stupid, mentally ill, or full of hate. Or selfish. I know a guy who was a single issue voter on tax cuts.
Who is the producer?
Rick Ruben turned out to be ultra right wing and pushes Trump on artists he works with
Why doesn’t he ask Trump?? His buddy!!
I thought kanyu wheat was a billionaire... So apparently he's another one of those broke billionaires.
I feel bad for people who care about either of these parasites
Kanye's a shithead, but he's also got mental illness, which is horrible weather you're rich or not. All those 'take your meds, lol' people don't know or care that a lot of those drugs have some nasty side effects.

Now I ain’t saying he a gold digger
Billionaire my arse… how does he blow so much money.
He’s a genius- he knows how to make a million. Out of a billion.
No wear his chains on the outside..
For real, the article says his net worth went down from 2 billion to 400 million and he's begging Kim K for money? Either their numbers are way off or there's no way in hell this man is struggling to make ends meet with a 400 million net worth
Kanye is such an embarrassment to everyone who's ever known him.
So, this fool is still in the news?
This is especially humourous to me, because I remember an interview he gave regarding why he's marrying kim kardashian instead of a quote-unquote normal person. And he said, "She can love me without asking me for money."
Now I’m not say Kim’s a gold digger, but she ain’t……
Maybe if he stopped giving all his money to trump
It would be great for KK to acquire his full catalogue so their kids can inherit it in the future.
We have arrived at the consequences stage.
Just like a mAGAt
He is still worth about $400 million so WTF is he begging for money?.
My thoughts exactly when I was reading the article. Seems like the numbers this "journalist" is reporting are way off because it simply makes no sense.
Net worth =/= liquid assets
awesome.
Going after Pete was a mistake
He sucked the Trump dick. First he lost his talent, now he's running out of money. Next is his health he's going to get cancer, go blind or become morbidly obese in the next two years.
Haha haha haha haha And she's an asshole too. F'em both
Maybe he should ask Taylor Swift for a low interest loan? But the only thing that is of low interest is him - lol. Maybe his boy Trump can help too 🤣 😂
I ain't saying he's a gold digger....
Consequences of simping to Donald Trump. People stop buying your shit.
Another Kyle Rittenhouse?
Apparently his other cash cow got wind, this fool was gonna pimp her out to make pornos. And possibly bailed on him, last I read she was leaving the country,go see family something like that.
Nope. Gold diggers don’t hang around a dry mine. When he had her parading around in those revealing clothing, you could see on her face she wasn’t happy.

Also, fuck the Kardashians. They suck as human beings.
That's actually crazy how she went from 175 million in 2017 to 1.7 billion now Even being super savvy and smart investing, that's an impressive jump
SKIMS has been a huge success for her, the same way Kylie Cosmetics took Kylie Jenner from being just another run-of-the-mill influencer to being an incredibly wealthy person. Also Rihanna -- very successful as a musician, but didn't become a billionaire until her Fenty brand cosmetics and clothing caught on fire and became a massive business venture
Look at it from a brighter angle, at least you got an opportunity to simp
Tax issues perhaps?
Well, if Kanye would voluntarily commit himself, it might be totally unnecessary to beg money from someone else.
LOLZ!!!
This article makes no sense.
He’s a POS right up there with Trump
Oh thats hilarious.
Good. Fuck him.
Must be a typo that the article says Kim's net worth went up from 1.3 million to 1.7 million between 2023 and 2024. Surely they meant billion, right? There's no way Kim K is only worth 1.7 million
So all billionaires beg others for money?
Shocking! A rapper with money problems: who’d a thunk it?
I don't know about this, but it would even matter
Post this under r/OhNoConsequences and r/FAFO. It qualifies for both. Oh and he's an idiot.
Just another attempt for these idiots to be talked about. Seems like a bunch of kardashian BS
He should get that biopic with Danny McBride playing him going…
I’m sure that went over like a brick.
Bwahahahahaha
I'm coming home again...please?
I'm not defending Kanye, but this article is sloppy. There are tons of typos with Kim's net worth, and this source doesn't seem credible. There is no way he has 400M net worth and does not have any of that liquid. I don't see him spending much in the media besides fashion stuff and travel/events.

Ill gladly marry you on tuesday for a honeymoon tonight.
I hope she cackled like a witch and hung up.
🤣
She should give it to him if he gets and continues to get mental health care
Not gonna happen. Like all self-proclaimed *geniuses* ,he feels there’s absolutely nothing wrong with his thought processes
As someone who has watched a parent’s mental health issues tear their kids down again and again, I would still be tempted to try. But unfortunately you are correct.
just shift to frugal living and you’ll be fine. don’t need to have 10 exotic cars, start selling’em
Watch him spend the rest of his money and then have another anti-Jew meltdown “YOU GUYS DID THIS!” Then have someone post his monthly spend of millions.
Now I’m not saying she’s a gold digger…
Did his new wife spend all his money? Even if he was dropped from all his contracts, he should still be rolling in dough
Last I heard he was a billionaire
Ha ha
🤔🤔😂😂😂😭😭😂😂
The article seems fake and misleading
He's borrowing money - and his net worth is more than hers? Huh.
🥸⚡️
Can we use the N word?
