Kanye West is a name that doesn’t need any introduction. He’s a rapper, producer, fashion designer, and entrepreneur who has made headlines for his music, fashion sense, and outspoken personality. However, there’s one thing about him that many people overlook – his financial decisions.
Yes, you read it right. Kanye West is not only known for his creative genius but also his questionable money moves. Let’s take a look at some of them:
1) The infamous tweet storm
In 2018, Kanye took to Twitter to announce that he was $53 million in debt. He then went on to plead with Mark Zuckerberg for a $1 billion investment in “Kanye ideas.” While this might sound like a joke (and it probably was), it did raise questions about Kanye’s financial stability.
2) Yeezy shoes
Kanye is the founder of the Yeezy shoe line which has been wildly successful. However, the shoes are notoriously expensive and have been criticized by many as being overpriced. Some have even accused Kanye of exploiting his fans by charging such high prices.
3) Presidential campaign
In 2020, Kanye announced that he would be running for president of the United States. While this might seem like a noble endeavor, it raised eyebrows when reports surfaced that he had spent millions of dollars on campaign expenses without actually registering with the Federal Election Commission.
Despite these questionable financial decisions (and many more), Kanye remains one of the most successful and influential artists of our time. So what can we learn from him? Well, perhaps it’s best to focus on our own finances instead of trying to emulate someone else’s success – especially if they’re as unpredictable as Mr. West!
