Back Door Money

[Blind Gossip] This celebrity couple behaves in an odd way when it comes to money.

They pretend to be secretive or modest about what they earn or buy or give… but then release hugely inflated numbers to the public through the back door!

One example:

They have been looking for a house for YEARS. They always have their people or the agents inflate the value of the house to the public (They’re looking at a $100 million house!), but then actually only offer half that. Then ninety nine percent of the time they walk away making excuses. They just want people to remember and associate them with the inflated amount.

Another example:

They have given a small amount of money (compared to their annual income) to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey, but had their team spread the rumor that they were giving [an astronomical amount of money]. It’s a lie, but people will remember the lie amount and think that they are so generous.

So they personally play coy about money, but have others spread the exaggerated amounts so you will think that they are wealthier or more generous than they actually are!

    Beyoncé and Jay Z. I always wondered why they could never find the perfect home. And no one has proof of just how much they donated to Houston

    • Vampira says

      She claimed that she was going to do something through her foundation (funded by donations and not her, of course), but nothing has materialized yet. It’s pathetic, since this is her hometown, but she never seems to give anything to charity, she just encourages up poor peasants to donate.

    • spaceship says

      I didn’t believe them in the first place, when they said how much Beyonce had already given to Houston. Only the gullible fall for celebs lies, most people know better.

    • NoseyNana2008 says

      Shouldn’t there be some sort of oversight committee that ensures large donations get to the people who need it without a bunch of admin costs deducted first? If the Kardashians actually donated 500K, it seems they’d want some kind of guarantee it got to those in real need.

    • itstarapagain says

      Beyonce is so full of crap. I’m from Houston and she really only returned when making a stop on her overpriced lipsync “live” show. The lemmings who blindly worship these two need to recognize that they’re being played for fool $$$$

    • zappy2050 says

      Definitely Beyonce and Jay Z.

      They are looking for a house for $800 million!!!!! – but then they buy a house for $50 million.

      Their behavior only makes sense if (1) they don’t have the money they say they have or (2) they are cheap.

      The PR stuff gets annoying after a while and you can tell people see through it. Yes she was nominated for 9 grammies and she went and performed, but only won 1/2 grammies. Give it up.

    • zappy2050 says

      One more thing. You know what I noticed – when the news outlets announce which celebrities have donated the most – Jay Z and Beyonce are NOT mentioned.

  4. nycmadam says

    Jay Z and Beyonce. They are all about the $$$$$.

    No. I give what I can, and keep the amount to myself.

  5. GretaGuesses says

    Beyonce and Jay-Z

    I thought of Dim and Kanye first, but Kim and her mom & sisters are loudly boasting on social media about having donated 500 grand.

    Nope, no reason at all to exaggerate about those things. Keep it to yourselves.

    • dberlcri says

      of course they’re boasting. that’s all they ever do. I doubt those lying posers donated anything close to that much but of course they know people couldn’t prove otherwise. when have they ever told the truth about anything?

  8. karenbrady says

    The Carters of course. “They sneaking out the back door” lyrics from Sorry on Lemonade album.

  10. munkeemunkee says

    Have no idea who this is but it stinks.

    No need to LIE about how much and which charity you support. Its a private matter and nobody else needs to know. I do it because I want to and have no desire to tell anyone else not even my partner. Its my choice which charity I choose to give to since its my money. Remaining anonymous is best and then there’s no confrontation from idiot family members et al.

  14. Ellis Bell says

    This makes me think of Beyonce and Jay Z.

    When Howard Hughes was asked by his right hand man why he drove the cheapest cars with bare interiors and no radio he replied “Who the hell do I have to impress.” There ya go.

  22. Meggiejean13 says

    Beyoncé & Jay Z. Whatever those idiots have in the bank is way more than they deserve.

  26. tequilatea says

    At first I thought Kim and Kanye but after reading the Hirricane Harvey donation think it is Beyoncé and Jay

  27. KatarinaJ says

    the only high profile HUGE pledge that seemed suspect to me was Kim Kardashian but it isn’t she and Kanye… it is attributed to she ‘and sisters’ but 500,000 bucks? And she and Kanye would definitely look at insanely expensive houses. Otherwise I’ve got nothing else. The contributions to Harvey included truly enormous ones… aside from Sandra Bullock at $1 million and a few others.

  28. Asai84 says

    Beyonce and Jay Z? I’ve been hearing stories about them exaggerating about their finances for years.

  32. CricketEyes says

    Jay Z and Beyonce

    They supposedly bought or were looking for a house in the $50- $100 million range. Beyonce is from Houston so it’s believable that they would have donated a ton of money to hurricane relief, but so sad if their PR people lied about the donation size to make them look better. We get it, you’re rich, no need to fabricate numbers to make you look good by association.

  53. kellyinchains says

    Easy Peazy Lemon Squeezy: JayZ & DELUSIONAL Beyonce. Everyone knows they are living WAY above their means, & are ALWAYS trying to pretend to the world how “wealthy” they are. I’m not buying any of it. With Tidal being an EPIC FAIL, there’s no way they didn’t lose a TON of money. I personally don’t listen to EITHER of their music, & am tired of hearing about them. And the bizarre “Goddess” photo shoots when she was “pregnant” & since she “had” the twins? NOPE! NO, I don’t LIE about…

  54. Emilou973 says

    I would think this the Carters, Beyoncé & Jay Z!

    No, what is the point in lying, honesty is always the best policy! I’m sure they are well off enough without the exaggerations!

  56. Persie says

    Couple: The Carter.

    Optional: I deflate my house worth. Don’t give money to charity since I learned how Top brass wasted it. I only give my time.

  60. lonelygirl says

    Beyonce and Jay Z. They are weird indeed……Ace are you implying they aren’t as rich/have as much cash as they would lead the public to believe? I recall they were renting a home for an astronomical monthly price, which made no sense at all. Seriously, I’ve always wondered why it takes some celebs years to find and purchase a home.

  62. Goodgrief says

    Bey and Jay, their pastor confirmed their “significant donation” to the hurricane. No, I don’t. Why would I want to make myself a target for thieves? Then pi**ed off thieves when they find out your are really poor.

  68. NativeAtlantaGirl says

    JayZ & Beyawnce – especially bc her hometown is Houston.

    No. I don’t even disclose donations – I have 2 charities I support financially and thru volunteering. My home value is easily looked up online if you are a creeper… but it is tacky to discuss such things.

  74. High Steppa says

    Jay Z and Beyonce. I’ve read that he made a bad investment in Kanye’s company (Tidal) and it hurt him financially.

  76. ninanicole says

    Jay Z and Beyonce..the recent house buying stories upwards of 100 mil..then the 7 mil leak for Harvey. She’s from Houston, she easily could and should give that amount.

    • itstarapagain says

      Yes and the truly filthy rich don’t need to tell anyone about their net worth. It’s obvious.

      I worked with a Rockefeller once. He was as nice, genuine and hard working as anyone else and never had an air of entitlement. Not flashy and gaudy either. Plus their kids were the same. Take note Carters and Wests. That’s the way to behave.

  78. Baileygirl says

    Kim and Kanye come to mind. I know there are always stories about them looking at houses to buy.
    Optional: No and No. Why bother with something so inconsequential?

  79. dizzygirl says

    Beyoncé & Jayz.. That was too easy!
    Optional.. Nope.. I downplay it & numbers because I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable. I grew up poor & was always weirded out at nice homes..

    I do donate quite a bit to different animal rescue groups, but rarely to humans. I’ll have to think about why that is, I guess.

  80. reen57 says

    Yeah, It’s Kim and Kanye. It’s out on the interwebs that she is giving multi millions to Hurricane Harvey victims, which I really doubt. Probably more like $100 or so. She learned that from her mother. She seems cheap and out to make money. Her makeup is a joke, but her sister is making loads of money, so she figured she could too. Drugstore makeup is MUCH better than hers. In her defense, many people say she is nice to them. You have to wonder though what she is saying behind their…

  81. amagod121 says

    Kimmie and Kanye. Ugh, that’s deplorable about lying over what you donated to an important charity! Maybe the most deplorable thing they’ve ever done, outside of the fake robbery.

  82. LittleJo1502 says

    Kim and Kanye
    Clue : Back Door ( Amber Rose released a statement that the singer ( Kanye) was into some kinky, backdoor stuff when they were together.
