Cash Poor

[Blind Gossip] You probably think that because he is a famous musician, he is very, very rich.

No. He presents himself as a genius, but he has always been rather foolish about money.

While he has plenty of “stuff”, he is relatively cash poor. His ego gets in the way of him making a rational decisions on new ventures or cutting his losses on bad investments. He thinks that everything he touches should turn to gold and is genuinely shocked when it doesn’t.

Much of her popularity is invested in being married to him. However, she is pretty careful about not mingling their finances.

When he ran into financial trouble, she didn’t give him money and she wouldn’t loan him money. That’s why he was forced to borrow against his own property when he ran into a cash crunch.

So what happens if he runs into a cash crunch… and there’s nothing left to liquidate?

    Jay Z, and his tidal stream music and clubs.
    But it might be Gaynye too who has Kim as his “Pretty Woman” Muse to dress up since he thinks he is a designer.

  2. thekatsclaws says

    Kanye West

    Kim K

    He took out a loan against his New York apartment for 2 million to be repaid by 2036. Allegedly he used it to purchase that updated engagement ring for Kim K that got stolen.

    As for what happens when he has nothing left to liquidate, I would say he could stage a robbery so he can claim it all on insurance. But that might be a little far fetched…

  4. ohboyohboy says

    Well it’s got to be that lyrical and fashion genius Kanye and perhaps his wife is not dumb as her younger sister Kylie , bailing out her man when he’s in financial trouble. It’s a good thing Kanye is not a car collector or we’d have heard of all the repo’s by now

  5. huntyplz says

    Wow. This is going to blow tf up. I think allegedly of course that kanye and the bodyguard and some of the bodyguards buddies planned the robbery. Maybe Kim knew but maybe she didn’t! If so we’re about to have the divorce fight of the century. Popcorn ready.

  6. richie guy says

    Clearly Kanye and Kim K

    Kim would cover her own * first pulling a Khloe and Lamar.

    I really think Kanye has some sort of Bipolar spectrum disorder, money is always a problem for people with this condition. His line of sweat shirts must have cost him dearly.

  11. tinygiraffe says

    Kanye (just took out a $2 million line of credit on his NYC apartment, but somehow bought Kim a $4 million ring…

    If he runs out of money, it’s on to the next one. For richer or poorer my @$$

    Musician. Doesn’t say singer. Hmmmm.

    Yo Yo Ma? Itzak Perlman? Lang Lang?

    hehehehe

    Just kidding. No idea.

    Kanye
    Kim

    If he ran out of money she would leave. She’s too vain to be with him for love. If his public image became tarnished for something as embarrassing as a bankruptcy, they would drop him like a hot cake.

  15. Germanicus says

    Gonna guess Sting and Trudie Styler. There was an article not long ago detailing his need to perform personal concerts because he needed the coin.

    I think she’d stick with him. What alternative does she have if she wants to be cow-towed to? Nobody’s gonna care about the ex Mrs Sting.

  16. ashting says

    This is obvi Kim and Kanye.

    Interesting to see what kind of money this family has in 10 years. Popularity won’t last forever, and neither will the money when they spend the way they do.

    Optional: Dump the camel. The Weeknd better keep a bag packed in case this happens, unless he wants to find out what’s more boring than fake-dating Bella Hadid. Run, Weeknd, run!

  31. alene2345 says

    She would leave him no matter how much visibility she gets while she is with him.They did not marry for love it was a business deal.

  33. amagod121 says

    Oh dear. Kanye and Kimye. Which one of them masterminded the “robbery?” Will Kimye turn on Kanye now that the truth is more or less out? Radar has a tape of her sitting cool as a cucumber immediately after the ” crime,” using Facebook calmly as the police investigated. No marks found on either door to her apartment, nor the door frame. No marks on her wrists or face from being “bound and gagged.” No updates on suspects. Yes, this is how far one – or both of them – would go.

  34. luvprue1 says

    Husband : Kansas West

    Optional : What do you think she will do when he ran out of money?

    Fake a robbery to get the insurance money.

  35. MademoiselleRose says

    Kanye / That K’Kow. I bet she’s keeping all her kash to herself, even tho Kanye is the one who kept her relevant for the last few years. So she’s happy to use him, use his fame to make kash, have kids with him, but not finance him. Hopefully she’s ova soon, sick of that whole disgusting herd of haffas.

  41. Tootles says

    Kanye West
    Kim Kardashian

    If he runs out of money she will divorce him and make his financial woes the underlying theme for an entire season of their c**p show

  42. mpizzle says

    I never assume anyone is really rich.

    We’re clearly talking about Kanye here and he’s even told us he’s broke. Not surprising.

  50. Lefemmenikita69 says

    Kanye ‘$53m in the hole’ West

    If he ran out of money completely, naturally she will divorce him

  53. DutchessCNG says

    …then you stage a heist with your talentless wife in on the scam. Or, perhaps you set up your talentless wife to get robbed without her knowledge… All for publicity, book deals, endorsements, and most definitely for the insurance money.

  54. dearwinner83 says

    This is Kanye and Kim. Story in the press today about him taking out a huge line of credit against his New York apartment shortly before Kim was “robbed”.
    Hmm…

  59. spunkie brewster says

    Kanye

    Probably divorce him or convince him to do a storyline specially tailored to them

  60. Laughing1 says

    Well, DUH!

    WE all know this is Kimye.

    And not surprised WHATSOEVER.

    I give them a other 2 years, possibly 3. If even that.

    kanye
    kim

    she’d make sure he is ok in the end but she’s doing the right thing by not bailing him out. it’ll teach him to be a little more practical. my bff & her husband are the same & having separate finances keeps the peace.

    • thelasthigh says

      also, Van Gogh (regarded by many as one of the greatest artists of all time) died broke. Money doesn’t equal genius.

  66. Elliott Day says

    Kim and Kayne. Maybe if he ran out of money she’d think she could fake a robbery to get that sweet insurance money. But seriously, she’d leave him. These women (Kardashian) make money doing just that.

  67. annabelle77 says

    Kanye West, wife Kim . She’ll only bail him out if her mother tells her to. That girl loves her money .

  74. YerMam says

    Husband: Kanye West
    Wife: Kim Kardashian

    Well if we go off how her little sister deals with her sponger, I can’t see there being much struggle facing them.

  76. fiddlesticks says

    Kanye
    Kim
    She’d divorce and use him as fodder for tabloids. Or maybe she’d use his financial crisis to persuade him to join the TV show. And use him as fodder. Either way, it’s lose/lose for him, there is no ’til death we do part’ in Kardashian marriage vows

  80. PollyMetropolitan says

    Kanye and Kim? Clues: Huge ego, and his clothing line is not doing well, but he refuses to give up on it.

  82. spaceship says

    Kanye and Kim. Everyone knows that he’s having money problems, in which only makes one more reason for them to create the fake robbery. Kanye’s ego is so big, that you have zero sympathy for him, and the same for Kim. His crazy mind tells him that he’s a genius, and he thinks the rags he creates are the great fashion pieces ever! LOL…..As for what would Kim do if he ran out of money, that’s simple, divorce him in a hot second! These people are a mess!

  83. SilentStar says

    Very clearly Kanye and Kim. She’s smart to keep things separate and let him experience the consequences of his own decisions. He sounds like such a child.

    When there is nothing left to liquidate and he becomes a burden, she will move on. She is nothing if not upwardly mobile.

  85. Henrietta says

    This has to be Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. I’ve been saying for years that he’s going to take her to the cleaners because she is his soft landing.

    What do I think she will do if he ran out of money? Put him on an allowance that he will blow every time. I really hope she got a good prenup because, otherwise, his debts will become her debts during a divorce. I think he has already become financially dependent on her which is why he bought her a ring that he couldn’t possibly afford.

    • miss_l3strange says

      THIS. I don’t think Kim is the one using this marriage for publicity. I think she genuinely loves him. I don’t even like the Kardashians. This is all him.

    When his money runs out she’s gone

    Damn she takes his stuff gets and don’t helium out? Well probably be cuz he would run thru that money. You could tell that fashion show was busted!
    But it was her she would want help

  100. calumsmom says

    Did Kanye orchestrate this entire robbery fiasco in order to steal Kim’s valuable jewelry????? If so, that is insane.

  103. TeaDrinker says

    Kanye West

    Kim Kardashian

    Optional: She would leave him. I can’t see her sharing her money with anyone. The love of her life is money and admiration from us peasants.

    Has to be Jay Z and Beyoncé and she’ll be gone like the wind with some way to make her look positive.

  109. Justmyself says

    Clownye and Kim. And they wonder why people suspect they are behind that robbery!

    If he goes broke, she’s gone.

  113. jerzeegurl says

    Kanye
    Kim

    Trust and believe she already has an escape plan. She probably has her eyes set on the next famous Black man ‘s coattails to ride on.

  118. Poubelle says

    Kanye and Kim, and what happens when he runs into a cash crunch? They stage a fake burglary for the insurance money.
    However, we are not particularly star-struck by them in Europe (and I’m being nice), so the French police might get annoyed, especially as she keeps adding mad details every day.

    • 4sixx2 says

      I believe he has a birth – personality disorder and Kanye is “on the Autism spectrum”, perhaps Aspergers Syndrome. He IS genius in some musical aspects yet unable to rationalize or function in other aspects. Easily controlled by a woman he idolized, but unable to grasp the patheticness of their life together. Unable to understand the social ineptness of grabbing a mic from Swifty. That marriage will end soon enough.

    • miss_l3strange says

      I don’t think he has a disorder. Some people are social delinquents and others are just idiot buttholes.

    • Ladieu says

      I have a child on the austism spectrum, and given what i know about the spectrum I wouldn;t put him as an austist at all. I’d say Kanye had Narcissistic personality disorder if I had to label him.

  121. Ramalama says

    Kanye

    Kim

    If he went broke, she’d cut and run cos she likes the illusion of being a kept woman by her man even tho she may hold the purse strings.

  131. gailpow says

    Kanye West. If there is a cash crunch and nothing to liquidate, have wife Kim get “robbed” of expensive jewelry in Paris during Fashion week. That’s what insurance is for.

  136. firefly nights says

    Oh. My. GAWWWD.

    You don’t think Kanye PLANNED the heist do you??? ? This whole time I thought it was the hotel staff (not the owners because this is VERY bad for business) that planned the robbery.

    • Lilibet says

      I suspect he may have. I hope, for Kim’s sake, that he thought she would be out at the time and didn’t set HER up, just the jewelry.

    • miss_l3strange says

      It would be easily done – all it would take is passing on the information as to her whereabouts for a fee. It wouldn’t need any other involvement.

  137. Realistic says

    Kanye West
    Kim Kardashian
    So there was truth to him needing $53 million dollars, huh? Lol she’ll probably stay with him, at first, to not look like an opportunist, but move on and blame it on his mental state and how he controlled her. Y’know, the Kardashian spin.

  139. keela26 says

    Kanye & Kim

    Optional: I would fake a robbery of my most expensive jewelry so I wouldn’t have to share my moola with him. ?

  140. Sour Lemon says

    Husband: Kanye

    Wife: Kim

    I don’t think she would abandon him. I believe she really loves him. But I think he would let her go if he felt he couldn’t give her everything she is used to…..it’s sad because they have 2 children….

  145. Gemzan says

    Kanye

    Kim

    When he’s completely bled dry, she’ll become a “victim” of domestic violence and/or leak a tape of Kanye and his boyfriend. Kardashians are always victims and no man leaves unscathed. It’s hard to feel sorry for Kanye, but there’s got to be a serious mental illness driving his behavior, like NPD, BPD and a side of schizophrenia.

  147. Goodgrief says

    Kanye West
    Kum Kardashian (was really a typo, but decided to leave it)

    He just took out a $2 million line of credit against his NYC apartment. If he ran out of money, she might think in the long run it would be cheaper to help him out. Her value might go down if she divorces him. He is really not very smart if he is out buying Kim million dollar jewelry with money he doesn’t have.

    • traherne says

      Are we sure Kris didn’t pay for that ring? Didn’t she pay for the car one of her * daughters supposedly got from her boyfriend?

    • sunshine702 says

      Yep. Expensive car “gift” for Kylie’s birthday from Tyga was leased likely by mom. I hope the insurance co gives Kim nothing or at the least investigates for YEARS!

  148. Rofl my Wofl says

    Kanye and Kim.

    I think the truth about the jewelry robbery is going to come out sooner or later. Not necessarily thinking Kim was in on it, but you never know. Worst case scenario she was a pawn in the agenda/plan of somebody who is supposed to be very close to her, so it could be a double whammy of trauma *and* betrayal.

    • miss_l3strange says

      I definitely think it was someone close to her too. I know Kris has done some pretty ridiculous things in the past but I really don’t see her going THAT far with one of her own.

      Kylie’s boyfriend, Tyga has money woes too and I am willing to bet he would have had knowledge of Kim’s whereabouts. All it takes is for someone to pass on information for a fee.

    • Rofl my Wofl says

      Definitely don’t think it was Kris, despite what a fame monger she is. She’s not that bad. But they have shown that there was quite the financial motive for both her bodyguard and Kanye. Both have had financial woes in the last year. Both are extremely close to her, and would know her whereabouts at all times. So the pool of possibilities has been narrowed. The only question remains whether Kim was in on it, or whether she was used.

  150. PinkCrayon says

    Kanye West
    Kim Kardashian

    Divorce him or use as a storyline on the show. Maybe fake another robbery to get some money back.

    • amagod121 says

      They could also fake a trial, with all of the Kardashian woman coming with their brea$ts spilling out of their shirts and Kylie whining about being called a tro||op. The fake judge could lecture them about their clothes and arriving late; all of the women whine in return, until Khloe says, “Eff this, I’m outta here!” and storms out of the courtroom. Kanye could arrive with Riccardo and pull his jacket pockets inside out and look at them as he tells the fake judge that he didn’ know nuffin.

    • traherne says

      You should apply for a position as a writer on their fake-* scripted “reality” show. Might improve their ratings.

    • flower says

      Maybe Kanye arranged to have Kim robbed while he was in NY? That way he looks innocent, and he can still cash in on the insurance. He even could have arranged it without her knowing about it.

    • spaceship says

      Don’t think so. If it was arranged, both were probably in on it. Anyone notice how silent Kanye has been since the “robbery”?
