House Hijinks

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] There are four things you should know about this recent real estate announcement.

First, our celebrity was going for drama.

He does this all the time (announces that he is buying something or starting a company). He likes the big announcement and the exaggeration of the purchase price or the investment more than the follow through.

Second, the price and value aren’t what you think they are.

He did not pay the price he said he did. It’s just not that valuable. Plus it’s going to take an enormous investment to do to the property what he wants to do, more than the property itself. Plus it would take at least five years. Plus it’s in the middle of f*cking nowhere! He will have a tough time bringing in supplies, attracting people there, and an even tougher time reselling. He thinks he’s a genius businessman but none of his properties are worth what he says they are and this one is bad investment.

Third, if he does move there, he’ll be mostly alone.

She said that she is planning to move there with him? Haha. No way. She hates it up there. Too isolated. If she does go there, it will be to show off the house or do a photo op and then it’ll be right back to LA.

Fourth, even if his wife does visit him there, it will have little impact on their relationship.

They don’t live together. Never have.

Wait a minute. What about the house they just spent five years remodeling? Doesn’t he live there with his whole family?

No. He lives elsewhere. She is there with the kids but she hates that house. Too sterile. It’s just another one of his crazy money pit projects.

[Optional] Do you think he is a good businessman?

SOLVED!

Couple: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Kanye West bought a spread in Wyoming for $14 million.

Except, it wasn’t $14 million.

From Realtor.com:

Did Kanye West Buy This Ranch? Why It’s the ‘Last Property You’d Want to Buy’

Kanye West has reportedly purchased a 9,000-acre ranch located way, way out in the middle of nowhere, near Cody, WY.

The property is called Monster Lake Ranch because the property is reportedly overflowing with freshwater lakes full of huge “monster trout.” Listed by real estate broker Bill Vacek of Hayden Outdoors, the ranch has two homes, eight cabins, as well as a restaurant, events center, and several barns and horse corrals.

It was most recently on the market for $14 million. However, sources say the hip-hop star did not pay full price. Exactly how much he did pay is unclear.

Suffice it to say that the original asking price of $14 million seems high. Benjamin Ross of Mission Real Estate Group thinks the sellers set the price this way “to negotiate down, if needed.”

Still, in terms of location, Ross thinks that if West and Kardashian West are truly planning an empire, this ranch “would be the last property you would want to buy.”

The reason? Monster Lake Ranch is very remote.

“There is a whole lot of nothing, except for a couple of lakes in the area,” Ross adds. He hopes that West sees the purchase as a long-haul investment, since he could struggle to sell it down the road, due to the locale and the burden of maintaining it.

“Maybe if there are apocalyptic events occurring at the time, he will find it easier.”

Here’s the ranch.

Middle of nowhere. With limousines.

Kim Kardashian talked about the whole family relocating there.

The headlines read: “Kim Kardashian confirms family considering moving to Wyoming!”

Ha ha ha!

That was never going to happen. It was just a story line and a talking point for interviews and late night talk shows.

“Kanye West bought a ranch and is touring local elementary schools!”

No. They were never going to pack up the moving vans and enroll their kids in a school in Wyoming.

However, they will take the kids up there and then capitalize on photo shoots on horses and in cowboy hats!

Here’s a cute one.

But moving permanently to Wyoming? No.

No, no, NO.

A few weeks later, from RadarOnline:

Kim Kardashian Refusing To Move To Wyoming With Hubby Kanye: ‘She Hates It!’

Kim Kardashian has no intentions of officially moving to Wyoming with husband Kanye West — and the decision could present major marriage issues down the line!

RadarOnline.com exclusively learned the makeup mogul has been been faking it for the cameras and secretly hates being in the Cowboy State.

“Kim puts on a brave face for the pictures, but she absolutely hates it out there in the wilderness,”  a source exclusively shared with Radar. “She finds the wide open spaces unsettling, can’t take to the creatures, and misses the city as soon as she lands.”

The source continued, “She doesn’t want to spend any more time there than she absolutely has to – but the problem is that ironically Kanye has never felt more calm than when he’s out in the country, which is important to him given his mental health situation.”

Readers know Kanye’s mental health has plummeted in recent years. In November 2016, he was hospitalized for a “psychiatric emergency.” He confirmed his bipolar disorder last summer.

Prior to his move to Wyoming, Radar can report, he had plans of returning to his home state Chicago.

Kim Kardashian will stay put in Los Angeles and simply continue to drag her children all over the world for stories and photos ops.

This week they jetted off to Armenia to have the children baptized.

Story lines. Photo ops. That’s it, people!

Congratulations to ProfessorPep11 for being first with the first complete correct response!

    Kanye and Kim. Yeah right, like she would ever move to Wyoming! They stay married only because of money and because she can’t stand to have another failed marriage.

    Kim & Kanye

    No, I don’t. I know Kim has to cheat on this man. He is just to much to deal with plus the kids, nope…nope.

    Kanye and Kim

    He burns money like its sage. And not like he makes as much as she does.
    Can they all go away already?!?!?!

  44. megustagalletas says

    Kim and Kanye, he’s moving to Jackson Hole. They don’t live together now and it won’t affect their arrangement if he moves.

  49. trivialtime says

    Kanye and Kim

    He doesn’t seem to be a money maker outside of music other than marrying the PR family. I do love where he bought in Wyoming – there’s no draw for most people to go there. It’s what I like about it.

  54. kelno19 says

    Kanye & Kim in Wyoming. No, not a great businessman. I mean, Wyoming is beautiful, but there’s nothing out there to attract who he thinks he’ll attract.

  56. Baileygirl says

    Kanye and Kim. A good businessman? Maybe. He buys a lot of real estate and God is not making anymore land that I have heard of!

  58. gailpow says

    Couple is Kanye and Kim K.
    This is about the recent purchase of a ranch by Kanye in the middle of nowhere Cody, Wyoming.
    Kanye should have bought in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where all the big celebs hang.

    Kanye ” what the hell am I doing out” West

    I think he is a pretty goid businessman, it’s worked so far for him.

  66. Cerise94 says

    Must be Kanye West.
    Awful at remodelling houses. Genius businessman because I can’t for the life of me figure out why people are buying his overpriced, ugly shoes. Yet, they’re always sold out and many seem to be wearing them.

  67. calibg says

    Kanye & Kim

    Optional: No, but he’s lucky he married into a family in which his MIL IS a good businesswoman.

  72. DavyRogers says

    Kanye and Kim.
    I think he bought it to have his own version of Brokeback Mountain with a lot of young male collaborators. It could also be a headquarters for the “Church” maybe.

  75. yaddayadda says

    Kim and Ye

    Yes, he’s a good businessman. Is every idea that comes out of his head worth its weight in gold? No.

  82. KCeagle says

    Kanye the kook and Kim thicc booty

    – Kanye’s music *. Other than Gold Digger I cant name any of his songs.
    – His fashion line *. I heard of minimalist chic… but apocalyptic burlap bags ain’t pretty.
    – Kanye is no Jay Z , Dr. Dre or P. Diddy…. real hip-hop stars turned business moguls. Kanye needs to take his meds and himself to his secluded shack in the boondies and disappear from the public.

  90. Riley831 says

    Kim & Kanye

    No, he has too much money that he can throw it away on bad investments. That’s why we don’t get the truth or the follow through right

  96. linder says

    Kanye West. If they have never lived together, I’m assuming it’s because of the rumours that he is gay, is she not seeing anyone or is she gay, too?

  100. GeorgiaR says

    This is Kanye West and his Wyoming Ranch. Do I think he’s a good businessman? Nope, but really good at self-promotion!
