The Cost of Being Kanye: A Handy Twitter Roundup

By Zach Dionne Posted Aug 3rd 2010 12:29PM

Since Kanye West's inauguration into the Twitterverse last week, he's been posting relentlessly, with roughly half his tweets recounting lavish expenditures -- flights to Asia, so many clothes, 'Avatar' Blu-Rays and 13-foot screens to play them on, "baby mama jets."

Thankfully our pals at Vulture put their number crunching skills to the test and totaled the cost of being Kanye this past week. Read on!

A sampling of what Vulture's gurus came up with:

Chartered jet from Los Angeles to New York: About $10,000.

'Avatar' on Blu-Ray: $21.99.
Ruby-red-grapefruit juice: $4.14.
Bottle of Grey Goose vodka: $52.99.
Versace glasses: $198.

Dries Van Noten shoes: About $600.

And the pricey tally up to that point is nothing compared to the whole shebang. Your head will spin.

Visit Vulture for the bank-busting grand total!

YAWN.........He'll be broke soon. Not many can put up with his ego and not many think he's what he thinks he is...

He said that he got off on the wrong foot with Taylor Swift.
to quote a line from Erin Brockovich
"Man you are just two wrong feet in Fu**ing ugly shoes!"

Even lady GaGa had enough sense to drop this guy from her tour! Do you think anyone would have shown up if she had kept him? That opened up a whole new tour for her!
The title of the cancelled tour? "FAME KILLS"
Is he dead yet???

Kanye, whats wrong? What is it that you are so mad at! I dont believe you were raised this way, hell no one expect to be who they are now! However you have money that people would dream of, and yet some will never see! Chill man, think, woosah, work it out, and most of all, find a space and relax. We all have pain!
Peace

funny how 8months makes a difference. all of the greatest artist were never understood until they were dead. he makes hits and new audiences with every new song released. he is an a-hole and too arrogant for most but the world knows this guys first and last name. branding at its finest. a worldwide known a-hole.
