Tayter Bill Gates has 50 BILLION dollars, does Jay Z even have 1 billion dollars
Jay-z made over 80 million dollars last year alone, plus his wife made about the same amount as well. I don't when a couple making 160 million in a year was barely making it. His net worth is somewhere around 400 million, so I don't think this car purchase is going to brake him.
400 million dollars is nowhere near 50 billion
I never said that 400 million was the same as 50 billion, but don't sit up here and act like 400 million is chump change.... ^o)

Again we're talking millions; not hundreds of billions. BIG DIFFERENCE!!! HUGE! I just don't think it was a smart purchase, if it was a purchase. & we don't hear about many wealthy people making lavish purchases because they share much of their wealth, so that's what people will discuss. But Hova is acting like he hasn't had money before..lol....it's comical. He's been rich like 10 years now. There's so much more he could have done w/ $8 mil...just my opinion. :P
Tater, I have thought about my comment I made earlier, and I came to the conclusion, that most of the Rappers who are buying these expensive toys are fullfilling a dream. The majority of them are products of deprivation and I think they feel like they are doing damn good just to be alive. So they spend as though there is no tomorrow because that's the way they have lived up to this point. Perhaps when they slow down and realize life has another kind of price tag they will give up the spending spree. What do you think?
I would agree Ms.Memdear. I think anyone who all of sudden comes into big wealth is going to do some lavish spending. They want to show off their weatlth. Look at the old homes of some weatlhy families. Vanderbelt, Rockafeller, and Hearst all built these huge homes back in the day to show ppl how wealthy they became. It's the same with these rappers. Being in the lastest and greatest is nothing new.

I'm not trying to say that buying an $8 million car is a cool purchase. I just don't like this belief that only rich black people are buying these luxury items and are stupid for doing so...
Oh, I don't believe that either, but we are known to try to 'stunt' as they say. He's had money for some time now;you would think he was used to it by now....
I would agree, but I guess he's not...

you guys wouldn't buy it, because you can't afford it.

you don't know what you would buy if you had the money.

when i was young, i thought i was so deep and wouldn't do anything like the head before me.

but here i am, in a 3 bedroom house by myself.

it just happens as you continue to make more money.

and for those of us that KNOW Shawn Carter's credentials.

he's made his first half a million dollars by 1995.

in less than 90 days it will be 2011, and he's closing in on 1 billion dollars.

so for him to get an 8 million dollar purchase is like me making an 800 dollar purchase.

it's about relativity.

Sure, but if I had 8 million dollars, I still would not spend it on ONE purchase; especially a car. I could think of alot of people who would benefit from 8 mil.....lol. I hear what you're saying, but in my opinion, it's foolish.

^^^^because it's not relative to you.

of course it would be foolish to spend 8 million if all you had was 8 million

that's the same as spending 8 dollars when all you have is 8 dollars.

but when you have over 500 million,

an 8 million dollar gift to yourself is totally logical.

i don't know you, but lets assume you pull down $65,000 a year, and you spend 50 dollars on a pair of shoes.

somebody who makes 27 thousand a year might think you're fuckin nuts, but to you it was nothing.

do you see the correlation?

you think shawn carter is bonkers for getting himself someting nice after working so hard his whole life, just like that next person would think you were insain spending 50 dollars on those shoes.

There is no such thing as an 8 million dollar car. There is such a thing however as a fool who will pay 8 million dollars for a car.
Thank you and amen.
