The guy is truly rich. Worth around $100 million dollars. Do you really think he cares? Okay say you take half his money. He can just make more. He's at a different level. Once you make $50 million or more it's just different.
He should. You don't stay rich for long with that kind of short-term mentality. Ask the pro-athletes.

Why do you really care?
Because its a visible news story that strikes me as kind of pathetic? Because Kanye is now a punk by his own standards?

How can someone be an idiot when they are worth $100 more million dollars than you. Do you really think you are smarter than someone who is worth $100 million dollars?
Are you serious? This is a ridiculous argument. Intelligence is not the only way to make shitloads of money. Some make that cash via luck and circumstance (inheritance, presence nearby ancient oil deposits, marriage, etc) while others make it because of raw physical talent and/or skill (athletes, entertainers). Some just look nice (supermodels).
You don't have to have a high IQ to gain massive amounts of wealth. There are multi-millionaires out there with double digit IQs.

Even if you are he can buy people smarter than you.
That's possible, but that's a long way from merely assuming he is smarter than everyone because he has a lot of money. That's nonsense.
He is more gifted than everyone here. That is what you should be noting.

Also kanye is alpha belive it or not. She respects him and he calls all the shots. What she wears at events, what jobs she takes. Everything. He also freaks out on paparazzi getting in there space which makes her feel safe and protected. He also leaves her at stretches of a time to follow his mission and get his work done. He even said he doesn't believe in cell phones and she sometimes has no contact with him while he's overseas. He's got the right type of game to keep her straight man.
I hope so, for his sake.

He's worth $100 million and just impregnanted one of the hottest females on the planet.
Kim Kardashian is one of the most famous females on the planet. She is not necessarily one of the hottest. There are literally tens (perhaps hundreds) of millions of young women with no notoriety whatsoever who are, on a purely physical level, just as appealing if not more so.
Don't fall for the hype machine. She's a very attractive woman, but she is not a world beater.

Did you see her sex tape? She looked ugly in that too right?
You do understand that that video was created in 2003, right? That was a decade ago.
That's the difference between a woman in her physical prime (23) and a woman just beyond it (33). 23 year old Kim =/= 33 year old Kim. If your opinion of her physical status is based on ten year old evidence like that (and I'm guessing that it is, at least in part), then you my friend are a victim of the hype machine.
Well played, Kim.

Some of y'all are just haters man. Make your $100 million and marry your world famous female and then by all means talk your crap.
This statement implies that we should envy two things about Kanye:
1. That he is worth $100 million.
2. That he has married a "world famous female".
With regard to the latter point, we are not women. Hypergamy does not apply here. The fact that a woman is "world famous" does not convey her extra points. I do not particularly care to marry a woman who is "world famous" and would not brag about doing so. My goal (and that of the vast majority of men here) is to get with women we find attractive, regardless of how well known she is. The notoriety of a mate is not something to brag about unless you're a female.
With regard to the former point, I do indeed envy $100 million. I do not,, however, envy the prospect of losing the bulk of that future to a 33 year old woman whose main claim to fame is a sex tape she made a decade ago.
Perhaps that idea is more appealing to you. It certainly is more appealing to Kanye.
Respectfully disagree at your last point about hypergamy. There's even a thread on this forum about sleeping with famous women. Plenty of 'regular men' would love to fuck or wife up a hot, rich famous female, but they rarely can. They can't even sniff the same social circles these females are in. But if they somehow did, they WOULD be marrying up and bettering there financial situation at the same time.
Also, it may not be hypergamy for kanye but it's a lot better than marrying a woman worth nothing as far as divorce and child support is concerned. If it even comes to that.
Also all this hate on Kim k like she's ugly. She's still hot and fucks and sucks like a champion. I would love to see pictures of the LTRs of some of these guys hating on Kim. It's just funny to me hearing all this hate that's all. But you know how the saying goes, "don't listen to the boos they always come from the cheap seats."
As alpha men we should be concerned when there is actually something to worry about. Kanye marrying Kim kardashian should be nowhere near cause for concern in the 'manosphere'. It's actually embarrassing in a way. He's a highly successful man who went for his dream and got it. And even marrying some famous slut can't ruin that. Even though some of you think it will. We should commend this guy for making it I think. Whether you like his music or not.
And comparing kanye to an athlete is stupid. Not all athletes are famous and even more aren't even rich by truly rich standards. Also athletes depend on there body and youth to make there money. Kanye could do this for another 10-20 years if he really wanted to. Snoop dog and Nas just turned 50 years old.
