your opinion I was digressing, also your opinion that “legacy is useless with money”

If it was true how did Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and Shakespeare still remain among us today, they were comfortable people. What is your explanation?
money was not the most important then..people valued talent/gift over money and also those people were not poor then especially William Shakespeare..


This is 21st century brother, legacy no help anybody.. what's the purpose of legacy without u enjoying the better part of life?

With money , your legacy lives on .. posterity would remember u...
But without money baba, you go just turn to motivational speaker...

Marrying a former IndecentStar sure paid off. Believe or not, kanye married a good woman. No be by virgin. That those Yeezy kicks are selling like pure water has a lot to do with his wife's fans buying them...yes...the former IndecentStar does not bring just pussy to the table, she rakes in money directly and indirectly for herself and husband. So my dear virgins, apart from your virginity, what else can u bring to the table coz virginity only lasts a few hours after wedding...slaymamas, I also ask you, apart from your wealth of experience in fucking, what else can you offer?
Kim did not give him the money. He worked,

At 15% (actually 11% after deductions), he received $140m in royalties last year alone. How much do you think his 'stake' in the yeezy partnership is worth? Now re-think it again to gain a clearer perspective of things.

We dont argue much go and read this and revert to me,we only read what we like.

Then if it was money then it means I would love to be like Evans the kidnapper or some drug dealers or gun trader. Maybe I can also kidnap some rich men or I could join child trafficking. Or steal public funds as a politician.

I wonder if this was the mindset of everyone, how will people be doctors and scientist searching against covid-19

Did you say legacy is no more reigning? Let me show you list of 21st century Nobel price winners?

Legacy means making the world a better place for future generations. It is not about being remembered.

You see these days, so many people go for nursing, medicine and other big courses cos they are lucrative..most dont go for it just for the passion ..

Forget that story about selling shoes. Just like in Nigeria, going from debt to wealth in few years is possible if one aligns with the right wrong people.

Call it whatever you may, but this is a reaffirmation that being born in the “right” country at the “right” time can sometimes be half the journey, but that YOU as an INDIVIDUAL still have to work hard enough or have the vision or intuition to take advantage of opportunities that you neither created nor earned.

Editors at the money mag claim West, 42, took issue with his published $1.3 billion estimates, texting staffers that apparently don’t know “how to count” that his net-worth is actually closer to 3.3 billion, according to Forbes’ Zack O’Malley Greenburg.

The senior editor wrote that the “I Am a God” rapper messaged the team of money-crunchers, “It’s not a billion. It’s $3.3 billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count.”

Forbes began re-assessing West’s numeric value after the mogul lodged several complaints over not being featured on their billionaires’ list, like sister-in-law Kylie Jenner, who was recently named the world’s youngest self-made billionaire for the second year in row.

During an appearance at the 2019 Fast Company Innovation Festival, West stated that he should have been listed as a billionaire on Forbes’ Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, telling the crowd, “When I did Forbes, I showed them a $890 million receipt and they still didn’t say ‘billionaire..’”

Was begging Mark Zuckerberg a few years ago for assistance (past). Things can change for any body within a day talk less of a few yrs.

You can not lie or pretend about your assets to Forbes cause they make hard core findings & deal with actual visible assets.

I remember when Mr Femi Otedola years back was removed from the billionaire list cause he lost a lot of his wealth & asset, people didn’t know but Forbes dug actual & visible evidence.

A few yrs later which is now, Mr Femi Otedola recovered & was back on Forbes billionaire list as he off-set some of his assets to liquid cash like when he sold off Forte oil & re-invested in other ventures & that’s why he can donate #1Billion in naira to charitable things

I agree with the bolded, I see money as a by-product not as the main point of target.

If you chase money head on and by all means, it means you love it.
Most evil perpetrated in today’s world is majorly because of the love of power and money. Money and power are very intoxicating, it’s get to a point they control you and every of your thought. If you must do anything worthwhile for posterity you must be careful of money. You must see it as a means to an end or a by-product of an investment. But the moment it becomes an end in itself. Then you’re in trouble, it could become your God.
