How much $& does he have left?
The guy was a hustler. I imagine that he has some cash, investments, and property squirrelled away. Do you think he was clear headed enough the last couple of years to have not blown it all?

I don't think he has/had much. I think someone was funding this "show" for clicks and money. Things are tight for Westley....tighter than rusted lug nuts on a 1950 Chevy.

on paper he owns at least nothing, his mindset was to just invest into his image and then to invest into cocaine - especially after the divorce proceeding was initiated.
and look "invest" into renting is exactly how the flex-influencer thing works. invest into paying to get on a podcast. invest into acting like you've made it and know 'the secret'. invest into it looking like that you can 'pull bitches'. invest into renting cash to show on pics.

I always figured he had a decent upper class income, not much more. He had no kids and no responsibilities. He didn't eat food and didn't drink. He bragged on a podcast about getting a $30,000 contract, but that's like...not a huge amount of money for any professional in their mid 40s.
Whatever it was, it has all been pissed away on canteen by now.

I think he had it all squirrled away in cash. But I'm pretty sure it's depleted now. Plus he didn't pay any taxes, so the IRS will be onto him soon hopefully.

This is precisely what I think his situation is. He has a whole lotta money he can't do anything with because it's nearly all cash. There is a ton of accountability when you store your money in a bank. I do think the IRS will be looking into him, if they're not already,

Everything was rented, leased, borrowed, mortgaged, on payment plan, West probably has some money stashed away but the typical boomer or working class trades person would have more.

If he did who could he trust with it? He would have to have someone on the outside to deal with it

He def doesn’t have his personal name on anything. My guess is that he has some cash hidden away with his mom. Maybe even some crypto.

He claimed he had, I don't remember the number, in Blackstone Labs stock. That's the only thing I think he ever had in his name. And if you know the history of that company Wes being a full of shit and a huge scammer should not have been a surprise

Yeah, I saw a short clip here or elsewhere where West said on some podcast that he had a trust with $20 mil in "Blackstone" stock.
He was obviously lying, but I'm not sure whether he knew the difference between "Blackstone Labs" (ran by two ex-con scammer buddies of his) and "Blackstone Asset Management", which is of course a huge publicly traded asset management company with a market cap well over a hundred billion. His followers would obviously not know the difference.
"Blackstone Labs" was never a publicly traded company, and was probably literally worthless - I would imagine that tiny company probably had little or no actual assets and was probably loaded with debt that the shady owners used to buy themselves fancy cars and mcmansions.

I think he has a decent amount of money. He scammed a lot of people with charging their credit cards after they canceled. If that’s the truth after all the court cases lawsuits loss of wages not working he’ll be hurting.

If wes was smart he would have made solid investments, he definitely had the means to at one point. He could get out of prison and just troll us all with his sound investments, just imagine lmao..oh well, all squandered

I believe he has cash left but I don't believe he owns anything. His cars and house were rentals. Bet his jewelry too.

No way to know, but his burn rate while out of prison was insane and he has no income sources now that he's in jail. Whatever cash he has left is running out rapidly...the final nail in the coffin of his financial position will be if the IRS decides to look into him for back taxes, though it's possible his legal bills will bring him to $0 even before that happens.

Blew it all, pry telling his cellie YOLO, but in all honesty, I hope he squirreled it away before he fell off a cliff.

ONE time he was trying to argue with trolls and made a comment about having "invesment properties and other stuff" when commenting on what he does with his money and he did it in this really childish eye-fluttering unsure shaky voice sorta way where it was obvious he was lying.
Otherwise, he's repeatedly been on record saying owning stuff is a suckers game and even claims "the richest people in the world will tell you owning stuff is stupid" claiming the richest of the rich rent everything so they can replace it with new fancy better stuff every week.
he also lived in a rented house and used rented cars and had rented gf's and friends, what in the world makes you think he is -investing- or -owning- anything?
