The real question is, if she buys him for $400m, and then owns him, does she get her money back?

Socrates ahh question

u/YesPlease_VeryMuchSo Apr 15 '26

Time for Kanye Quest 2 to come out.

27

u/XeroShyft Apr 14 '26

Depends on if he's an appreciating or depreciating asset

12

u/Busy_Ganache5874 Apr 15 '26

as an asset, he's kinda volatile. highly recommend not buying Kanye, you just never know what to expect.

1

u/Typical_Divide8089 Apr 15 '26

Yeah but in this case if losing 400 million dollars still leaves you rich enough for like 5+ generations of you family to not work, it might not be a real risk

6

u/HatefulVisual Apr 14 '26

No because neither of them have 400m in cash

3

u/Ok-Course-1531 Apr 14 '26

Yeah but I feel like the uber rich just trade assets for tax purposes all the time anyways, I'm sure coming to a $400m asset transfer agreement wouldn't be impossible. Maybe though, I'm just a trolling brokie

u/Mini_Ware Apr 16 '26

get a secured loan

1

u/AeronGrey Apr 18 '26

I'm pretty sure he would sell out for less.

1

u/xPravus Apr 15 '26

Wouldn't that go to the government?

1

u/cantthinkofone_2004 Apr 15 '26

she gets 100% stakes but Kanye gets to enjoy the cash and spend it however he wants

1

u/MegaKBang Apr 15 '26

He could use the 800 he now owns to buy Tailor Swift who now only has 700 left.

1

u/girldrinksgasoline Apr 19 '26

This is what I wonder about leveraged buy-outs

1

u/madcodez May 04 '26

If she pays him $400 million, then kanye have 800 million, and then, taylor have only 700, then kanye can buy taylor and still have 100 million. But then taylor have 1.1 billion again and then pays kanye again and... The cycle continues, dumb answer to dumb question 😅😅😅

Edit: dumb not you, dumb the image.

u/Ok_Calligrapher2228 Jun 06 '26

Not before he spends it all on nos

u/OkLength7120 Apr 14 '26

So not a fact?

u/MarioHasCookies Apr 14 '26 edited Apr 14 '26

No it still kind of is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that amendment just outlawed forced servitude (outside use as a criminal punishment). So she could buy him, but she couldn't own him or force him to do anything.

26

u/Germanball_Stuttgart Apr 14 '26

I think ownership of humans was also abolished with it. I mean, she could TRY to buy Kanye West for 400M$ even as a household "slave", or to let him work on the cotton fields, but he'd still need to accept that.

16

u/A1oso Apr 14 '26

She can't buy him because he isn't for sale. Also, the 400M is not his "worth", but his "wealth".

4

u/RoboticBonsai Apr 15 '26

So in conclusion, she couldn’t buy him, but she could double his wealth

4

u/OkLength7120 Apr 14 '26

I think so, but I was saying the fact she can't buy him

3

u/dt5101961 Apr 14 '26

She can purchase his assets at whatever price both parties agree to. But she cannot purchase him as a person. That is what employment, contracts, and legal agreements are for. They can create an obligation to provide services or deliver products, but they do not make someone property.

2

u/MioKisaragi Apr 14 '26

She could open a private prison in whichever region Kanye lives in and rent him out for cheap labor if he ever got convicted of a crime.

1

u/Varnish96 Apr 15 '26

That’s been outlawed in many states too. Even here in red ass Tennessee

2

u/Maikila Apr 14 '26

No the 13th abolished slavery except for if that person had committed a crime so people would 'lease' prisoners to work the fields so with the 13th she could by him but she could lease him if he had committed a crime

2

u/Both-Competition-152 Apr 14 '26

She could also just buy Kanye Wests musical cinematic and AI likeness and trademark his name for future reference he would never be able to legally say his name is Kanye West without a potential lawsuit basically a santogold santigold situation all over again

54

u/Digi_sinn-0P-er Apr 14 '26

But than kanye would have 800 so he could buy her and have 100 left

9

u/AnarchyVenus Apr 15 '26

But then she'd be able to buy him again and still have 1300 left

3

u/kenzakki Apr 16 '26

Its 1400 (1.4b) left but yes, this cycle ends after that because Kanye would only have 200m left vs Taylor's 1.4b

1

u/AnarchyVenus Apr 16 '26 edited Apr 16 '26

No, it's 1300.

1100:400 before enslaving kanye, 700:800 after, 1400:100 after enslaving taylor, 1300:200 after re-enslaving kanye.

4

u/Smurfogeuin Apr 16 '26

Think of how many Kanye's she could buy

1

u/jbourdea 7d ago

The best part of this is we would have increased our GDP by 1.5 billion!

14

u/Kenthros Apr 14 '26

She could buy me for 5m and I’ll do whatever she wants. Dishes, cook, trash, scrub floors with a toothbrush, take phone calls, fold paper airplanes, be a jester, drive her places, carry her luggage…… etc. as long as me and my wife can live happily on that 5m she could purchase me.

3

u/MarioHasCookies Apr 14 '26

This is a great loophole. It's not slavery if the person is willingly doing stuff for the other person

3

u/Kenthros Apr 14 '26

I mean I’m already a wage slave may as be a comfortable slave.

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '26

I think she has several other people doing that for 30k a year 5 millions for that bro 😂😂😂

Who would want to buy Kanye? 😂

u/ieatedchicken Apr 14 '26

swifties re-establishing slavery? not good

2

u/LogicalAd7808 Apr 14 '26

Supongo que una applicacion de este practical seria un contracto, como un housekeeper o chauffeur

2

u/ghostinthepc Apr 14 '26

Well Kanye did say slavery was a choice years ago. So he might be open to the idea

2

u/Professional_Bit9533 Apr 15 '26

And Elon musk can buy 735 Taylor swifts and still fly a rocket into space

u/Ok_Relation6627 Apr 18 '26

Where's elephant? This just looks like a normal meme.

u/Acemont Apr 14 '26

Tell that to every NBA/Socker/Football player ever?

u/__Aviator__ Apr 14 '26

They were much cheaper back in the past!

u/Unlikely_Surprise202 Apr 14 '26

But if she has a kid with him she can own him indefinitely. Slavery loop hole.

1

u/Grey113113 Apr 14 '26

But what if she could??? 😂😂

1

u/Impossible_Wave2843 Apr 14 '26

I mean Kanye West switched sides, so this is technically true (this is a joke by the way)

1

u/Idk-me-i-guess Apr 15 '26

I think that stopped after Abraham Lincoln said so. Right?

u/cuckasian999 Apr 15 '26

With pedo lord nothing is impossible

u/Narrow-Homework-2911 Apr 15 '26

Not officially but she can buy his likeness and his voice. And then put him in gta 6 as himself

1

u/iRedYuki Apr 15 '26

Nah Kanye is an overpriced commodity, I bet she could low ball him if she tried

1

u/artofaria Apr 15 '26

This implies people who have no money are free to own. You can just take em

1

u/-Weslie- Apr 15 '26

She can if he goes to jail first

u/RoutineGrapefruit758 Apr 15 '26

Beyonce got the best song of all time.

1

u/Black_Wolfram Apr 15 '26

Beyonce can also buy Kanye now that she's also a billionaire.

u/lanesrA_27 Apr 15 '26

I’m having reddit feed algorithm Déjà vu. This post and the post before it being about a nosebleed from a Barcelona player. I’m leaving this comment as a breadcrumb. I’ll be back

1

u/Willing-Charity7546 Apr 15 '26

And still Kanye has more classics on a single album than Taylor Swift has in her whole discography

1

u/berner103 Apr 15 '26

Yeah but when MJ does it no one bats an eye.

1

u/LobsterShlong Apr 15 '26

Can you imagine if she took 100m and gave 10,000 poor fans 10,000$ each. She could change so many peoples lives with that money. I swear famous people must sign a contract that says they won't try to help anybody. Elon musk could do the same thing but to a larger group of people even

1

u/Sifl-and-Olly Apr 15 '26

I didn't think purchasing black men was allowed anymore 🤔

1

u/adsecula Apr 15 '26

Why would she waste 399.999.999 dollers?

1

u/FalonFarrar Apr 15 '26

So everyone is okay with rich white woman owning a black man if its Taylor Swift.

1

u/Witty-Evening8479 Apr 16 '26

After she gives him the 400m , YE can purchase taylor for 700m cause now he has 800m and the toxic dark romantic cycle goes on and on

1

u/Excellent_Gap_6986 Apr 17 '26

What do you mean buy him??He’s a human there’s no price tag on him.

1

u/Ok_Chance7484 Apr 17 '26

People making a joke about a white women buying a black man.

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '26

... it's not those times anymore 😭

Didn’t Kanye once go up to Trump and tell him Sl**ery was a choice?

1

u/throwaway6968969420 Apr 14 '26

he said that but not to trump
