Kanye West. Just by saying his name you most likely have already formed an opinion.
Last week, West went on his Twitter account to announce that he was $53 million in debt.
I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt… Please pray we overcome… This is my true heart…

The internet ran wild with the story and Kanye went as far to ask Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to help him out.
According to Time.com:
While the numbers can be a little squishy, reports put West’s income at $22 million in 2015 and $30 million the year before that. So while $53 million seems like a lot of debt, it’s only a hair above what he earned over the past two years.
Derek Stevens, the owner of the D Casino in Las Vegas, decided to give Kanye an idea on how to cover some of the $53 million debt.
IDEA @kanyewest Concert in Downtown #Vegas@DLVEC You keep all ticket rev, knock down debt, we take beverage. Venue holds 10K @theDlasvegas

It’s actually a pretty good idea. Ri lottery pick 3 and 4. Think about it: 10,000 tickets being sold at $50 a pop gets you to $500,000 — which is a good start for anyone’s debt if you ask me.

A gofundme page created to help out Kanye had only raised just a little over $1,000 as of Wednesday afternoon; and that’s not going to help out too much.

But since West just released his new album “The Life of Pablo” last week, maybe sales from that could help him out a little as well.
