Read the interview. You've got it all wrong. He actually says the risky thing for him to do is to not to anything. It has nothing to do with money. I'm sure he fully understands that he could sit on his bank account for the rest of his life, check out and not do anything. His risk isn't losing his home. It's a different kind of risk.
He stresses that the most important thing to him is actually having ideas and sharing them with the world. He says this over and over again, and I can't help but believe him.
> The risk for me would be in not taking one — that's the only thing that's really risky for me.
- ItendToDisagree 13y agoSo how does that compare to start ups that usually require vast actual risks from their founders? His risk is sort of a philosophical/existential risk. Not what many would consider an 'actual' risk to himself. This really does seem to be a function of the fact that he is rich and a celebrity.
- wavefunction 13y ago>>important thing to him is actually having ideas Kanye's very fortunate that "having ideas" are "the only thing that's really risky for me." Personally I don't find a lot of value in his "ideas" nor do I agree that he's risking very much. For all his nonsense about liberation from evil, he seems hellbent on integrating himself with the fashion world.
