Kanye West Net Worth: Did He Lie to Kim Kardashian About His Finances?

Kim Kardashian obviously has a very expensive taste -- she likes designer clothes, bags and shoes, she loves luxurious vacations, and she enjoys a lavish lifestyle. So is this the main reason why Kanye West kept his money problems to himself? That way, he can still spoil his wife without her worrying about his finances.

The 38-year old recording artist and fashion designer shocked everyone on Feb. 13 when he tweeted, "I write this to you my brothers while still $53 million dollars in personal debt... Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart..."

There were even follow-up reports saying that West has reached out to Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, for help and hopes that he'll invest $1 billions dollars into his “Kanye West ideas.”

But a HollywoodLife source claims that the rapper loves his wife so much and he would never do anything to worry her, especially when it comes to money matters.

“He wouldn’t hurt Kim by deceiving her about his finances,” the source told the site exclusively. “He made sure he was a legit in every way: career, house, money and stability before he asked Kim to marry him.”

The source then went on to say that West will never dare start a family if he has that large amount of debt.

“There’s not any way he would have even started a family with that sort of debt looming over his head,” the source added.

Although his tweet claims that he is indeed more than $50 million dollars in debt, Kanye West's net worth is $145 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.
