Why do people believe that they actually spent that much money?

Who cares what they spend it on, but strippers ? what a bunch of clowns if they were real players they would fuck all those hoes and not leave a dime just like Andre 3000, I’d rather wipe my dirty ass and burn it over giving it to sluts and even still at least fuck them first and pay them appropriately like $100 and a taxi home.

“So many potential young black inventors, scientists, and innovators might never complete their education. And by the way, these are the individuals who can create true wealth for the black community by building corporations like microsoft and Dell instead of building some shitty night clubs, resturaunts or clothing lines .”

^ truth x 100…

but baby is posing as a “Cash Money MBillionaire”, reigning over an entertainment empire…if he was a doctor in the hood buying a 2 milli Bugatti the discussion can ensue…so-sigz avenger up there…

I see what your saying but the thing is that dudes like Baby paint themselves as business moguls in the same lane as Warren Buffet or Bill Gates. If they were to portray themselves as simply splurging millionaires then I wouldn’t be mad but these dudes like to pretend that they’re entrepreneurs. Bono, Paul McCartney, and Mary J Blige are probably as rich as Baby and Diddy but they never claim to be moguls. It’s not about being a better person but it’s about owning up to who you claim to be. Just like how a rapper portrays to be a gangsta rapper only to be a bitch when they face the judge and recieve jail time.

I would spend it on me and my family any way i see fit. If i happen to donate to a charity or give some to an organization to help out….. big deal, doesnt make me any better than somebody who looses it all on a bet or at the strip clup, or car dealership.

The last three post said it best. First off let me say first off that I am a hater. The other day I was watching the UNCF special honoring Chaka Kahn and it described how many black college student struggle to recieve fundging to continue their education. So many potential young black inventors, scientists, and innovators might never complete their education. And by the way, these are the individuals who can create true wealth for the black community by building corporations like microsoft and Dell instead of building some shitty night clubs, resturaunts or clothing lines . Yes Baby has every right to spend his money the way he wishes but I am sick and tired of people painting dudes like him and even Jay as brilliant business moguls when they’re just guys who own a side business. They’re no different than a man that owns a chain of small stores only they also generate money from music too. I’m not even asking Baby to be a genius but if you’re willing to waste money on a car, why not waste money on a group of smart people that are building something new and advanced that people will need to buy it over your music.

My dad say’s one could: Get a 8 to 10% interest rate on something as basic as a near normal Savings account (Millionaire version) and live of that. That’s 80 to 100k a year. We live a regular Middle class life and my parents drive Toyota and Lexus. My mom only shops Bargain and Outlets (My polo come from Marshals), and my Nike’s are sale items. My dad listens to my Rap and I listen to Dave Ramsey with Him. That’s all. The life of a real Millionaire. Love u dad!

On some your level your right…it is his money he is free to do with it what he wants, im sure theirs REAL billionaires that buy million dollar +….. paintings and artifacts that we never hear about and dont say nothing , and on the flip side dont do any charity, and yes this is XXL and not fortune magazine so who cares about some old stuffy white guy rolling back hedge funds, BUT, Flaunting your wealth in 2:30 youtube clips is not the way to go. it tacky, tasteless and shows you have no class. the real BALLERS dont blow money in one night to prove that they can, the ones who have too are all doing it to show that they have more $ than the ppl who dont have $ that they i can blow this money and you make 30grand a year, where real millionaires know the value of a dollar and look at idiots like birdman and laugh because to them he has to constantly show that he has $, where bill gates or warren buffet or heck even Jay-z walks in a room and ppl know this guy is the richest guy in the room with doing ANYTHING!!

What is this the short sighted nigga convention or something.

1. Baby is a very public figure or a star as some folks call them. Yes he can spend his cash on whatever he wants and nobody has the right to stop him as long as it doesn’t break any laws. But part of the way this dude makes money and keeps his character up is spending money. The whole idea of the cash money millionaires is for them to stunt i.e. do outlandish things by most rational accounts with money and never go broke because they are cash money(its there brand). Now this leads to my point, do you think Baby did this shit and publisized it just so he could satisfy a car fetish? No he did it to get a reaction both positive from the dick riders and wanna be’s who aspire to live the rockstar millionaire playboy life and negative by those who want to see good done with money or may really be concerned on some level of what kind of message does this send to kids and adults in the black community about money(i.e. reinforce negative behavior with a champion of consumption) etc, etc….. So save the cliche stop hating bullshit for some other worthless ghetto post you right. This is baby getting free pub off spending money like he always does. He got what he paid for a reaction now leave it at that you can’t tell people how to react.

2. Just because someone is critical of behavior that doesn’t appear well thought out at first. That doesn’t make them haters. Everyone has an agenda and Babys is to do outlandish stuff with money to stay in the publics eye. Slim and Baby are too smart to just throw money around like most of the broke ass niggas (especially the ones defend this move who if you gave them a milli they would be broke and in debt by tuesday) can comprehend. Please believe all of these actions are delibrate to cause a discussion/stir and it did. Also hater as a defense for stupid is getting old, you don’t manage your money like that and neither does baby that car is all part of his plan but short sighted niggas have no plan, just spend and party til its gone and go back to zero with stories to tell.

I’d buy a two family house, rent out the downstairs and the basement and live upstairs. A nice whip, spread some love to the family, put some away for the kids college tuition and still have atleast 500,000. 250,000 goes in C.D’s to gain some interest and just live life. Take a vacation.

Side Note: I would also get the fuck away from my broke ass friends that try and get me to go to strip clubs and drink and smoke their lives away. I hate strip clubs. Money does change you. Fuck it. Niggas can do what the fuck they want with their money.

“What I do believe is people have a right to spend the money the way they want to”

True, but no one is obligated to accept what a person does even if a person has the right to do it. People also have the right to dissent. Personally, I would pay off my debts and get in on some of this bargain basement property. Mutada’s plan doesn’t sound bad either.

Why buy something guaranteed to depreciate ? I’m with you if I had a million. I would use it to get a few more. How soon do you think Citi will pay back there bailout windfall ?

i’d buy a million dollars of Citi bank shares at 4.50, and hold it until they pay back all of the TARP money and the share price goes back up to about 15, then I’d sell it.

Did the same with BOFA when it was $3.00 spent 75 percent of my savings, and now it hovers around 14 :)

Hell the first thing I’d do is pay off my parents house. 26gs left and they’re done lol and both of the cars. Help all 3 of sisters out who are struggling right now, pay towards my nephew who is in college right now and start my record label and promote the fuck out of myself. I’d franchise the 24 hr medical clinic I’ve been eying (its under 100 grand) and help folks from no insurance to the insured to medicaid and medicare, welfare…whatever….because TX is fucking with the sick out here and it aint funny. That’s what I’d do =)

If i had a mill I’d go to the auction house and get me some good bargains renovate them then rent them out wait till the market picks back up and sell that shit happy ever after.
