Keanu, what happened to you, Neo?

Beyonce is everywhere. I think she has a twin b/c I don’t understand how one persona can be at all the big events.

$40 thou on a chair?
I mean I know you got money but unless that chair belonged to JFK, Jackie O, or someone important then I agree with whoever said that ish was a waste.

I can understand paying top bucks for a painting…art is a great investment if you know what you are doing.

$40,000 for a chair…
That’s a year salary for a lot of people…
Why would someone spend $40,000 on something dumb like a chair….

I love your new avatar Such Magnificence! ;-)

Yeah, 40 thou on a chair is ridiculous. I would spend something like that on a work of art that would increase it’s value over time, but on a freakin’ chair — HELL NO. Celebrities really dunno what to do with their money, huh?

Keanu always looks homeless, like those crazies on the corner preaching about eternal damnation and shit lol.

22.

Tuesday, December 12, 2006 /

Hey 1finedyme! Why not after both?

I agree - 40Gs is too much for a chair. I certainly didn’t pay that attention when I came into the post.

Wait a minute I’m scared of eternal damnation and shit! retracting my lusting statement now. I repent.

23.

I really don’t know why everyone is trippin over the 40k chair. It’s alot of money but let’s face it most of us can’t fathom what it’s like to be worth nearly a billion dollars!! Which is the combined income of B & Jay-z…so 40k to them may be 1k to us normal folks

I had a dream about Jay last night. He I and a whole bunch of other people flew on a private jet around the world. Seriously, but for some reason we started off in Atlanta. I would have preferred Miami, but I go where my dreams take me.

On another note: Burlington Coat Factory sell House of Dereon Bags for $50.

If anybody sees that famous one that looks like a Conch shell, y’all know the one that she always has and she gave one to Tyra when she was on her show………can you let a sista know.

..I bet you that dumb chair cost like maybe $103.00 to make…

They saw Bee & Jay Z coming down the aisle, and jacked the price up….

Someone with COMMON SENSE & OLD MONEY like Oprah Winfrey, Russell Simmons, Robert Johnson or Bill Cosby would NEVER spend $40,000 on a chair..That’s just ridiculous…

You could pay for TWO kids to go to college for a YEAR with $40,000

That’s just wasteful….

@ Bill U disgust me. The King and Queen B can afford to buy anything they which. Just cos your crusty stank ass can’t afford shit don’t mean you can hate.

Would love to know what kinda shit u gon buy your girl/wife/boyfriend this christmas(damn santa hat and some shit ass slippers).

Some of y’all need to sit your skid mark ass down, cos some of you can’t even pay your bills on time. Maybe when you start earning the well deserved salary of Beyonce Knowles then you can comment on whether she’s being extravagant

Maybe you were on the jet too. The people were almost like The Loopers on here, but in person, but in my dreams…lol…if that makes any sense.

Who is Lenny running from.

I love art, and honestly, if had millions and millions of dollars, I can’t say that I wouldn’t spend 40 G’s on a chair if the chair moved me enough…LOL

I figure if you look at it as a percentage of income, ordinary folks drop larger percentages of their income on material things for show/pleasure, too.

I would bet Bill one week’s salary that Oprah has at least one $40,000 piece of furniture in her house, chair, shit maybe a hat stand.
People do buy pieces of artwork like Eames chairs or Arne Jacobsen chairs…

Some folks live life on another level where a $40,000 chair is, as another poster suggested, is like what a 1,000 one means to us.

Art as opposed to custom jewelry or cars is at least an appreciating asset….more folks should spend their money that way.

46.

wifey

Tuesday, December 12, 2006 /

Exactly, MissTee2U.

Kind of on the same note, can you believe a friend of mine had the nerve to tell me she had a bunch of money saved up, and then asked me should she spend it on a new car or a house???

Girl, I really had to ask her if that was a serious question. To me, there was no (ZERO, ZILCH, NADA) question that the house was the better investment (especially since she has a baby), but she was as serious as a heart attack.

Black folks need to learn how to make our money work for us with things that APPRECIATE like art, real estate, stocks, etc. instead of spending money on cars, jewelry, clothing and things that you could buy at 2pm on 12/23/06, and if you turned around and tried to sell it at 2:20pm on 12/23/06, you couldn’t get the full value out of it.

Can someone PLEASE tell me when Beyonce or Jay Z became worth $500,000,000, I would love to know?????

As for the price of the chair, that too like art will appreciate if not sat in, anything antique you purchase is an investment.

You can best believe if Oprah sells a chair someone will pay top dollar to have that chair Oprah had in her home.

Beyonce was on the forbes list 2 times once in 2004 for earning 23 million and in 2005 for 25.8 million

and she also got 7 million from Loreal, 6 million from Pepsi, 4 million from Tommy Hilfiger, 2 million from Samantha Thavasca’s handbag line, and is making 24 million this year for her CD and the Dreamgirls soundtrack

Totaling it up…
23 million
25.8 million
7 million
6 million
4 million
2 million
_____________

TOTAL NET WORTH NOW :77 Million

Next year with DReamgirls over 100 million…in addition the the millions made with DC before 2004….so she is around the 100 million ballpark

Given Jay-Z’s income, you would think that he would seriously invest in a piece of art that would truly appreciate in value (e.g. the paintings and sculptures that you find at the world’s finest museums). But that’s right: he is RICH not WEALTHY. My brotha, please brush up on your art history, so you will know what the latest trends are and will be. Sheesh.

Although Edward Zwick may be reeling from sour grapes from the poor debut of Blood Diamonds this past weekend, it is a shame that a Jew had to school a black man (Russell Simmons) about the painful history behind the diamond trade in South Africa and abroad. The DeBeers company supplies the diamonds for Simmons Jewelry and have approached him to be a spokesman. Although I already knew about the shady dealings of the DeBeers company, I did not know Simmons Jewelry was affiliated with it. I am so glad I did not waste my time attending a Hip-Hop Summit.

Know ya history!!
