Today's Blind Items- She Has No Money

This A+ list singer lives large. How often do we see photos of her all over the world. Traveling in a private jet on seemingly a perfect vacation. She never wears the same clothes twice and her husband must make as much money as her too right? She is beyond wealthy. That is the image, but not the reality. Our A+ lister recently decided to invest in a company. She made a big deal about it. The problem for her is that it required an actual cash outlay and was not something that could be charged. She had the money, but it was a close call. How did it get like this?

back in the day when she was first hitting it big, she had good management. They kept her expenses low and the income high. Times were really good. Then, her management changed. What was just her money now became the money of her and her manager for all of his ideas to rule the world. The problem is most of his ideas have not turned out so great. It probably wouldn't be that big of a deal if he had not put their money into the deals and used more money from outside investors. High risk and high reward. He didn't want to share. Meanwhile, our A+ lister started stepping up her spending game at the same time her record and tour sales started declining.

What to do? Basically the couple run a tab and charge everything to the record company. They have sold off a lot of their future royalties because they didn't have enough cash to cover the bill when the record company comes calling. They also have sold off the future royalties of some of the artists they control.

They had to sell property to pay off some investors and to keep his latest business afloat. They went from owning a really expensive property to leasing something not all that great compared to it. They made a bs offer on a house to make it look like they were moving up, but they could never provide proof of funds which is why they lost out. They didn't have enough money.

Over the past six months, the monthly allowance our A+ lister has been forced to live on has been reduced. the clothes have been downgraded a couple of levels and the household expenses have been cut in half. The big investment he made he needs to get out of but can't because the entire house of cards would come tumbling down and bankruptcy, both professionally and personally would have to occur. It would destroy their whole brand and image so they keep trying to make it work, but short of winning some type of lottery either of the real variety or some singer breaking out like Adele, it just isn't going to happen.

Well she can always have Miz Tina make her outfits.

longtimereader said...

The schadenfreude would be EPIC if this were to play out. Bey and J. Ha!ha!ha!

Zip said...

The problem with this tacky, classless generation of talent is that they all think they've got to have bling and show it off. So rich. So illustrious. Such a joke. Tyga, the Kartrashians, the Hadids, it's pathetic. Real money and success never needs the gratification and fulfillment of flaunt.

Remember when Roseanne Bar and Tom Arnold had that gigantic house built for the ground up, almost like a compound but couldn't finish it bc it was too lavish? That's how I remember it anyways.

H2O said...

Seriously shocking!

Barbara RiceHand said...

If they go broke, what's Mya going to do.. lol.

mariaj said...

+1..that's why when someone like that falls-fails...well..people are not exacyly sad about it

It's tacky. People who know they have money and will always have money give no f@cks about whether anyone knows it or not. They don't have to prove anything.

When life gives you lemons ...

She probably bankrolls her crazy sister and has to shell out big $ for all the lawsuits that keep getting filed against her for stealing other people's songs/ideas. Looks like the Bey/Jay house of cards will fall soon!

I'll never tell said...

Lol right! Hopefully she recovered from her little "accident" at his house

ghost said...

Here in the emerald city bill gates has a gigantic palace but drives around in an old outback. By all accounts his children are well behaved and polite. He and his wife have established the gates foundation to help people worldwide. Money makes people more of who they are. If you were vapid, egotistical and hollow before wealth you'll become even more so.

david said...

Whoever these people are, I don't feel sorry for them because if you live large, you lose larger.

The richest man I know -- and he has homes in Las Vegas and S. California -- looks like he has no money at all.
He drives an inexpensive car; his homes are NOT Mansions; and he owns and flies his own airplane.

Since I know who he is, i know that he is worth +/-$5 Billion.

I'll never tell said...

Oh absolutely. The smoke and mirrors are fading with these two; the jig is up, Jigga.

Bibsee said...

Damn! This is shocking! I mean I knew Jay wasn't a business man at all but I didn't think Bey would allow something like this. And it's worse for this to happen to her than other singers because she brags like crazy. Oh damn.I guess that explains why they haven't been able to bankroll another surrogate.

Bibsee said...

You're right. A lot of her money probably goes towards shutting people up about things.

Ay said...

That's why Bey was photoed shilling some no name clothes yesterday. And why Jay recently put his albums on Apple Music to be streamed. And why TIDAL is hosting a "charity" benefit in two weeks. Jay, and in extension, the whole Roc Nation crew all need $$$$

Elle B said...

I do 100% agree with you. I think it's been going on way before this generation. It's how Trump schemed his way into a presidential nom.

Elle said...

Wait what? Lol! Oh my this tea is piping hot, thanks Enty. ; )

Elle said...

I absolutely agree. And apparently it's sooner than later.

Eva said...

Hmmmmm that makes a lot of sense actually! It's so funny how it's all becoming do obvious.

Eva said...

Wonder how much in the hole they are; I expect them to be letting that penthouse go soon.

Ay said...

I'm more interested in the "artists they control" and the selling of their royalties. I expect the shade and eventually the lawsuits to fly.

Whatever said...

Stupidity and greed are a toxic combination. These two have both attributes in abundance.

Hot Cola said...

Please, please, please, let it be Bey & J
These two are insufferable

SnarkIsFun said...

"Karma" and "schadenfreude" are apt terms for what's coming to the Carters.

Ren Shaw said...

This is glorious. I have a hard time believing those net worth postings. He's supposed to be worth $700 millions and she $400, loves to sing about a billion in the elevator. No wonder Ora wanted out. Hopefully upcoming singers know better and stay away from these two because bouncy will steal blind from her to revive her career. Tidal is a lemon turd and he won't find a buyer for it.

Stacey said...

Beyonce is just so damn stupid! Or seriously mentally ill.

Monica said...

I really don't believe it's beyonce and jay z. Things don't add up. Who else could it be?

Yolunda said...

Awwww please hope your not a sister defending clintons who just threw our first black prez under bus calling him crazy

The Clinton foundation is corrupt
None of our children will get jobs or help when country overrun by Arabs and Mexicans getting our benefits which we deserve from slavery not these newbies

hunter said...

Hello Yolunda,

Fact check, Clinton did not call Obama crazy, he said it is crazy for hard working Americans to be paying unbelievably expensive premiums and deductibles so those less fortunate can have basic healthcare.

He is correct, my health care was already high at $330/mo with 10K deductible in 2013 and now is $750/mo and I'm healthy as duck.

I ate my own head said...

I pray to baby Jesus it's Beyonce. That racist twat totally deserves it. Humble pie indeed!

Elle B said...

hey trump bot.

Pat said...

I hope its true. I think there is some Karma out there with Bey's & Jay's name on it and I sure would like to see them get what they deserve. Wow. So much comeuppance in just a few months time. How nice.

Mbicu said...

Alicia Keys and Swiss Beatz. Some overseas company, ceo was indicted.

Mbicu said...

Also, Alicia Keys fired old her manager when she married him

shakey said...

It's usually old-school money that acts like that. Nice to see Bill Gates and your friend treating money properly.

A friend's husband owned a clothing store. Woman came in wearing sweatpants and old t-shirt. He treated her the same as if she was dressed to the nines. She bought a lot of clothes and paid cash. She was a doctor and when she shopped, she preferred to wear old things since she would be trying stuff on. She told him she had been to 3 or 4 stores and no one would help her because of the way she was dressed. Never judge a book by it's cover.
