Soulja Boy Bankruptcy Watch

So while going about the important business of catching up on celebrity gossip I read a story about Soulja Boy and his birthday gift to himself, a $55 million private jet. Now, don't you go judging him for being ridiculous, the jet itself doesn't cost $55 mill. It's only $35 million, but since the jet needs to be personalized, obviously, he is spending an additional $20 million to do just that.

OK.

#1. Soulja Boy is apparently a rapper and a music producer. He is turning 21.

#2. Supposedly he's had successful music career so far.

#3. It is his money.

But.

Fifty Five Million Dollars for a plane? Is he planning to live in the plane? I mean one would assume that if someone feels the need to get a private plane, and pay that much for it, that person expects to use it a lot which means that he has to pay for the crew to operate the thing, he has to pay for the fuel, maintenance, supplies (anything from food to toilet paper), some sort of housing unit, taxes? and more. That stuff adds up. It probably adds up to more than whatever it would've cost him to just rent a private jet every time he really needed it. It just seems a little bit excessive, wasteful and pointless. In my eyes there are only two possible conclusions:

#1. He will go bankrupt within the next ten years.

#2. This is just a big publicity stunt created to garner some attention. Sure, he might've actually gone and looked at planes and discussed all of these plans but he has absolutely no intention to follow through. This would not really be that surprising, this world is full of attention whores and we as a society allow it. Embrace it even.

Now, I don't want to be one of "those" people. The ones who think that rich people should just give all their money away to charities, I believe that if you earned your money you have every right to spend it and not feel bad about it. but. If he has $55 million to get a plane, I feel like it would only make sense for him to make some sort of significant charitable contribution and maybe he has and does on regular basis, I don't know, I really don't know much about him other than he has a really vile song, but I know that I am not the only one thinking that this should happen.
