All that money and the IQ of a hamster.
Far left progressives must hate him, they's so fond of pointing out how all the wealth is inherited through white families, yet a black rapper with a flair for marketing can (apparently) become a billionaire.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

But your premise suggests that the wealth of Kanye West (and Michael Jordan, and Oprah Winfrey) is something they’ve never heard of and that it would break their brains if they found out, which is totally implausible because everybody who doesn’t live under a rock knows that these people are rich and understands that it’s possible in America for them to be. I can accept that some leftists might have bad or ultra-simplistic explanations for why Oprah is a multimillionaire, but the idea that it torpedoes their world view implies a position that I don’t think anybody actually holds.

Donald Trump has floated the idea of delaying November’s presidential election, repeating his false claim that widespread voting by mail from home would result in a “fraudulent” result.
Trump made the incendiary proposal, which is not within his power to order, in a Thursday morning tweet that came as the country reeled from disastrous economic news and a coronavirus death toll that now exceeds 150,000 people.
The suggestion prompted swift and fervent rejections from experts and critics, as well as high-profile members of his own party.

The Democratic Convention starts on the 17th, so Biden's running mate should be announced any day. On one hand I hope it's not Kamala Harris because I can't stand her. On the other hand I hope it is Harris and she gets poleaxed during the pointy end of the campaign. I hear Susan Rice is another strong chance but I don't know much about her.
