      Nnenne,you sound a little daft.he's worth more.this figure is for a period of time as stated above.
      He hangs around her cos he loves her.that's what love does,it makes you want to be around the person.I guess your partner doesn't even call you.or maybe you don't even have one.

    And he still loves her.obviously you are obsessed with this couple or better still,Kim.
    Are you wondering why someone you continue to put down at every opportunity and who you have more or less labeled a slut can continue to find men who want to die there while you are celibate and can't find a man to marry you for you?

    Common guys!! Why una dey fall person hand? There is an obvious difference between the highest paid in 2015 and the richest over all. The fact that you can't find people like Kanye or other known wealthy stars on the list does not mean those on the list are richer. It simply means that they made more money within the year under review. Just imagine for example that Kanye made $200mil in 2013/2014 and made $25mil in 2014/2015. That's a total of $225mil in two years. Now compare that with Kim K's $25mil in 2013/2014 and $50mil in 2014/2015. Who still get money pass? Make some of una dey reason before jumping..
