Lets face it being successful is not easy, it involves dedication , hard work ,and consistency. Yet the likes of Diddy and  Donald Trump  make it look so cool and easy.  As cool as that topic may sound “How to look cool like Diddy” unfortunately thats not what I’m here to talk about . Today we are going to tackle the awe thats is; successful people that made bank in 2009 and looked WEIRD doing it.

Kanye West

We all know Kanye West, very successful Rapper/Producer and now designer. In 2009 Kanye West Scored major deals with Nike and Louis Vuitton to release his own limited edition sneakers. These sneakers themselves where the first obvious sign to me  that Kanye West is in-fact a weirdo. Have you seen these things?? It’s like a cross between the aliens from Spice World and my next door neighbor’s canvas wearing dog. But don’t fooled these weird looking shoes still sold a ton, sneaker heads and celebrities jumped on it like Ciarra’s goodies. Further down the year Kanye West attended the MTV music video awards interrupted Taylor Swift during her thank you speech and claimed she did not deserve the award, that Beyonce did. If this doesn’t shout weird I don’t know what else will. Oh wait how about these; he blogs in all CAPS, he beats up paparazzi and he gets weird haircuts!

Steve Jobs

Chairman and CEO of  Apple  Steve Jobs is obviously a really successful guy, but I can’t pinpoint exactly how successful he was in 2009 , maybe they sold more Apple computer in 2009 than they ever did, or maybe the sale of Apple computers passed the sale of Pc in 2009 , who knows. What I can tell you is that this guy is really weird, he wears the same clothes every time ,  when he was sick Apple stock went down precipitously , and his last name is “Jobs”

Disclaimer : Dear Apple lawyers I understand you take your job very seriously please understand that its  not my  intention to subject Steve Jobs to public slander with this post, its  just a bad case of hero worship.

Michael Phelps

Mr. “Has More Olympic Gold Medals Than Anyone In History” , Mr. “I can swim from here to London” , Mr. ” I can eat a whole thanksgiving dinner myself” and off course Mr. ” pass me the bong please” Hey  I’m not here to judge anyone on the choice of herb they choose to  inhale, I’m just here to expose the weirdness, and whats weird here to me is that  Mr. “puff puff pass” forgot he was a celebrity athlete in the public eye and decided to take a picture with a bong in one hand and a drunk college girl in the other.

Lady Gaga

2009’s best new artist, Lady Gaga’s success is evident as she continues to release hit single after hit single. Her single “Poker Face” was the first since Madonna’s “Sorry”  to top all the three dance charts; Hot Dance Airplay, Hot Dance Club Play, and Hot Dance Single Sales. Even clearer than her success is her weird and strange outfits and performances. Just like Stephen King she has a perfect way of killing of her many characters in her performances.

Spiedi

The love children from a reality show and 15 seconds of fame gone wrong, but right for them. These two found a way to make the best of the MTV cameras that magically  appeared in their home town. Now they are writing books , shooting music videos and selling pictures to tabloids. These weirdos deserve to be commended
