Businesses backed by some of America’s wealthiest individuals—including hotel owner Robert Rowling, car dealer Norman Braman and Laurene Powell Jobs—received Paycheck Protection Plan Loans from the U.S. government.

in late April, Kanye West’s clothing and shoe design company Yeezy got a loan of between $2 million and $5 million. Because Adidas manufactures and markets the high-end shoes, which retail for $360 or more, it’s not exactly clear what 106 people are doing on the Yeezy payroll. West’s rep didn’t reply to a request for comment. PPP loan recipients: The Greenbrier Hotel, Jobs retained: ZeroBlackstone Energy Ltd., Jobs retained: N/AThe coal-mining tycoon, hasn’t been great at paying the bills.

Let's remember loans must be paid back.

Awesome.

JessesLaw But they won't extend UI benefits for every day Americans who just want to buy groceries and pay rent.

How many gifted them back, intelligently?

Thanks Congress

And who is surprised? Congress lines their own pockets and small businesses don't spend on politics.

They can all rot in hell.

Y'all acting like Kanye is the leader of the billionaires. Leave the brother alone lol

Forbes media got at least 5mil too according to nbc..............................................................

CarolDSanders HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?

Kanye smiling once the funds hit his account

Trump supporters and contributors to his campaign.

Can we get an article about those who really needed the PPP loan and got rejected?

I thought republican hate socialism . LOL

As middle class/poor Americans we deserve the shafting we continue to get. We don’t fight back by voting for people that would truly be against this. These folks get “loans” while tens of millions of regular Americans suffer. The sad part is nothing will ever change.

Cheedy10

There people are greedy beyond belief...

So pathetic lol

D I S G U S T I N G!

Why did you forget to mention: Cuomo, Pelosi, Schumer too? Tell the full truth ! What happened to your publication? It used to be good reading.

U guys got peepeepee too forbes admit it here

This is just sickening.

I'm pretty sure this couldn't have been managed any more poorly than it was.

Following weeks of requests for transparency on who got funding, on Monday the Trump administration released the names of companies that received PPP loans of $150,000 or more

Of course they did, that's why they are billionaires..

Yep, let’s make kanyewest President why don’t we.

realDonaldTrump Trump’s America. VOTE

So the “black” realDonaldTrump aka kanyewest who yells how wealthy he is, had to stand in the way of a deserving small biz just to get a few millions No shame and no humanity in the souls of these crooks! 🖕🏿Kanye, 🖕🏿Trump, 🖕🏿Kardashians!

Sell out

Now we know how Kanye became a billionaire

This is disgusting - so many people have lost everything & billionaires are getting ppp loans? They should be using their own wealth where possible to help their employees. That’s the right thing to do. I’ll be boycotting all companies that keep the $ BoycottBillionairesPPP

To all

Perfect for any of the presidential candidates.

Hey ASSHOLES

This is a systamatic effort by forbes to tarnish the image anyone who's opposing Joe Biden. Even if the person is a black man.

All crooks

If any right wing Magat ever says something about socialism, tell them to eat shit!

Satanic pedophilia people still control the narrative

Those with higher incomes pay larger tax burdens. It should not be thought of as a sin that they don't refuse a handout from the public fisc. After all, they'll be the ones shouldering the eventual burden of the public debt.

Because that's what PPP was for... you know, businesses.
