Open a medical marijuana dispensary that sells only Earth OG
On "Save That Shit," Keef raps "Good loud pack, smell like cat piss" and while he may not be smoking much weed anymore, Sosa knows just what makes some good loud. It's not surprising Keef would want to open a medical marijuana dispensary—there's a lot of growth opportunities in the field at the moment, especially in Colorado and Washington State. But we know Keef is serious when he suggests that his dispensary would only sell Earth OG—some of the best smoke the world has ever seen. This is one item that might end up paying for itself, especially since he'd never get high on his own supply.
Estimated Cost: $30,000 to $500,000 (depending on scale and location)
Buy a house on Star Island next to Shaquille O'Neal
Unfortunately, Shaquille O'Neal sold his Star Island home back in 2009—in fact he lost money off the sale of his other-worldly mansion. But Chief Keef is in luck—if you've got the cash, there's plenty of homes, and land, for sale in this exclusive community at the moment. Sounds like the perfect place for Keef to chill with his daughter Kay Kay and his grandmother too.
Estimated Cost: $10.5 million to $35 million
Open hair salons in Chicago and Los Angeles
If you haven't seen it, there's a video of Chief Keef saying he'll never cut off his hair, all while getting a quick edge up. But that doesn't mean he can't provide some jobs for talented hairstylists across America, and keep the hood looking good.
Estimated Cost: $100,000 + per salon
Buy a private jet furnished by Louis Vuitton
We know Chief Keef loves his designer duds, all of them—Hermes belts, Polo pajamas, etc. So the idea of him decking out a private jet in all Louis Vuitton makes perfect sense. But if he's trying to cover a private jet and all those customized furnishings, he needs to get back in the studio or else start touring right away.
Expected Cost: Private jets cost anywhere from $5 million to $150 million, not including customized furnishings
Buy every pair of Jordans for him and his boys
Chief Keef always has to look out for his boys but getting each of them every single pair of Jordans? That sounds insane but hey, everything is possible. With so many different Air Jordans to choose from, this one item could burn through Keef's whole advance.
Estimated Cost: N/A
Open skateparks in Chicago
We always hear about all the violence in Chicago, so it's nice to know somebody who's making positive moves. You've gotta respect Keef for providing a safe place for inner-city youths to hang out without getting into trouble. Everybody needs a safe place to kick, push without getting scared.
Estimated Cost: Ramp parks start at $50,000 and go up to $300,000
Start an education fund for Kay Kay
We love seeing Chief Keef with his daughter, Kay Kay, all over Instagram—he's even called her his homie and best friend. Setting up an education fund for her is smart. If he puts all his bankrolls in a savings account, Kay Kay can go to school wherever she pleases.
Estimated Cost: $362,800 (4-year cost of private college in 18 years)
Buy a house for himself, his mother, his grandmother and Kay Kay
According to Chief Keef's Instagram, he just bought a house sometime this month. Apparently it has 10 bathrooms, or so he says. Either way, it's nice to see he's gotten a new crib for himself and his daughter, Kay Kay. No word whether his grandmother moved in, but with 10 bathrooms, we're sure he has some extra bedrooms, too.
Estimated Cost: N/A
Open a Glory Park (his version of Six Flags)
Glory Park sounds like a dream come true for Chief Keef. Just think of the rides. And the food. And the games. The only problem is, amusement parks are a serious investment. Copping Six Flags might be beyond Keef's means—at the moment. But maybe a small carnival wouldn't hurt.
Estimated Cost: Six Flags parks sell for $312 million
Stay at the W South Beach in Miami for a month
Looks like Chief Keef really loves Florida. If he were to shack up at the W Hotel in South Beach, he can wine and dine at Mr. Chow and The Dutch, and while he's not yet legal to hit up the six destination bars, you never know what Keef is capable of. A month at the W Hotel in South Beach in a penthouse suit with a full panoramic view, an outdoor plunge pool, and a full kitchen would definitely blow through some cash.
Estimated Cost: $8,200 per night (Penthouse suite)
