I could be wrong, but I think David Bowie was the first entertainer to sell bonds of “himself.” Meaning, not just his music but also his image and likeness and made it publicly available. As I recall he raised many millions this way and used the funds to buy back his master recordings. Something like that. Point is, celebrities could take their likeness “public.” Your 401k could include some Kanye in it.

You've raised the question of whether Kanye would be a good long term investment. He's batshit insane but everyone forgot about what Michael Jackson did after he died so the answer is probably, 'yes.'
