Kanye is famously $53 million in debt, so it makes sense actually.

How is Kim's credit score in any way related to Kanye?
Well they’re married so maybe they have a joint account or two?
Being $53 million in debt seems like something that would result in you having an excellent credit score.
A credit score is a signal to potential _new_ creditors about how likely you are to be able to pay back _new_ debts. A factor in credit FairISAAC is the proportion of your outstanding revolving credit you are currently using (more being worse, above about 30%). It could be a sign that your income is unable to pay down your debt (becoming a runaway debt problem).

All to say that just because you've been able to convince creditors to loan you $53 million doesn't necessarily mean your credit is good.

I guess publicly begging Mark Zuckerburg for $50 million doesn’t get factored in, so you’re probably right.
