Kanye West would probably agree he’s bigger than the Pope — only now he can actually peg that belief to hard numbers … in merchandise sales.
Sources close to Mr. West tell us he set a record at his Madison Square Garden show Monday night, where he hawked $780,000 in Yeezy merch … beating Pope Francis’ previous record by $240k.
Pope Francis sold $540,000 in Pope-laced gear a year ago at the same venue, but the Saint Pablo Tour crowd proved more fast and loose with their wallets.
Both guys had stuff with their faces all over it … but we’re guessing Francis’ Rosaries don’t hold a candle to Saint Pablo swag.
