Kanye West's run for US presidency has come to an almighty halt and a pricey one at that because his efforts cost around $9 million (£6.89m).
Official reports show the rapper himself made $10.36m (£7.91m) in contributions and individual contributions total $1.18m (£900k). He then spent $10.39m (£7.94) on things such as legal fees and campaign management.
The cost of all of this equates to around $150 (£115) per voter (minus Kanye himself, of course) and it's believed that there were roughly 60,000 votes across 12 states for the 43-year-old.

In a tweet, he wrote: "KEEP BELIEVING KANYE 2020 Thank you Jesus Christ."
It seems that the father-of-four decided enough was enough and threw in the towel as he tweeted again simply saying: "KANYE 2024".
He's already spoken of his confidence when it comes to the 2024 election, telling Joe Rogan that he will be running again in four years time.

Chatting on The Joe Rogan Experience, he said: "It was something that God put in my heart back in 2015. A few days before the MTV awards it hit me in the shower. When I first thought of it, I just started laughing to myself and all this joy came over my body, through my soul.
"There couldn't be a better time to put a visionary in the captain's chair. I'm not here to down Trump or down Biden, I'm just here to express why God has called me to take this position. I'm a great leader because I listen and I'm empathetic. I do believe in world peace."
It would appear he was already preparing for a potential 2020 loss, adding: "I'm definitely 100 percent winning in 2024. I was thinking I would possibly be the Democrat."

A day before the podcast went live of Kanye's interview, Jennifer Aniston pleaded with her followers not to vote for him.
She said: "I urge you to really consider who is going to be most affected by this election if we stay on the track we're on right now... your daughters, the LGBTQ+ community, our Black brothers and sisters, the elderly with health conditions, and your future kids and grandkids (who will be tasked with saving a planet that our leadership refuses to believe is hurting)."
Then ended the post with: "PS - It's not funny to vote for Kanye. I don't know how else to say it. Please be responsible."
In a now deleted Twitter rant - Kanye hit back saying: "Wow, that Rogan interview got em shook. Let's gooooooooo," alongside a screenshot of a Vanity Fair article titled 'Jennifer Aniston Endorses Joe Biden, Tells Fans 'It's Not Funny to Vote for Kanye''.

Kanye then followed up the post saying: "Friends wasn't funny either." Ouch.
