With 2015 behind him, what does Kanye West plan for 2016? Apparently time in England and a very posh lifestyle is at the top of the list. Mirror reports that Kanye West and his wife are currently purchasing a plot of land in the English countryside for half a million pounds. Kanye had plenty of opportunities to scope out potential properties when he visited Oxford University last year, and when he was the headliner for the Glastonbury Festival. According to a source, the couple plans to build a residence fit for royalty on the English property.
“Kanye takes his image very seriously and he currently has his sights set on an aristocratic lifestyle. While he will always have a home in LA – where Kim’s expansive family are based – he likes the idea of having a manor across the pond.”
In addition, the source revealed that Kanye West wants to have a medieval portrait done of his family, including his two children, North and Saint, that ultimately will hang in their English residence.
“The portrait is all part of his upper-class image. It will probably hang in their home in LA to begin with until the English country home is ready.”

Those sound like some big plans for Kanye West in the coming year. And according to GQ , Kanye has already started 2016 off as the most stylish man of the year. Well, at least when it comes to workout style, since he was seen sporting a 5-layer workout outfit to get in his exercise in the chilly January air.
Whatever 2016 brings to Kanye West, it will include much success in his career. With that and a fabulous family, he can’t steer himself wrong on this journey of life. Good luck to Kanye and his family as they make their dreams come true.
