Kanye West Hopes ‘Famous’ Naked Wax Models Sell For $4 Million

I ain't sayin' he a gold digger, but ...

Kanye West is hoping to bring in some serious cash to Los Angeles art gallery Blum & Poe for 12 naked wax models of celebrities that were featured in his "Famous" music video.

The "Gold Digger" rapper held a secret exhibit in L.A. Friday showing off the life-sized animated recreations of celebs including Taylor Swift and Rihanna, as well as himself and wife Kim Kardashian — and now that art exhibit is hoping to rake in $4 million, according to the New York Times.

The co-founder of the gallery Tim Blum called the whopping price tag "a good ballpark."

"I would project a figure about that," he told the Times.

Silicon molds in the likeness of Donald Trump, George Bush, Bill Cosby, Caitlyn Jenner and Amber Rose also line the plush white pillows of the art installation, which was set up on a whim within five days after a call from West's manager Scooter Braun.

"To be honest, we did it for the sake of doing it," Blum said. "The show and project were not done with price or sale in mind. But I would act upon it as every other piece of art I handle."

Blum added that the piece is definitely on sale, "for the right buyer."

West — who has compared himself to Michelangelo — showed up to the event via satellite for only a few minutes and traveled around the room on a screen, controlling his movements with a joystick.
