Yesterday on Twitter, a well-known man complained about his two year-old daughter making in-app purchases on her parents’ iPad:

Wow! That’s no fun. Kanye West has a net worth of millions and millions of dollars, so I’m very curious as to what kind of damage Nori could have done to prompt these tweets. Also, these tweets are particularly funny since Nori’s mother’s branded app — Kim Kardashian: Hollywood — netted $70 million in revenue last year, largely if not entirely through in-app purchases.
