An Arab billionaire paid $3 million each to have Jay Z and Kanye West perform a few sets at his daughter's sixteenth birthday party. The girl reportedly comes from a family worth 1.2 billion dollars. Bet the birthday party was one she won't forget anytime soon. In other Kanye West news, anyone planning to attend a "Watch The Throne" show would be advised to not throw business cards at Mr West.
