Twitter loses its mind over Trevor Noah's blinged up penthouse
Trevor Noah has made it and South Africans are having none of it!
Well a lot of us aren't.
The Daily Show host has splurged a reported R130 million on a Midtown Manhattan penthouse.
He has officially made it and according to Twitter can now leave the #PeopleWhoThinkTheyMadeIt club.
Congratulations tweets are still pouring in, but there's also the hilariously unnecessary backlash.
Twitter is outraged and have now made it about who the comedian is dating, why he's not spending his money in South Africa and even why he's not pumping money back into South Africa.
Because you know we have the full lowdown of what he does with his dollar bills.
Trevor Noah doesn't fall under that category of #PeopleWhoThinkTheyMadeIt in life...????

So some amongst you don't want a young African child (Trevor Noah) to invest his own money in property?

What's wrong with you people?
According to reports, Noah traded in his two-bedroom apartment for a duplex in the Stella Tower in Hell's Kitchen.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Noah's new three bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom penthouse boasts wall-to-wall windows, an eat-in chef's kitchen and very luxurious finishes.
This is what a typical apartment in Stella Towers looks like.
These tweeps are bang on the money and say the anger is all a little misplaced.
South Africans are seriously mad at Trevor Noah? Lol! That's HIS money. Be mad at your president, 'cause that's YOUR money.

South Africans: There are lots of broke yellow bones in SA, why doesn't he date them.
You guys weren't even this mad when homegirl CharlizeTheron adopted a Malawian baby. Or there were no SouthAfrican orphans then? #TrevorNoah

There are two types of South Africans. Those who are inspired by #trevornoah and those who are just bitter #TrevorNoahDoesntOweYouAnything

Some even believe Noah owes us something.
Trevor Noah was never black, besides that nonsense about being born a crime, he kept the land.

Whatever the sentiment - one thing is clear, Trevor started at the bottom, and now he's…well in a penthouse.
