How Much Are Nicki Minaj's Tweets Worth?

According to a new formula developed by Esquire, Young Money rapper Nicki Minaj's tweets on Twitter are worth about $648 apiece.

Here is how the equation is broken down:

* Take Twitter's $10 billion valuation and divided it by Twitter's 195 million users = $51.28

* Take anyone's follower count, divide it by 27 (2010's average follower count) = Tweet Cache Index (TCI)

* Take the TCI, multiply it by $51.28 = Tweet Cache Index Value (TCIV)

* TCIV divided by user's number of tweets = #MyTwitterIPO or ((followers ÷ 27) X 51.28) ÷ #tweets = HOW MUCH YOU'RE WORTH

When you plug Nicki Minaj's 2,445,994 followers and 7,198 tweets into this equation you come up with a figure of $648.

There is a lot of talk about just how accurate this formula is and if it even has any real meaning. Especially when you factor in that lots of Nicki Minaj's tweets are re-tweets. Does this lessen the value?

You also have to factor in that lots of Nicki's millions of fans re-tweet what she tweets. Shouldn't this be factored into the equation and add value to her tweets?
