Karl Lagerfeld owns 40 iPods
Fashion guru, Karl Lagerfeld admitted in the French magazine “Elle” that he owned 40 iPods. The English translation reads: “These sweats are for someone that never jogs [talking about the clothes in the picture] even if the metal grey color is very chic, it is not for me. However, I love iPod, I have fourty of them. I recorded all the music I love on them.” MacBidouille states, “40 iPods, that is a maximum of about 1.5 TB (terabytes) of music, or roughly US$400,000 at the iTunes Music Store. That is, of course if Apple can provide that much music.”

40 iPods? Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of storing and organizing all your music in ONE compact and portable device?

Found the ad in French.
What he says: “...I have a 40.”
NOT “...I have 40.”
Don’t rely on Google translators or Babblefish or some such. Get real people…

Yeah, I was gonna say… 40 Ipods would just be retarded. Talk about disgusting excess.
ONE 40GB Ipod makes far more sense.

Hey Traveller63:
The French ad (on Macbidouille) says “j’en ai quarante” which literally means “I have forty of them”. It’s however very likely that the ad people misunderstood him when he said something like “j’ai un 40 (giga)”.

Let’s not forget that Karl Lagerfeld is not French, so there are multiple points at which this could have been mistranslated. Personally, I like the idea of him having 40 iPods.
