Martin Shkreli, the young pharmaceutical company executive who became the face of corporate greed after raising the price of a life-saving medication 55-fold, has offered Kanye West a generous pay cheque for his self proclaimed "gospel" album The Life of Pablo.

Shkreli took to Twitter to offer the American rapper $US10 million ($14.13 million) in exchange for exclusive access to the album.

"Here is my initial offer for the album. @kanyewest Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to your response," Shkreli tweeted alongside a photo of his proposal to West.
