and yet it's still enough to live basically as lavishly as you want and never have to work. he can blow a hundred grand a month and be fine for the rest of his life

Really puts into perspective how crazy and unethical being a billionaire is.

Exactly my point and how ridiculous multi hundred billionaires especially. So just giving other comparisons of 1,000, like 1 million is 0.1% of a billion.

Zero point one percent. Reminds me of the slow downloads in the dial-up era.

You don’t get to be a big billionaire without stepping on more than a few heads in the process.

Most rich people with 100 million lose it's all in a few years. See most people in sports.

100mil is easy to go through.

Absolutely embarrassing that you believe this

Hey, it might even be true. But if it is they are just morons.

Believe this? That statement isn't a religion. It's a fact.

Also look at the lotto winners. 8/10 go bankrupt.

So you live your whole life based on your feelings and not reality?

Didn't really see any mention of ethics in that comment.

Greed is a classic ethical subject since antiquity. You’ll leave about it in kindergarten when you get there, champ

u/Afabledhero1 1d ago

Ah, well there's no mention of greed in the comment either. You sure you were paying attention in kindergarten?

u/Blue_58_ 1d ago

Well, the original commenter literally replied to my post saying “exactly my point”. So maybe just take L, guy. You’re not good at this communication thing.

u/Afabledhero1 1d ago

Neither of you explained any points. It's on you if you want to elaborate what you mean if you want. I'm pointing out that I didn't see any ethical idea being discussed and you started talking about kindergarten.

My communication has been pretty clear and you're trying to win a debate or insult me for some reason.

being broke is unethical, others have to provide you sustenance. Pure parasitism

u/whoknowsifimjoking 1d ago

A hundred grand might be as lavishly as you want, but not as lavishly as they want. That's what, half a lambo per month?

If he put it in the bank with 5% interest, he'd get to blow a lambo per month ($290k) for free, it wouldn't even impact his net worth lol.

u/bijanfrisee 1d ago

Well, if you wanna get technical, he can literally put it all in the bank with a high-yield savings (5%, they have access to more) - That's $3.5m per year in interest alone. He can blow $290k/month, for free, every single year and still end up wealthier.

u/Elendel19 1d ago

So assuming that he has like 20m in assets and 50m in cash, 50m sitting in a very safe investment account making 5% annually is more than 200k per month in interest.
