Unlike most people he has the option to either take an uber or reserve a night at the guest house on airbnbAm I looking at that right? he has to take a uber to his pool?
He can get Amazon to same day deliver him by droneAm I looking at that right? he has to take a uber to his pool?
I'll never understand how someone with that much wealth wouldn't want to be remembered as one of the world's greatest heroes for all time. He could solve student debt, fund public schools, aid Flint's water crisis, etc etc w/o breaking a sweat.
It makes me really sad that I probably won't live to see his fortune forcefully taken and redistributed to help those currently living in poverty.
There are let's say 552,830 homeless in America. Bezos could give each and every one of those homeless people $234,791.89 and still have 1 billion. A fraction of that cash distributed would still circle right back to Bezos.Meanwhile Venice, Skid Row, and Hollywood are run rampant with homeless.
As a future billionaire myself, I have to protect the billionaire class here and make one small revision.
article byline is: "If you make $60,000 a year, that's like spending $75 on a house"
Jeff Bezos does not make $131b (his net worth) in a year. It's kind of tough to calculate what he actually makes in a year because his net worth is all based on his ownership stake in his company, Amazon which is valuable partly because of his ownership stake in it. I'd imagine he doesn't take much regular pay from Amazon, and lives off of dividends, right? As a future billionaire I have to figure out how the payment model works.
The impending climate men like this have engineered have all but guaranteed that this will happen. It won't surprise me if the billionaires who've bought large tracts in New Zealand and other "safe" places eventually get dragged out and executed by the locals once things go to shit.We need to start killing these men and taking their wealth. I'll take a ban for it but it fucking needs to be said.
Lol that house alone isnt worth that much. Kinda shows how ridiculous LA pricing is for the richest man to spend 8% of his net worth on a house. That's significant af for one property. dafuq

There's not enough written about Jeff Bezos' crazy eye.
He definitely works harder than me. I spent a non trivial amount of time today arguing about the character motivations of John Marston in a 10 year old videogame.

Overpriced tbh, 100M of that is literally just the address
It'll keep appreciating though. there's literally no room left in LA for these types of properties + it's likely a very profitable short term rental house and filming location

Isn't the tax breaks companies like Apple and Amazon get worse than bezos being rich because his company is so successful.
I mean...apple has more actual cash just sitting overseas than bezos has from his ownership in Amazon.

I wholeheartedly agree. People who defend this kind of wealth are godamn delusional. We should be hanging them in the public square.

I drove by a local church over the weekend and poor folk were huddled up for warmth just trying to survive under an awning out front and this man can blow cash on a extravagance unlike anything ever seen. How are people ok with this?
1/8 % of 1 % of his wealth...Lol that house alone isnt worth that much. Kinda shows how ridiculous LA pricing is for the richest man to spend 8% of his net worth on a house. That's significant af for one property. dafuq
Most of the time the business is wealthier than the person. It's not a pass...it's a realization that actually taxing businesses will do more than killing bezos.

On Tuesday, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosed that the Amazon founder and CEO had sold 905,456 shares on Friday and Monday for a total of $1.84 billion. According to new SEC filings Thursday, Bezos sold an additional 810,912 shares Tuesday and Wednesday for around $1.65 billion. That brings his nearly weeklong total to more than 1.7 million shares sold for about $3.49 billion.
Honest question: why is Amazon not paying certain taxes always pointed out? The ones at fault is the politicians making the laws that allows Amazon to do this in the first place? Obviously there's lobbying so they are both to blame and now I feel dumb even asking.
Well obviously the size of the house needs to be proportional to the man. If Bezos were 90 feet tall, it wouldn't make sense for him to live on anything smaller than 9 acres.
I'm not sure why both options are equally weighted but I do feel we can do both (tax individuals and corporations). Hell Eisenhower taxed rich individuals high after WW2.
While also disgusting, an entire corporation sitting on piles of cash is a bit (and I emphasize a bit) less disturbing than a singular person controlling so much wealth.
If I had that money, I would be building $200k-$300k homes for many without a roof.
Because of the vitriol towards bezos in this thread when the article also states how much his company saved in taxes on their profits.
