They would still have to pay Bezo's back at market value, so what would that accomplish?

Regardless of how much time or money you have, it is hypocritical to complain about another person not doing more if you yourself are in a position to do more.

All the people calling to "eat the rich" and to hang them in public square, say it directly to our own open_mouth_ who got lucky with an invention and made a shit ton of money. Tell him he deserves to die and have all his wealth stripped from him.

He doesnt deserve his money, no. He deserves a good life, free of financial worries, just like everyone else. He does not deserve millions of dollars while other people are homeless, or one disaster away from financial ruin.

I dont believe in people deserving to be rich because they invented something or whatever. Nobody does that in a vacuum, so nobody deserves all the profits.

The facade of that house is ugly af. Money can't buy taste.

I wish groceries were an 8th of a percent of my net worth.

whenever i dream of being a billionaire and money is no issue i tell myself i would buy a normal ass house. like i can't even begin to get in the same frame of mind as this guy but i got everything i need. i think maybe i'd get a house with a swimming pool, a garden, and a garage so my car doesn't keep getting smashed in the street. but that's not really too crazy to think of. a garden/garage is quite normal...a swimming pool maybe not so much but still.

maybe i'd move to a different area where there's less antisocial behaviour going on but still....

this is just insane. that looks like a park/resort area. i guess if you're that rich you need somewhere that has top tier security and privacy. i guess we're not just on the same wavelength as these people.

As I recall Warren Buffett has lived in the same relatively modest house in Omaha for 60~ years.

Robert Mondavi, the wine mogul, drove a brown oldsmobile or something for many years

Some people get rich by taking risks and innovating, others inherit it, but most of em are just cheapasses lol
