I lost a lot of respect for Gabe after just reading quickly through that. How can you justify having 1, let alone 7?

I mean if you can’t have a gigayacht what even is the point of being a billionaire. And then letting a magazine write an article about it so all the other billionaires know you’re flexing on them. I mean the guy deserves the basics at least.


The only insane rich people things I'd do that a dentist couldnt are, like, a lazy river with fish and some cool greenhouses. Maybe some science funding for weird shit I want.

No. The coolest thing you can do is arm medically treat and train the homeless.

Imagine being the IT person that maintains those. Do they get to live on the superyacht on call? Or do they get serviced when he takes the yacht into the shop. These are my questions. I'm sure he knows about PCs but ain't no billionaire maintaining 15 gaming PCs himself.

Yeah, I recall a Ramsey poll where the fourth highest profession for millionaires is teaching. Learning from others and following a plan is how one becomes a millionaire. Teachers have those critical skills down.

> Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation It's a fantastic charity, and it funds a lot of other great charities. I'm very much not a fan of Bill Gates' career (I'm a diehard Linux user), but his charitable endeavors and recommended book lists are fantastic. I don't care if the person running a charity is a billionaire, I care that they do a good job. He has made philanthropy his life's mission, and that's exactly the kind of person I want backing a charity.

Sail into a Beaufort 12 storm with that colossal waste of everything.

Y’all paid for this. He should make room for you too.

He’s done things like partner up for a charity race team in IMSA and WEC. So don’t expect him to not spend his money.

Someone said almost exactly this a couple days ago. Like being a millionaire ain't the flex it used to be.

Gambling in any way is a problem. It's a dumb activity which leads only to sadness. There is no safe amount of gambling. I blame alcoholics for drinking, not brewers for brewing beer.

Everyone also seems to ignore that they started the lootbox epidemic.

$1M/year/person, he could have hired 50 talented developers to work on Linux for 10 years, which makes himself a hero afterall.

No, I mean he _literally does not run those._ It's like blaming the bank for 'running a drug empire' when someone buys some weed.

What do you mean how? The concept of a billionaire existing being bad has a massive relevance as to whether one individual a billionaire is bad. If the mere fact of being a billionaire is bad, which it obviously is, then it doesn't matter who this individual billionaire is he's already tainted by being a billionaire. That's just one plus one equals two. It's inescapable logic. Of course it's relevant.

It's not you, it's the billionaires who are the problem. It doesn't matter what you buy.

My friends and I have this imaginary scenario of funny things we could do with lots of money. A few that come to mind: - buy all the properties around gated community/HOA entrances and exits. build low income housing. - create an organization that intentionally donates to horrible causes on the condition you can say they accepted the money even if they return it. use the logo and organization name as a canary to warn everyone at a glance something is shady. - start an online youtube-like platform that shares the ways the fuck you money is being used hilariously. allow reposts to other platforms like youtube, but never take down our own shit, making any of their attempts to censor it self harming. I think I'm going to start referring to this scenario as #withGabeNewellsmoney

Ye but he's one of the good ones
