Thinking money trickles down is like thinking waterfalls flow upward, against gravity.
And they love to work right?
Love to work! They’re always saying that!
What the deal with bootstraps?
This poverty is making me thirsty.
Has a billionaire ever lost all their money? Outside of criminal cases. Seems impossible.
There was a browser game some had developed where you had to spend all your money. It was similar to cookie clicker.
The point of the game was that once you have a billion dollars, you have so much money that you literally could not spend that much money.
I could easily spend a billion dollars but most of it would be doing Mr Beast type shit like building houses and wells and hospitals or paying for people’s medical procedures.
You have to be pretty heartless to have that much money and keep it all to yourself
Perhaps Mikhail Khodorkovsky. I’m sure he managed to squirrel away some of his wealth and now lives comfortably in exile, albeit with a huge bullseye on his back. But if your standard is “lose 100% of their wealth” then that almost never happens to anyone, even working class people who declare bankruptcy due to overwhelming debts.
Does Muammar Gaddafi count? He lived like a king with an anime-style cadre of elite female bodyguards, being essentially the emperor of Libya. He died after some soldiers dragged him out of a ditch and summarily executed him.
It helps that they don’t eat avocado toast, so they don’t lose money.
