      Every billionaire is an asshole.

      Somewhere around 10 million in value you hit a point where every standard luxury is affordable for the rest of your life… maybe I’ll excuse people who make 50 million - but the wealth these assholes have is from greedy hoarding, there are coworkers or employees that have been fucked over so that the billionaire could steal all that value.

      Maybe they did it abstractly through speculation (which absolutely comes at the expense of others) or maybe directly (like Zuckerberg fucking over other early employees)… even Taylor Swift is guilty of this - it’s insane that she charges anyone but the super wealthy any money for concerts at this point.

      Every single fucking billionaire is an asshole.
