      But hear me out- what if she buys a social media platform so that all the people who worship her can read every deranged thought that comes out of her head, completely unfiltered?

      Can´t we just guillotine them? They look so stringy and tough. I´d much rather have some nice cheese instead.

      If our sociopath billionaire class had the capacity to find happiness, they would have cashed in their chips and fucked off to indulge any hobbies/passions they had forever a long time ago.

      They have a gaping “deposits only” black hole in their chests where a heart should be. It will never be enough, and unfortunately they use their power/capital to make their inadequacy everyone else’s problem.

        To be fair this woman seems to already have done that, except for the cashing in her chips part.

      The documentary on that family is really interesting, her mom wanted a son and was very open with her about not loving or liking her. Also, mom was anti-Semitic and mom’s dad was part of the nazi stuff. Daughter married a Jewish person. Her mom had alzheimers and was being taken for a ride for 900,000,000+ dollars. The daughter seemed to want to take care of her and for her not to get fleeced, but that could be how they edited the doc. The mom was doing all kinds of shady, get yourself locked up, kind of stuff but came down with dementia so she wasn’t held accountable. If you’re doing okay on money, can go on vacations and not living paycheck to paycheck, count yourself lucky I think.

      The secret to rich people’s happiness is philanthropy.

      The problem is, too many of them are too stupid to realize that having more for themselves while children die of starvation isn’t good for their conscience.

    All billionaires are unethical, greedy, exploitative assholes who don’t deserve anything that they have.

    Is this supposed to be an achievement of some kind? Pretty sure there are many empresses/queens/czarinas etc that have inherited as much if not more

      Maybe adjusted for inflation, maybe…. but I seriously doubt it, 100 billion is an astronomically high amount.

        Even $100 billion is nothing compared to the power that comes from controlling a nation state. Just in real estate terms, $100 billion is enough to maybe buy a really small city if no one noticed what you are doing. To control a whole country of land, people, and wealth is incomparable to anything achievable in capitalism.
