The cost of living keeps going up and corporations are buying all the housing out from under individual buyers but yes Bloomberg this is more important news.
Imagine losing to someone even though you are rich.
If I had all that money I’d just have more than Jeff.
I know, right? What even is the point. Congratulations, you’re the number one loser. Might as well just quit.
How do I join Team Nobody?
Make less than $1B
Hooray! I win but I lose!
Woohoo!! . . .
D’oh!
Fuck them both, I think Elon is worse but at their level of terrible the difference amounts to a rounding error
Elon is only worse because Bezos doesn’t share every thought in his head with the world.
Jeff Bezos USED to, back when Twitter properly existed.
He built his business by scamming warehouses… They’re both dirt. Bezos just isn’t as insecure and doesn’t try to gloat where everyone can see his insanity.
And he doesn’t even need that part of Amazon at this point anyway, the real money is in AWS.
American AlibabaThe Amazon store site could disappear tomorrow and he probably wouldn’t even feel it.I agree. In fact, because he doesn’t share his every thought, who knows what he believes? But Elon seems like he’s worse.
Good.
Thoughts and prayers 🙏
Setting up a gofundme for the poor fella, will post link.
For the record it’s extremely unlikely that either are in fact the world’s richest.
Just the richest people dumb enough to talk about it.
Yeah I always think that we know their wealth because it is in shares of publicly traded companies but you know it’s some Saudi oil baron or Russian Oligarch that is actually wealthier. My guess is probably Putin takes top spot and then the Saudis.
Most rich fucks use LLCs to hide their ownership of assets. (At least, from the public.)
If they’re privately owned, then there’s little functional difference, but you can use them to avoid reporting requirements (ie in a hostile take over.)
But then, also, there’s a lot of random LLCs on a random company’s ledger. Some of them are investment firms, and such, but some are also the assets of people like bezos or the Rothschild family.
Then there are leaders who essentially own everything in their country. Even if it is supposedly private property, it can be taken away at any time, meaning that it is really the leader’s property- Saudi Arabia, Brunei, North Korea…
Russian Oligarch that is actually wealthier
Putin himself has always been a strong contender
Saudis state oil factory is worth over a Trillion and all their wealth is sanction free.
I wish the media wasn’t so focused on stuff like this. It’s only feeding their egos and driving them to even further to out compete each other in the worlds biggest a-hole contest.
but rich people literally live for the biggest a-hole contest
You’re right. Post downvoted. I don’t care.
For every musk or bezos there are a hundred billionaires whom we’ve never heard of and who are just as greedy. I don’t think it necessarily changes much
After clicking OP’s body link I now know that the CEO that sits over Hennessy is the 3rd richest man in the world and has more money than Mark Zuckerberg. Weird.
I mean, it’s a whole lot more than Hennessey, but yeah.
Second richest, that’s terrible 🙄
Didn’t that happen years ago?
They’re both insufferable.
So stack Bezos ontop of Musk when we’re going for our guillotine day two-fer.
I’m not into capital punishment but I’m 100% ok with this.
Hopefully this means I won’t have to hear about Elon Musk in the news.
I hope you are right, sadly there’s an equal chance that the man baby will generate even more news.
