RSJ Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Bezos will probably run the team like Snyder runs the Skins. Do not want.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? You really think that losing 35 billion means little? It's a chest crushing amount of money to lose It's like 10 Woody Johnsons. by the way measuring wealth at that level is not precise. "A simple google search" based on what? Forbes magazine is essentially an educated guess I.e. Bezos owns X number of shares of AMZN therefore he's worth Price of AMZN times X. That's only part of the picture What's his cash? What's his gold? What about his other non-stock CAPITAL? What are the Jets worth to Woody? It can be appraised, it can be estimated, it is not a real number until he sells it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Objectively you are correct but these guys exist purely for the score that's why they are billionaires not just millionaires. For many, cashing out at the 100 M level is just fine a billionaire doesn't need to make money at all... but they still do every day and it brings them joy even though they didn't really need it POV the day you lose 1 billion, let alone 35 of them... none of can presume to know what that feels like it probably feels like the joy making a billion, but in reverse ... 35 times over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt. Because anything you want to buy with 145billion you can buy with 2billion. You still would make more money each year from interest alone than you could spend in a lifetime. This is absolutely crazy how some people are crying for billionaires, who only get there by stealing form the public. It's also socialize the losses and privatizes the gains. i think there is a big difference between 145B and 2B. but 145B and 100B? nope.

funaz Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 What is the difference between 145 billion and 2 billion? Your looking at it by percentages and not with how much money that actually is. If you have 100k in the bank you are closer to someone with 20 million in the bank than someone with 20 million in the bank is to a billionaire. 1 billion is an absolute obscene amount of money that none of us can really even comprehend. i think there is a big difference between 145B and 2B. but 145B and 100B? nope.Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funaz Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Incorrect, it is 100% about self driving ego, and wanting more and more. It's not about a great company, not about doing good, it's about hoarding and measuring his dick against others Zuckerberg is exactly the same way, as are all billionaires. Even gates and buffet who pledge to give away their fortunes after they die, it's all self driven greed i don't think Bezos does it for the "score".

I have met numerous billionaires over the years. They work because they love it and are competitive.
