    About time he upgrades! It’s already been 3 years and he’s still floating around in that piece of junk yacht from before. It’s good he’s upgrading to a super MEGA yacht now, although, should probably start building his next one so it’s ready in time for the newest yacht trends in 2030. Can’t fall behind the times.

    Because Tillman doesn't want to pay his fair share of taxes.

    I don't think the Plutocrat class realizes how ridiculous they look with their stupidass ultra yachts to normies and how much most of the world is actively rooting for them to pull a Bayesian

    But when there's a bailout he was the first in line with his hand out. For the staff of course!

    I have no hate for someone being a billionaire. I do have hate for a man worth billions of dollars asking for a handout from the tax payers - it is immoral.

    It's the way the system was setup and a guy doesn't become a billionaire by not taking advantage of the way the system was setup. His businesses (Restaurant/Casino) were greatly affected by the pandemic. He did what 99% of businessmen would do in that situation.

    Yes all billionaires are greedy and use their power to stay at the top, at the expense of everyone else.

    How much money should a person be allowed to make in a lifetime IYO?

    I dont consider Musk to be greedy, he's investing in trying to put a man on Mars in his lifetime. Also buying twitter saved free speech.

    I don't get the hate ..... other than a couple people who have driven a negative narrative towards Tilman but they are frauds anyhow.


    Don't any of you have boats? I have one and plan on building another. Billionaires just have bigger boats.

    Why y'all mad?

    People who trade time for money will never understand that a man's biggest value lies in his idea's - IF he has any.

    It's idea's that transformed man from stone age to modern society, not the ticking of a clock.

    Lots of people have amazing ideas. Not everyone has access to the massive capital required to make those ideas reality.

    Once you get enough money, you can also outsource the ideas part. That's what VC is, when you really drill down to the essence.

    I worked for a private company owned by a billionaire for three years. I sat in the meetings where the billionaire just sat there entertaining business ideas pitched by his team of very smart people who traded time for money because they didn't have millions of dollars to fund their own dreams. It was very inspiring (radicalizing) to watch this guy, who essentially got lucky once, parlay that into being the bank for other people, where he took about 95% of the wealth generated from any new business venture. He would have taken 100% if the head of his investment evaluation team wasn't getting a 5% cut. The people who had the ideas though...they got paid for their time.

    Almost every billionaire in the U.S. started on third base, halfway to home. Raised by college-educated parents in upper-middle-class or upper-class homes, with upper-middle-class and upper-class peer groups to network with. This is especially true of the finance bro billionaires, but it also largely applies to the techbro billionaires as well. Pretty much none of them were the sons or daughters or janitors or electricians.
