George Will has endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Watch out for flying pigs. The ultra-conservative, and baseball fan, comes to his decision reluctantly. He sees the need to dump Trump. His endorsement of Harris shows a clear lack of enthusiasm,...
most of the super-rich folks prefer stability over chaos.
Like a lot of people talk about how rich Musk and Bezos are. They’re likely not the richest people in the world- they’re the richest people in the world dumb enough to talk about how rich they are. The Rockefeller family, for example, has who-knows-how-much stashed away in blind llc’s etc, and all the Old Money types pay a fortune to maintain their privacy.
People like the Koch brothers (well except that fourth one that’s not talked about,)… they endorsed trump last time around because he promised to deregulate everything- and they’ve been on a tear ever since they got dinged for benzene leaks in Corpus Christi.
Musk is the richest person in the world, AFAIK. I believe he’s rapidly approaching trillionaire status.
That’s fake money. Rockefellers and Rothschilds have real money. As in capital and assets.
I wouldn’t call TSLA shares not an asset.
I would say those shares are significantly over valued. only reason they haven’t already collapsed is because of all the fanbois still sucking musk off.
When you’re talking about ‘richest people’, that’s total wealth, not just liquid money. The Rockefellers and Rothschilds may be wealthy as families, but no individual within them even comes close to having the amount of overall wealth that Musk and Bezos have.
This is not a good thing, BTW.
That. You. Know. Of.
Again. He’s not the richest man in the world. He’s the richest man in the world that is dumb enough to talk about it.
According to Forbes, he’s the richest.
that they know of.
You can link any news agency you want. It will always come down to “that they know of.”
most rich people will use tools to hide their assets (maybe not from the government, but from the public). Financial information- including stocks, general banking, companies they own or whatever. other assets these are generally confidential. The only really common exception is real estate, but there’s ways of hiding ownership behind companies, trusts, or such. there are entire lawfirms dedicated specifically to doing just that.
People like the Rothschilds or Rockefeller families, and others… They don’t advertise. They don’t share that information, and they take extensive measures to ensure their privacy.
One of those measures is not talking to Forbes and telling them how much cash they have in assets.
So whenever reading that list. Always add that line: "the richest person dumb enough to brag about it" Because honestly, bragging about it like musk or bezos do… is really freaking stupid.
