Here’s what we need to talk about with all these famous people who are suddenly “losing” these mind boggling sums of money... That money **Never Existed In the First Place** All these people with their “net worth”, it’s all a mirage. It’s all speculation. Some D-bag at Forbes or WSJ does an analysis of their stock and property holdings and assigns a value to it all - but it is all made up. Something is “worth” whatever someone else is willing and able to pay for it. This is all just fancy beanie baby collecting. Some idiot publishes a book that says a plush toy is “worth” 500 bucks and other idiots go “OMG, I’ve got a whole closet full of beanies, I’m rich!” No, not until you find some dipshit who will actually give you 500 per beanie and is willing to buy your whole collection. Until then you’re just a dumbass who spent next month’s rent on an army of toys. Elon will be worth 200 Billion when someone is willing and able to buy all his shit for 200 billion. When Trump’s taxes finally, finally get released we’ll probably find out his “net worth” is actually negative. Kanye was never actually a billionaire. FTX was never worth dick. All this shit is fantasy and all these people are just con artists. The only difference between them and a common street hustler is they are able to convince banks and venture capitalists that their beanie baby collection is real.
