What's the point of being rich without indulgence?

[Lorenzo de Medici]

my man buffet is a G though. He release his annual statement to his stockholders like two weeks ago. Berkshire hathaway has about 30 billion in cash and my man said "my trigger finger is itchy."

The definition of ballin'.

 

[Maalik]

let me be worth 40 billion, just like u said im building a palace and im a stunt like a mother fucker

These cats on here being politically correct LOL..im keepin it thorough

whats the point in busting your way to the top, steppin on millions of backs to get there only to live the same way an accountant at one of your companies lives. sounds retarded huh? you mine as well give all your money away if you dont plan on using it...its ass backwards.

 

[Maalik]

ole boy may flaunt or wield extravagant trivialities one would imagine& or expect. but if u think Buffet's wealth doesnt afford him shit that nann one of us have done or ever will do ur playing urself. he is wealthy and living a wealthy life

Yea I know....

i think i've just come to the conclusion that whites & blacks just are different. we stunt like a muthafucka & dont gotta problem with people calling us "nouveau riche". some of them go broke but, that's beside the point lol. we enjoy that shit. white folk like to label themselves as refined & as "old money", all that dough & no idea how to really stunt.

and yes, I know that sounds ignorant but, fuck it

quagmires that are ubiquitous in today's america begs to differ w/ ur generalization

credit card debt for frivolities (especially for xmas) and a considerable chunk of the current housing crisis are a result of indiscretion.

American culture is to consume and spend even if you dont have it...thats not some negro specialty we just fell in line

its traditional to stretch your paycheck to it's thinnest extent JUST to finance a car(s)

nothing refined or old money-ish about that

 

[desertrain10]

i'm sure he has indulgences. lol

and like someone else posted buying mansions and tons of cars isn't everyone's idea of "wealth"....

who knows all of what dude does with his money

 

[one_manshow]

Actually thats a pretty dumb statement.

^Has never travelled outside of America post.

Holla at me when you visit the most poorest countries in the world.

Tell that to people in sub-saharan africa.

Have been to sub-saharan Africa and other countries in Asia and let me tell you people who live in poverty are still the happiest people on this planet.

Ever met a 90 year old blind man who has 3 wives and 15 kids that take care of him and only lives off $150 USD per month?

Some of y'all really need to explore the world when all you know and breath is America it makes you absent minded to whats going on in other parts of the world.

I understand what you're saying...but, i know you understand what i meant...

Sean Combs knows how to stunt alot harder than say..........Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs.

Do whatever fits your personality and desires. And know the consequences of whatever course of action you take.

i really dont like to compare celebs and famous rich people to regular circumstances...they are literally living in an alternative reality

but puff is an entertainer..his job consists of him being tv...of course his exploits are going to be exploited...its in his position's best interest

if flossing on tv would assist in maintaining and possibly raise apple's stock prices, ud better believe hed do that hsit

 

[kingofharts]

People who are that wealthy are usually just people who had an idea that they truly believed in and it just happened to be a great moneymaker. Their happiness tends comes from being able to change aspects of the world, not in the money it generates. People who do great work with the hope of getting rich, rather than getting rich with the hope of doing great work might just be the true definition of hustling backwards.

This was real underrated, and is probably closer to a real reason why they a Gates or Buffett isn't out there stunting, ignorant intra-cultural tendencies aside.

Hell, they're even giving away the majority of their fortunes.

And that's why, 50,100 years from now there still will be institutions linked to them like there still are those linked to Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, etc. Versus say someone like a Birdman, who bought a bunch of million dollar cars.

Cause once you get it, the choice is to do for self or society.

what's so great about stuntin?.... it can be fun for awhile but it attracts to much negative attention and after a while that car or that chain or w/e would
eventually get out dated and lose its luster... i rather live comfortably, invest, travel the world and past on my money to my fam and a worthy cause

and at the end of the day i have more respect for a mark zuckerberg for donating 100 mill to newark school system
and conserving his wealth rather than buying his 16 yr old son a phatom... if the wealthy were more charitable like a
zuckerberg the world woud be a somewhat better place

 

[CTYO]

40 billion dollars is enough to fix a lotta shit
if its just sittin in ur account so u can rack up interest then u should be shot and your wealth distributed amongst IC members

buffet and bill gates signed a petition to give away most of their wealth.

Bill gates is giving 3 mill to his kids when he dies... that's it.

the rest is going to be given away

bill gates is in a mission to get rib of Polio from third world countries

Just because, they're rich doesn't mean they're heartless

plus, if I had 50 billion dollars... who would you trust with it?
give it away to some ignorant muthafuckas that's probably gonna do more bad than good
or keep it for yourself cause you know how to handle it and what to do with it?

i was born in cameroon and i can honestly tell you that's not how it works. although many of them live relatively happy, stress free lives, you best believe they would trade it all for the opportunity to live in the us

Uh, no.
Some? Sure. All? Heck no.

Do you know how many come to America to build their business only because of better opportunities and resources in order to make greatly larger profits for the sole purpose of returning home? They utilize our tools here to bring what they earn from it back home. So many old heads who come here and when their job is done they leave. They can't stand it and I can't blame them.

 

[BP OIL SPILL FACE]

To be honest with you, I'm not the flossy-type of person at all. Even if I was rich, I wouldn't be flossing like a big time baller. Sure, I would have a house, but it wouldn't be a mansion; sure, I would have a couple rides(old school Cadillac and SUV), but nothing outrageous like a $1 million car or 30 cars; sure, I wouldn't just be selfish with all of my money, but I also wouldn't be stupid with it. Sometimes in life, you have to be wise and spend your money wisely. Not everyone is into the glamorous life. Hell, I would even take trips to different states/countries if I had a lot of money, but I wouldn't get out of hand with it.

that's why middle and upper middle class africans continue to move to the united states

 

[Conscious__Nkechi]

that's why middle and upper middle class africans continue to move to the united states

And many of them, as I am clearly stating that while not all many, move back when they actually get to experience life here. And my statement actually applies to black immigrants, period. America is not paradise for everyone.

never said it was but it's often portrayed as one. and it's a lot better than cameroon in terms of opportunity. some people don't care where they go (england, france, canada, ect.) they're just trying to leave the 3rd world.

Exactly, which is why when some don't quite get what they bargained for they end up leaving.
@ The highlighted-Yup. Which sometimes makes it even funnier to hear Americans forever complaining.

 

[D-Marco]

I get T/S point. but when u have that long wealth they dont care about stunting. They have nothing to prove.

Whats Bill Gates gonna buy some rims??lol

There conservative White folks. They not about that life. Meanwhile I would ball till I fall with that kinda loot
