like donating money to Trump, one of the richest guys on the planet?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Richest, "allegedly."

"Debatable" also works.

most likely in the top 500 (give or take two units in log2 scale if you are really worried about undeclared billionaires) in a world of population 8000000000 which puts him in top ~ %0.00001.

Unlikely. Billionaires don't drive businesses down the drain MULTIPLE times. Fake lied about how much assets he has and inflated the value of everything he "owns".

Dudes tax returns were leaked and um.... He's broke.

So Forbe estimates 3.5 billions.and value is tied to real estate which he has been found guilty of inflating.

Nobody truly knows how much he has. But one thing is for certain. No billionaire I know is grifting like this.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Every billionaire is grifting like this. That's how they become billionaires. Most just hide it better.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Unreliably rich.

[–] whyalone@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He is broke since a long time.

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

To be fair, you are also one of the richest people on the planet.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

To be fair, I dont ask people to donate to me either

[–] whyalone@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah. If you try to say that i am extremely rich compared to a an african or pakistani, then yes, but if in your own country you cannot afford a decent life, then you are poor

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Way to completely miss the joke.

Every person on the planet is one of the richest people on the planet, they just might not be very high on the list and the list might be very long.
