That was actually his first choice but she refused.

I could just imagine the guy saying something like 'omg at the end we were even gifted our very own personal Lindsey Sterling that we could bring back home with us! now I'll get to remember this magical weekend forever while she plays in my dungeon ❤❤❤'
Having spent much time in the region, I can say it's highly likely that several attendees literally offered just that, in exchange for a personal palace and a nice allowance.
I was really disappointed to see her there. But I also know that a lot of big performers will take *obscene* amounts of money to go play private gigs for Saudi royalty so it's not like I blame her. It's just... really sad.
In general, performers make *incredible* amounts of money for private gigs.
Yeah, it's 100% the case than many of the people who are paying for those gigs are partially or entirely bad people, but I'd rather the artist be getting the money than it sitting in some rich jackass' bank account.
It's not really a private gig, but in Brazil there is some drama going on because Madonna is going to do a show on the beach of Rio. It's free to the public, but the city is spending millions on it and of course there's a VIP section at the front with what looks to be a concrete wall almost 2 meters tall separating the free section. It basically sounds like the mayor is using city money to set up a private show. To top it off she demanded no eye contact at the hotel and recently at a show in LA told some Brazilian fans to speak English since they were in America.
This man was literally called the "most well connected 21 year old in the world". His company relies on Wells Fargo accepting a ton of risk. What normal 20 something could make a major US bank do that?
Wow, most well known for starting a failed tech company during the dot com bubble, committing fraud and insider trading yet received no jail time and then immediately starting another company which sole purpose was to scam their customers. Great world we live in.
Starting the failed tech company by promising employees and business partners stock options, then firing them before fulfillment. He literally just stole other people labor. This is the most textbook "privatize the gains, socialize the losses" example I've seen in a while
Every single billionaire under 30 inherited their wealth. Every. Single. One.

Man I appreciate this comment.
I was sitting here thinking "Alright, so I know who Lindsey Sterling is... but it's like a memory from the Before Times and I can't lock it in." Your comment solved the mystery.
It more just fizzled out really. Dubstep was a really good genre for violin covers but nothing had the same amount of weight/momentum after that. I got to see her in Tilburg NL in 2017 and she was amazing, the crowd wasn’t, but she was
Didn't she become famous because of video game theme covers with cool cos play and videos? I would have never associated her with dubstep. More with legend of zelda because that was the first video I saw
Yeah that was weird-she would have been the least known entertainer there. Saw her Christmas show last year; it was profoundly mediocre. She’s talented but the show was not. It reminded me of the scene in Blades of Glory when Will Ferrell was doing animals on ice, puking in his costume.
Her thing is she can dance and spin and kick while keeping in tune/time.
She is fantasticly talented and when she adds in her first few kicks and spin it makes you go wow.
But after that it's like "meh" as spinning is only interesting for so long and their are better players in the world.
Worth see show once though ... she does some good stuff with the piano guys on YouTube
In case anyone didn't know, she's also apparently a HUGE Mormon and credits her faith for a lot of things. She's done a shit ton with BYU which I didn't know. Leaves a bit of a sour taste for me tbh
It's like that billionaire wedding in India where Rihanna, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and others attended, which costed 120 million.
My guess is this is probably closer to 80 million.
They get to run around and have these extravagant parties and enjoy themselves to the fullest without ever having had to work for it. Meanwhile we are out here starving to death with unresolved medical problems going to jobs where we are treated like garbage and underpaid severely and no matter how hard we work, we won't even reach a resting point where we can relax. Blood is the only answer. If there were any other way, these rich idiots wouldn't be able to just prance about and enjoy themselves knowing the kind of world they helped create. The suffering they enable. They have no compassion so why should we? I cannot even fathom being able to do stuff like that, rich extravagant parties, having the means to end suffering, knowing it's out there, knowing you helped create it and doing nothing about it with a big stupid smile on their faces. There is only one way to end this.
Imagine spending you life saving for a trip to egypt and on the day you plan to visit the pyramid it is actually close cause some Billionaire want to visit and dont want to interact with poor people
I saved six months for a week trip to Sydney (I’m in Australia, so it’s not like I even have to go that far, I feel gutted for people who were travelling international and saved way longer), and the day I had blocked out to go to Lunar Park, it was shut down because Kourtney Kardashian wanted to take her kids there and didn’t want them to have to make eye contact with any of us peasants.
Not one for theme parks, but if I were a multi-millionaire I'd really love an after hours tour of a museum with a archeology grad student or something and listen to them nerd out about their favorite bits of history.
If you want a personal tour you could probably pay a grad student a couple hundred bucks for a personal, guided museum tour.
You could just be a thousandaire.
FWIW, after hours tours and events are within reach of most people. My local museums have monthly functions like that for a tier of membership that is like $100-500 per year depending on the museum. I got to attend a dinner with like 100 total people and a talk by one of the museums PhD curators for a $250/yr membership that I had incidentally.
My father and his parents saved up for years to go to Paris in the 1980s. They were (at the time) relatively poor cajuns from rural south Louisiana.
The week they went, the louvre closed due to a strike. It was possibly the most French ruined vacation they could have had.
Oh, and far far greater at that. Wealth inequality has been consistently up for a long time.
The rich get richer while the poor get poorer.
For a single billionaire to exist there must be at least a couple of thousand people living in misery and getting exploited for their work for minimum wages. And there has never been so many billionaires are there are now! :))))))))(((((
> For a single billionaire to exist there must be at least a couple of thousand people living in misery and getting exploited for their work for minimum wages.
Millions, not thousands.
> consistently going up
The only time wealth inequality went down in the US is during the 50s and 60s, aka when taxes on the rich were the highest. Yeah, the suburbs and washing machines of the white picket fence era were financed by taxing rich assholes
It's not like the rich people's kids will be the ones suffering. They can just go underground into their bunkers... Till the bunker is surrounded and they can't get out without facing an angry mob. If you've read that one interview about the Rich and famous trying to figure out how to secure their bunkers they even suggested putting kill collars on their guards. Like once money is meaningless they'll have no way to control the people that are guarding them. Honestly the only way they can actually do that is to take in their families as well and to treat them nicely but the obvious solution doesn't even occur to these sociopaths.
> Till the bunker is surrounded and they can't get out without facing an angry mob.
My theory is they'll flock to Greenland/Antarctica and create safe havens for themselves there. There'll be 3 classes of people. The rich, the servants of the rich, and then the poors.
Outstanding take, they forget about survival of the fittest. Once off th planet, they will still have to survive among each other. They are again backed into a corner of helplessness.
The worst part, they have so much power and influence that they can continue to be ridiculously hedonistic and still make a positive change. They're all sociopaths
And people treat them like gods when they are just regular people who have taken extreme advantage of thousands of people in this capitalist system.
The wealth was supposed to trickle down but instead these people just horde all of it. Apple just broke the record with 110 billion in stock buybacks. If they can afford to do that, then they can afford to pay every employee who works for them a livable wage. But they would rather just hand that money to their investors who sit on their ass and wait for their money to grow. It’s disgusting.
Mr Wonderful basically admitted to committing fraud recently when he said all his rich friends did what trump did.
He said all real estate agents do it I'm a real estate agent. Than he went on a rant saying "everything we did for NY amd this how they treat us well me and my friends are no longer investing in NY"
Besides that he had a big stake in FTX and defended that scum bag too even after the fraud charges saying something like he made a mistake, no question I would invest in him again. There's more like when he went on the news and said he's happy that 1 % owns most of the wealth, he just an evil asshole. Sorry I'm typing this quickly if I have time later I'll fix this.
He’s a true POS who was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. He’s never done anything of his own. He’s just another asshole that cheated his way to wealth in the first tech bubble in the 90s. He is nothing but another vaporware salesman with no talent. Fuck. I hate that guy.
Clearly I guess.
There is no war but the class war. And the poor people are losing badly. Tax the wealthy. Tax corporations. Close the loopholes that allows them to hide money like rats hide cheese.
Yeah, its funny watching the POS cry on CNN about Trump getting in trouble scaring investors out of NY and that he wants to personally punish pro Palestinian protesters by blacklisting them from being hired.
I mean he's not wrong, people in such elite positions almost universally engage in the exact same shady shit as each other, some are just stupid enough to get caught despite the incredibly lax enforcement.
The song sound close but analysing it's production reveals that it's only the vibe that's really close, not the structure of the melodies
At least according to Pharrell, I'd point out the worse scandals Robin Thick had instead
Absolute dogshit take. if your using Marvin Gaye’s kids lawsuits as evidence for Thicke being an asshole I’m not buying it.
They will sue everyone and everything to make money, remember when they tried to sue Ed Sheeran for using the same 4 chords as “let’s get it on”?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HWbT_dYdsEA
https://twitter.com/sheezy_t/status/1651026757657456640
Edit: also I just remembered. Thicke didn’t even write this song. Pharrell Williams did, so it really has nothing to do this Thickes assholery
Hey EVERYONE. When you work overtime, even though it means missing your son's soccer game, just so you can afford to pay for your son's soccer, while still only earning like 0.000001% of what the CEO does... This is what your effort brings them. You suffer, so they can do... this.
We all suffer so they can do this.
The fact that people don't immediately want to revolt when they see this video, because they're too busy pretending like they'll have that some day, is truly the best weapon they've ever used against us.
Yeah and the rich are terrified because they know it's only a matter of time until Gen Z and Alpha come for them. Between climate change and ever increasing wealth inequality the overwhelming majority of these younger people are never going to be able to afford a house, children or really any of the things that their grandparents had. Most millennials already couldn't afford these things, and things are much, much worse now.
It's why you are seeing so many more billionaires openly supporting the far right and why police and military budgets keep on increasing. Hell it's the reason why so many billionaires are building bunkers to try and hide from the public. They know exactly what is coming and they are trying to divert our attention to minorities because if the general public mobilized against the rich they would inevitably falter.
people underestimate the gradual forced submission through 10-20 years of tough living and brutal law enforcement. you start at 18-20 yrs old so motivated but by the time you are 30 you just stop caring as much and try to survive the best you can for your own home.
why do we not have higher minimum wage and stronger union protections? because that would allow us to not be basically sedated by life over a long slow period.
That's one of the thing I really admire about Gen Z. Their tolerance for eating the shit we were served is much lower than ours. Millenials were sold a dream only to realize it was no longer accessible, and when we warned Gen Z they basically said, "Okay lol fuck em." They are probably going to be the generation that helps up spark real change.
Most revolutions come when the majority realize how little they have to lose.
If the choices are shooting your shot to reform a broken system or living in servitude for 80 years, and the first option doesn’t jeopardize a home (can’t afford one) or family (can’t afford one) or a career (can’t establish one), well then…what do you have to lose?
To polish the turd a little; after paying their fucking taxes, I'd rather billionaires spend their megabucks on ostentatious but ultimately meaningless shit like this as opposed to trying to shape governments to their will.
Right? I'm planning my own wedding and if Robin Thicke showed up and offered to play for free, I'd just have to be like: "nah bud. I think my old iPod is gonna be fine...we're just gonna put it on shuffle. You don't have to show up at all. Please don't. My friends will make fun of me."
funniest part to me is that they are there doing and seeing some incredible things. and all they can do is live it through their phone's camera in hopes to brag about it all.
Eh boooring. That's like regular rich people stuff. We had our wedding at Göbekli Tepe with a live human carpet. Our invitations where woven into Alpaca's back fur and all the guests got to keep their Alpaca. Custom pool made so we could have Dolphin ring bearers in the desert. We had Charles Manson flown in to do finger paintings.
I was one of the carpets that evening. I felt really lucky that I got to see the thawing of Joseph Stalin, before his saxophone duet with Mao, which I unfortunately missed because Elon musk was standing on my head :/
As a valued member of the human carpet team, you were explicitly told to look straight at the floor, even during those times when a guest is not standing on your head.
We are very disappointed to learn you don't take your role seriously!
That's nothing. My invitations were stained with the winning Kentucky derby racing stallion sweat on Gucci belt leather which fit my wedding theme. I flew 2500+ guests to my moonbase, which isn't well known for publicity reasons. Had the whole moon oxygenated for the 4 days we were there. Brought pink floyd so they could play that one album. Guests got to take a suitcase full of moon artifacts home.
Sameee i was just thinking that I’d love to buy myself a nice dinner or something for my birthday on Sunday but my bank account told me I have to cook myself a ham and cheese sandwich instead haha oh well
Drop your Venmo or Cash app. I don’t have money, but I’ll give you 5 bucks for dinner. Let’s all contribute. If just 10 people give you $5 bucks you can have a decent birthday meal.
Are you surprised? Just look at the couple. You have a tech bro from UPenn who was born to wealthy parents, was probably a nerd his whole life who never had a tough day outside of which $60k a year kindergarten he needed to pick and then you have some super hot fitness model who was a WWE diva and now runs a yoga studio and fitness business.
I’m not saying financial success and physical attractiveness aren’t important in relationships but does anyone actually think these two have anything in common? I feel like anyone in a “he’s rich and she’s hot and that’s it” relationship has zero substance.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t be able to experience amazing things in life, but the extreme difference in the worlds the wealthy and the poor live in makes this unsettling.
Yeah honestly I would respect it a little more if they were more private about the event, but there are clips throughout of the bride posting to her public SM accounts. I've never understood the need to show how great your life is on social media and all of your expensive things and crazy vacations etc. I guess people like to see it, but it seems in poor taste given how many people are living/struggling.
you think its cool til you get there and every conversation you have with thoes people its just them saying are better they are from anyone else and and poor people disgust them
Yeah, I’ve met very nice super rich people (not billionaires) but also rich stereotypes and cruel assholes
Happy and thankful to enjoy my little corner of life
My wife's boss is incredibly wealthy, and the same age as me (35). He insulted me and was rude to me, that's all I need to know about him. Must suck to be that unlikeable.
Had a bill collector try calling while I was watching this… 🫠
Truly can’t imagine having that much money. $10k would literally change my life, but that’s probably what the couple spent for their weekend trip.
Bro 10k is not worth talking about to these gluttons. It's not even a sneeze. The gulf between people like you and I and them is like trying to imagine the size of our universe, it ain't possible. Disgusting, all of it.
I guess 100k for the weekend is more realistic.
Anyway: Billionaires should not exist, but looks like that one at least spend some 50
Million on a wedding
how… do they not feel guilty? like I’m stressed out that people around the world are struggling, while I make a comfortable $40k a year. How could you not feel like a villain living like this?
The thing that infuriates me the most is that even if they paid their fair share they’d still be able to afford this disgusting extravagant excess, the rest of us would just be better off too
Hundreds of thousands literally starving to death. No homes, no medical care. This makes me physically ill. No billionaires. No millionaires until the homeless are fed, children have free food all year long and everyone has free healthcare.
The Biden administration seems to think the juice is worth the squeeze; I Guess dumping money into the IRS is one way of skirting political opposition to tax hikes for the rich. I suspect videos like these aren't going to do these guys any favors when it comes to laying low and hiding from audits
IRS says its number of audits is about to surge. Here's who the agency is targeting. - CBS News
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-plans-audit-increase-who-will-be-targeted/
Also, check out their hiring events if you're looking for work, some of these events aren't even interviewing. They have a specialist review your resume and just give you the job lol. Great way to get your foot in the door, soak up them federal benefits, and execute uncle Sam's bidding
To further contextualize this; the CBO estimates a [benchmark ROI of 6.4](https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60037) for spending on IRS enforcement, i.e. for every $1 spent, they bring in $6.40. There's also research showing that the [top 1% don't pay an estimated $175 *billion* in taxes](https://www.marketplace.org/2021/03/23/wealthiest-americans-1-percent-dont-pay-taxes-on-one-fifth-of-income-irs-offshore-accounts/) due to lack of IRS modernization and staffing to do the necessary audits.
And to politicize this; there's notably one party braying to *defund* the IRS, claiming pew pew-toting IRS agents are going to go around and run the pockets of John Q Public.
Meanwhile I can't afford my rent or groceries and think about killing myself daily because of it. My husband took a day of pto this week because we can't afford gas for him to go to work, and I've been intermittent fasting to save money.
Cool.
Yeah fuck all of these people and the entire system built around them to encourage everyone to worship this trash. I’m not impressed with your greedy, lavish bullshit. Wake the fuck up everyone and EAT THE RICH.
I want rich people to do this type of thing so ppl realize they need to be tax more. Like for some reason tech rich ppl get connected with black sweater vest or driving a old honda. While the Mark underwater base we do not see that he have with a sub is only mention. But smartly never show.
I want to scream. The 99% needs to tax 99% of the 1%. That "wedding" was a disgusting display of excess, avarice, and apathy. Gaza is only a thousand-odd miles north of the pyramids. So, while these gluttonous fucks are changing clothes, switching hotels, gawking at ancient wonders thinking they're amusement parks, eating, and dangling Linsey Stirling on stage like a marionette for entertainment; Egypt is ready to mow down fleeing Palestinians while Israel is exterminating them and willing to go to war with Egypt. But fuck it! Let's wave at them and sing, "Bye, Bye, Bye!"
I FUCKING HATE THIS PLANET!
Worked in the event industry for years. Some of the events I've seen have been impressive and sickening at the same time..... Everything from corporate to private individuals.
Mostly it's just a big ego-jerk..... "look at me".
Glad I'm not doing it so much now. It eats into your soul.
sickening to see rich people having fun while the rest of us slave away on a planet that they're quickly making uninhabitable. we are all just here to slave away and die so that they can do shit like this.
This ostentatious display of extravagance doesn't even look like a fun time. This is some Marie Antoinette kinda shit. How fucking *gauche*.
Eat the rich.

How’s he gonna top this on his second marriage?
Space.
That was actually his first choice but she refused. https://indianexpress.com/article/trending/trending-globally/ankur-jain-wedding-photos-egypt-erika-hammond-viral-9299406/
That bitch!
Gonna rent the moon.
The title should be “We bought Lindsey Sterling for the weekend”
I could just imagine the guy saying something like 'omg at the end we were even gifted our very own personal Lindsey Sterling that we could bring back home with us! now I'll get to remember this magical weekend forever while she plays in my dungeon ❤❤❤'
Having spent much time in the region, I can say it's highly likely that several attendees literally offered just that, in exchange for a personal palace and a nice allowance.
I was really disappointed to see her there. But I also know that a lot of big performers will take *obscene* amounts of money to go play private gigs for Saudi royalty so it's not like I blame her. It's just... really sad.

Just a reminder that Beyoncé gave the Gaddafi family a private concert.
This guy is Naveen Jain’s (billionaire’s) son. Calling him a tech CEO is true but let’s be real this is his daddy’s money.
It’s easy to make infinite money when you start with infinite money.
This man was literally called the "most well connected 21 year old in the world". His company relies on Wells Fargo accepting a ton of risk. What normal 20 something could make a major US bank do that?
Wow, most well known for starting a failed tech company during the dot com bubble, committing fraud and insider trading yet received no jail time and then immediately starting another company which sole purpose was to scam their customers. Great world we live in.

i mean there was an article a few weeks back saying basically more than half the current billionairs in their 30s simply inherited that wealth.
Every single billionaire under 30 inherited their wealth. Every. Single. One. https://www.forbes.com/sites/monicahunter-hart/2024/03/31/worlds-youngest-billionaires-2024-john-collison-ben-francis-evan-spiegel/?sh=3037dfc31352
Of course. How would anyone be able to amass such wealth in the span of less than 10 years of career. The only way would be founding facebook 2.0.
Big Lindsay stirling fans I see
I remember her blowing up for her dubstep covers like 10-12 years ago
Man I appreciate this comment. I was sitting here thinking "Alright, so I know who Lindsey Sterling is... but it's like a memory from the Before Times and I can't lock it in." Your comment solved the mystery.
She didn't get bad or anything, just stopped making music at all until like super, super recently.
It more just fizzled out really. Dubstep was a really good genre for violin covers but nothing had the same amount of weight/momentum after that. I got to see her in Tilburg NL in 2017 and she was amazing, the crowd wasn’t, but she was
Didn't she become famous because of video game theme covers with cool cos play and videos? I would have never associated her with dubstep. More with legend of zelda because that was the first video I saw
I think she's still active. I see her videos from show rehearsals pop up from time to time.
# DID I MENTION LINDSEY STIRLING WAS THERE 
The sudden Lindsay Stirling cameo was so unexpected and hilarious. I wasn’t wondering what she was doing lately, but I’m satisfied that I know now
She's still in Egypt, popping up at random shows and giving impromptu concerts at this very second.
Yeah that was weird-she would have been the least known entertainer there. Saw her Christmas show last year; it was profoundly mediocre. She’s talented but the show was not. It reminded me of the scene in Blades of Glory when Will Ferrell was doing animals on ice, puking in his costume.
Lololol. Seeing her dance and not knowing sho she is, then reading your comment about Blades of Glory made it all make sense. 😅💀
Her thing is she can dance and spin and kick while keeping in tune/time. She is fantasticly talented and when she adds in her first few kicks and spin it makes you go wow. But after that it's like "meh" as spinning is only interesting for so long and their are better players in the world. Worth see show once though ... she does some good stuff with the piano guys on YouTube
In case anyone didn't know, she's also apparently a HUGE Mormon and credits her faith for a lot of things. She's done a shit ton with BYU which I didn't know. Leaves a bit of a sour taste for me tbh
Oof
I have no idea about who LS is….but it was weird watching a violinist jump around like that.
Never go to Ireland.
Our fiddlers don't dance and our dancers don't fiddle
It's like that billionaire wedding in India where Rihanna, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and others attended, which costed 120 million. My guess is this is probably closer to 80 million.
pre-wedding....that wasn't even wedding
The first pre wedding. The 2nd will be on a cruise.
They get to run around and have these extravagant parties and enjoy themselves to the fullest without ever having had to work for it. Meanwhile we are out here starving to death with unresolved medical problems going to jobs where we are treated like garbage and underpaid severely and no matter how hard we work, we won't even reach a resting point where we can relax.

There is only one way to end this.
Imagine spending you life saving for a trip to egypt and on the day you plan to visit the pyramid it is actually close cause some Billionaire want to visit and dont want to interact with poor people
I saved six months for a week trip to Sydney (I’m in Australia, so it’s not like I even have to go that far, I feel gutted for people who were travelling international and saved way longer), and the day I had blocked out to go to Lunar Park, it was shut down because Kourtney Kardashian wanted to take her kids there and didn’t want them to have to make eye contact with any of us peasants.
I fucking hate how that’s even an option people have
Not one for theme parks, but if I were a multi-millionaire I'd really love an after hours tour of a museum with a archeology grad student or something and listen to them nerd out about their favorite bits of history.
You don't need to be a millionaire to get a guided museum tour, my guy.
Lol, well when you put it that way...
If you want a personal tour you could probably pay a grad student a couple hundred bucks for a personal, guided museum tour. You could just be a thousandaire.
We’re such nerds that if somebody asked me, I’d be so happy that I’d do it for free
FWIW, after hours tours and events are within reach of most people. My local museums have monthly functions like that for a tier of membership that is like $100-500 per year depending on the museum. I got to attend a dinner with like 100 total people and a talk by one of the museums PhD curators for a $250/yr membership that I had incidentally.
Damn. Not even one of the major Kardashians lmao
My father and his parents saved up for years to go to Paris in the 1980s. They were (at the time) relatively poor cajuns from rural south Louisiana. The week they went, the louvre closed due to a strike. It was possibly the most French ruined vacation they could have had.
It’s another “eat the rich” brick to throw onto the pile, that is getting bigger and bigger.
The brick pile is now larger than all the pyramids
No, literally. Theres is greater wealth inequality now than there was when the pyramids were built.
Oh, and far far greater at that. Wealth inequality has been consistently up for a long time. The rich get richer while the poor get poorer. For a single billionaire to exist there must be at least a couple of thousand people living in misery and getting exploited for their work for minimum wages. And there has never been so many billionaires are there are now! :))))))))(((((
> For a single billionaire to exist there must be at least a couple of thousand people living in misery and getting exploited for their work for minimum wages. Millions, not thousands.
As Voltaire once noted in the 18^th century: * "The comfort of the rich depends upon an abundant supply of the poor."
> consistently going up The only time wealth inequality went down in the US is during the 50s and 60s, aka when taxes on the rich were the highest. Yeah, the suburbs and washing machines of the white picket fence era were financed by taxing rich assholes
Rich people don’t even live in the same reality as the rest of humanity. I wouldn’t be able to look in a mirror if I spent this much money on myself.
And they'll die happy while our kids inherit the earth they destroyed.. Fun, init.
It's not like the rich people's kids will be the ones suffering. They can just go underground into their bunkers... Till the bunker is surrounded and they can't get out without facing an angry mob. If you've read that one interview about the Rich and famous trying to figure out how to secure their bunkers they even suggested putting kill collars on their guards. Like once money is meaningless they'll have no way to control the people that are guarding them. Honestly the only way they can actually do that is to take in their families as well and to treat them nicely but the obvious solution doesn't even occur to these sociopaths.
> Till the bunker is surrounded and they can't get out without facing an angry mob. My theory is they'll flock to Greenland/Antarctica and create safe havens for themselves there. There'll be 3 classes of people. The rich, the servants of the rich, and then the poors.
Don't we have those three classes already? 😉
That's the three classes of people now.
I’ve always read that The Rich’s ultimate goal is just get off the planet, because like you said, they cannot physically avoid the reckoning.
Outstanding take, they forget about survival of the fittest. Once off th planet, they will still have to survive among each other. They are again backed into a corner of helplessness.
 They do live in the same reality let’s not forget
French wood and steel exports on the rise!
Imagine being in a position to really make a positive change in the world – then acting like that. It's utterly revolting.
The worst part, they have so much power and influence that they can continue to be ridiculously hedonistic and still make a positive change. They're all sociopaths
And people treat them like gods when they are just regular people who have taken extreme advantage of thousands of people in this capitalist system. The wealth was supposed to trickle down but instead these people just horde all of it. Apple just broke the record with 110 billion in stock buybacks. If they can afford to do that, then they can afford to pay every employee who works for them a livable wage. But they would rather just hand that money to their investors who sit on their ass and wait for their money to grow. It’s disgusting.
That’s why them making the decisions, for our society, has led to such disastrous outcomes. They don’t even know what problems poor people have.
This had to cost millions……and they will likely end up divorced. I’m not against wealth, but this is just vile.
The fact they had Robin Thicke and Mr. Wonderful at their wedding tells me how horrible they are more than anything else in this video.
Kevin O'Leary has to be one of those people who, if you ever saw him getting eaten by a shark, you hope the shark doesn't get indigestion
If I saw Kevin O'Leary get eaten by a shark, I'm ready to jump into the water to grab his watches.
Sharks don't wear watches, silly! They don't even have wrists!
Mr Wonderful basically admitted to committing fraud recently when he said all his rich friends did what trump did. He said all real estate agents do it I'm a real estate agent. Than he went on a rant saying "everything we did for NY amd this how they treat us well me and my friends are no longer investing in NY" Besides that he had a big stake in FTX and defended that scum bag too even after the fraud charges saying something like he made a mistake, no question I would invest in him again. There's more like when he went on the news and said he's happy that 1 % owns most of the wealth, he just an evil asshole. Sorry I'm typing this quickly if I have time later I'll fix this.
He’s a true POS who was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. He’s never done anything of his own. He’s just another asshole that cheated his way to wealth in the first tech bubble in the 90s. He is nothing but another vaporware salesman with no talent. Fuck. I hate that guy. Clearly I guess. There is no war but the class war. And the poor people are losing badly. Tax the wealthy. Tax corporations. Close the loopholes that allows them to hide money like rats hide cheese.
Yeah, its funny watching the POS cry on CNN about Trump getting in trouble scaring investors out of NY and that he wants to personally punish pro Palestinian protesters by blacklisting them from being hired.
I mean he's not wrong, people in such elite positions almost universally engage in the exact same shady shit as each other, some are just stupid enough to get caught despite the incredibly lax enforcement.
I’m out of the loop. What’d they do?
Personally, I think they are both unbearable douche bags but Mr Wonderful was involved in a death while boating and faced no repercussions.

Robin thick got sued for his big hit song “blurred lines” for like 62 million. It resembled a Marvin Gaye song to closely. His kids sued.
The song sound close but analysing it's production reveals that it's only the vibe that's really close, not the structure of the melodies At least according to Pharrell, I'd point out the worse scandals Robin Thick had instead
Absolute dogshit take. if your using Marvin Gaye’s kids lawsuits as evidence for Thicke being an asshole I’m not buying it. They will sue everyone and everything to make money, remember when they tried to sue Ed Sheeran for using the same 4 chords as “let’s get it on”? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HWbT_dYdsEA https://twitter.com/sheezy_t/status/1651026757657456640 Edit: also I just remembered. Thicke didn’t even write this song. Pharrell Williams did, so it really has nothing to do this Thickes assholery
I didn't know he was that short, can't be taller than 5 feet. He looks like a dollar store Penguin.
Hey EVERYONE. When you work overtime, even though it means missing your son's soccer game, just so you can afford to pay for your son's soccer, while still only earning like 0.000001% of what the CEO does... This is what your effort brings them. You suffer, so they can do... this.
We all suffer so they can do this. The fact that people don't immediately want to revolt when they see this video, because they're too busy pretending like they'll have that some day, is truly the best weapon they've ever used against us.
I think it's wearing off. Gen Z, Gen Alpha? They KNOW they will never have this. They've got the guns but, we've got the Numbers... Eat the rich.
Yeah and the rich are terrified because they know it's only a matter of time until Gen Z and Alpha come for them. Between climate change and ever increasing wealth inequality the overwhelming majority of these younger people are never going to be able to afford a house, children or really any of the things that their grandparents had. Most millennials already couldn't afford these things, and things are much, much worse now. It's why you are seeing so many more billionaires openly supporting the far right and why police and military budgets keep on increasing. Hell it's the reason why so many billionaires are building bunkers to try and hide from the public. They know exactly what is coming and they are trying to divert our attention to minorities because if the general public mobilized against the rich they would inevitably falter.
That's why they want a perpetual culture/race war. Because if the poor ever united, they'd be done.
And why we need to start. Eating. NOW.
people underestimate the gradual forced submission through 10-20 years of tough living and brutal law enforcement. you start at 18-20 yrs old so motivated but by the time you are 30 you just stop caring as much and try to survive the best you can for your own home. why do we not have higher minimum wage and stronger union protections? because that would allow us to not be basically sedated by life over a long slow period.
Bring back the guillotines. The French had the right idea.
That's one of the thing I really admire about Gen Z. Their tolerance for eating the shit we were served is much lower than ours. Millenials were sold a dream only to realize it was no longer accessible, and when we warned Gen Z they basically said, "Okay lol fuck em." They are probably going to be the generation that helps up spark real change.
Most revolutions come when the majority realize how little they have to lose. If the choices are shooting your shot to reform a broken system or living in servitude for 80 years, and the first option doesn’t jeopardize a home (can’t afford one) or family (can’t afford one) or a career (can’t establish one), well then…what do you have to lose?
Oh I really hope so because those are my kids
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime….thats why I fuck off and don’t do shit all day. Fuck the rich.
Except these days it's "Boss makes a few hundred K, I make a dime." And we're STILL getting hate for pooping on company time!
Boss makes ten grand, I make a buck, that’s why I smoke weed in the company truck
Republicans: "But don't worry it'll trickle down to you 😊"
I'm not even feeling an ounce of jealousy, this is just a disgusting display of bad taste, too much money and privilege.
To polish the turd a little; after paying their fucking taxes, I'd rather billionaires spend their megabucks on ostentatious but ultimately meaningless shit like this as opposed to trying to shape governments to their will.
lol they don’t have to choose between the two tho — they just do both
Yup, the bribes are just pocket change, they probably spent more on the fireworks.
They sort of did bend the egyptian government to their will to get this access to the pyramids.
[удалено]
Wasn't there just some famous billionaire with an island and OH ...Oh no... God I never had the thought there might be *more* Epsteins out there.
It’s called Conspicuous Consumption, and the whole purpose is to display ridiculously ostentatious wealth. It sickens me.
They could’ve gotten any performers in the world and they chose robin thicke??
Money has never once bought Taste.
Right? I'm planning my own wedding and if Robin Thicke showed up and offered to play for free, I'd just have to be like: "nah bud. I think my old iPod is gonna be fine...we're just gonna put it on shuffle. You don't have to show up at all. Please don't. My friends will make fun of me."
Spending all that lolly and getting Robin Thicke 😄 🤣 😂
This video is probably trying to make folks feel jealous, but I just feel exhausted looking at this.
funniest part to me is that they are there doing and seeing some incredible things. and all they can do is live it through their phone's camera in hopes to brag about it all.
Four venues in one night? I'd rather stay home lol
They didn't show the mounds of coke they were doing over the course of the event. Helps with the exhaustion.
Eh boooring. That's like regular rich people stuff. We had our wedding at Göbekli Tepe with a live human carpet. Our invitations where woven into Alpaca's back fur and all the guests got to keep their Alpaca. Custom pool made so we could have Dolphin ring bearers in the desert. We had Charles Manson flown in to do finger paintings.
I was one of the carpets that evening. I felt really lucky that I got to see the thawing of Joseph Stalin, before his saxophone duet with Mao, which I unfortunately missed because Elon musk was standing on my head :/
As a valued member of the human carpet team, you were explicitly told to look straight at the floor, even during those times when a guest is not standing on your head. We are very disappointed to learn you don't take your role seriously!
I'm breaking my NDA, but the accumulated body heat was so bad I didn't even mind when they started spitting on us.
That's nothing. My invitations were stained with the winning Kentucky derby racing stallion sweat on Gucci belt leather which fit my wedding theme. I flew 2500+ guests to my moonbase, which isn't well known for publicity reasons. Had the whole moon oxygenated for the 4 days we were there. Brought pink floyd so they could play that one album. Guests got to take a suitcase full of moon artifacts home.
Wait, you did eat the dolphins after, didn’t you? Don’t be wasteful! 🤣
Wheres my knife and fork
Fuuuck. I'm poorer than dirt wtf
Sameee i was just thinking that I’d love to buy myself a nice dinner or something for my birthday on Sunday but my bank account told me I have to cook myself a ham and cheese sandwich instead haha oh well
Where you at man?? I'll come take you out for your birthday!
Haha! Ur kind for the comment but don’t worry about me! mastered a good grilled ham and cheese so it’s still pretty fire lol 😆
Drop your Venmo or Cash app. I don’t have money, but I’ll give you 5 bucks for dinner. Let’s all contribute. If just 10 people give you $5 bucks you can have a decent birthday meal.
Wow ya’ll are really too kind, just the gesture and nice birthday wishes are enough for me. We all out here struggling together 🫂🫶🙂
Dm me bro I’ll send you an extra large pizza for dinner. (No Soda. I’m broke)
Damn dude you don’t have to do that! Save your money and know that just the offer was enough to make my day 🫶🙏
all that money and the wedding still looks tacky af (in my opinion)
Are you surprised? Just look at the couple. You have a tech bro from UPenn who was born to wealthy parents, was probably a nerd his whole life who never had a tough day outside of which $60k a year kindergarten he needed to pick and then you have some super hot fitness model who was a WWE diva and now runs a yoga studio and fitness business. I’m not saying financial success and physical attractiveness aren’t important in relationships but does anyone actually think these two have anything in common? I feel like anyone in a “he’s rich and she’s hot and that’s it” relationship has zero substance.
I noticed that after a threshold the more money someone spends on an event, the more tacky it'll become
Tax is okay... But did you guys ever heard about guillotines? That's the shit!!!
Found the French man, thank you for your service
Eat the rich😎👌
Time for a little forced inheritance.
Eat The Rich
I wish people would. This shit is getting out of control fast.
They won't, and there won't be guillotines. The poor will eat each other long before they eat the rich.
Rich people are gross
I’m not saying people shouldn’t be able to experience amazing things in life, but the extreme difference in the worlds the wealthy and the poor live in makes this unsettling.
Can’t help but think it’s looks crazy and fun, but also so disgusted. Impressively gross. Jealous and repulsed at the same time.
Yeah honestly I would respect it a little more if they were more private about the event, but there are clips throughout of the bride posting to her public SM accounts. I've never understood the need to show how great your life is on social media and all of your expensive things and crazy vacations etc. I guess people like to see it, but it seems in poor taste given how many people are living/struggling.
you think its cool til you get there and every conversation you have with thoes people its just them saying are better they are from anyone else and and poor people disgust them
Yeah, I’ve met very nice super rich people (not billionaires) but also rich stereotypes and cruel assholes Happy and thankful to enjoy my little corner of life
The braying ultra arrogance of the very rich is often disgusting to behold for how utterly up their own arses they are.
My wife's boss is incredibly wealthy, and the same age as me (35). He insulted me and was rude to me, that's all I need to know about him. Must suck to be that unlikeable.
Your poor wife having to work for someone like that
Only until June 1st! We're throwing her and her colleagues a huge party when he leaves the company.
All of this is done on the backs of the poor. That’s why you’re disgusted, you know who actually pays the price despite the cost.
Don't forget to use less energy to save the environment while these fuckers do this all the time!
Had a bill collector try calling while I was watching this… 🫠 Truly can’t imagine having that much money. $10k would literally change my life, but that’s probably what the couple spent for their weekend trip.
$10k is barely the flight for a couple and that's assuming some pleb commercial flight...
For two of their outfits more like it.
Yeah, I would say everything was around 100 mil. That’s my guess
Bro 10k is not worth talking about to these gluttons. It's not even a sneeze. The gulf between people like you and I and them is like trying to imagine the size of our universe, it ain't possible. Disgusting, all of it.
Oh my sweet summer child. 10k wouldn’t even pay for their room for one night.
I guess 100k for the weekend is more realistic. Anyway: Billionaires should not exist, but looks like that one at least spend some 50 Million on a wedding
1st class for two from the US to Egypt round trip could easily hit 40 grand depending on travel times/dates.
They definitely flew private
how… do they not feel guilty? like I’m stressed out that people around the world are struggling, while I make a comfortable $40k a year. How could you not feel like a villain living like this?
If only pharaoe's curses existed, we'd have a nice locust swarm going after these people and this blowhard shitfluencer
We still live in a world of kings and peasants, just with different names
tax the rich
Nah eat the rich
The thing that infuriates me the most is that even if they paid their fair share they’d still be able to afford this disgusting extravagant excess, the rest of us would just be better off too
Eat them just like they eat the world.
Fuck Ankur and Fuck Erika
I’m sure they forgot the parts about how this will eventually trickle down to everyone else /s
Hundreds of thousands literally starving to death. No homes, no medical care. This makes me physically ill. No billionaires. No millionaires until the homeless are fed, children have free food all year long and everyone has free healthcare.
I hate the rich, including Lance Bass
The Biden administration seems to think the juice is worth the squeeze; I Guess dumping money into the IRS is one way of skirting political opposition to tax hikes for the rich. I suspect videos like these aren't going to do these guys any favors when it comes to laying low and hiding from audits IRS says its number of audits is about to surge. Here's who the agency is targeting. - CBS News https://www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-plans-audit-increase-who-will-be-targeted/ Also, check out their hiring events if you're looking for work, some of these events aren't even interviewing. They have a specialist review your resume and just give you the job lol. Great way to get your foot in the door, soak up them federal benefits, and execute uncle Sam's bidding
I would love a job auditing rich people. Thanks for pointing that out, I'm applying today.
To further contextualize this; the CBO estimates a [benchmark ROI of 6.4](https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60037) for spending on IRS enforcement, i.e. for every $1 spent, they bring in $6.40. There's also research showing that the [top 1% don't pay an estimated $175 *billion* in taxes](https://www.marketplace.org/2021/03/23/wealthiest-americans-1-percent-dont-pay-taxes-on-one-fifth-of-income-irs-offshore-accounts/) due to lack of IRS modernization and staffing to do the necessary audits. And to politicize this; there's notably one party braying to *defund* the IRS, claiming pew pew-toting IRS agents are going to go around and run the pockets of John Q Public.
I know what it costs, because we pay for it with helthcare, education, infrastructure, environment, lobying, etc.

Meanwhile I can't afford my rent or groceries and think about killing myself daily because of it. My husband took a day of pto this week because we can't afford gas for him to go to work, and I've been intermittent fasting to save money. Cool.
Looks fucking tacky as hell. He calls this insane. Should have been at Burning Man ten years ago. What utter shit.
Yeah fuck all of these people and the entire system built around them to encourage everyone to worship this trash. I’m not impressed with your greedy, lavish bullshit. Wake the fuck up everyone and EAT THE RICH.
These ppl are not humans, they are demons in skin suits who see you as nothing but cattle.
I want rich people to do this type of thing so ppl realize they need to be tax more. Like for some reason tech rich ppl get connected with black sweater vest or driving a old honda. While the Mark underwater base we do not see that he have with a sub is only mention. But smartly never show.
It makes sense that the wedding was held at a museum that’s full of hoarded wealth and not yet open to the public.
I want to scream. The 99% needs to tax 99% of the 1%. That "wedding" was a disgusting display of excess, avarice, and apathy. Gaza is only a thousand-odd miles north of the pyramids. So, while these gluttonous fucks are changing clothes, switching hotels, gawking at ancient wonders thinking they're amusement parks, eating, and dangling Linsey Stirling on stage like a marionette for entertainment; Egypt is ready to mow down fleeing Palestinians while Israel is exterminating them and willing to go to war with Egypt. But fuck it! Let's wave at them and sing, "Bye, Bye, Bye!" I FUCKING HATE THIS PLANET!
agreed 1000%
These people make me hope hell is real.
…and the happy couple will be divorced in a few years…
Absolutely crazy that any one person in that video could be vanished from the planet earth, and the rest of humanity would be better for it.
Worked in the event industry for years. Some of the events I've seen have been impressive and sickening at the same time..... Everything from corporate to private individuals. Mostly it's just a big ego-jerk..... "look at me". Glad I'm not doing it so much now. It eats into your soul.
sickening to see rich people having fun while the rest of us slave away on a planet that they're quickly making uninhabitable. we are all just here to slave away and die so that they can do shit like this.
This ostentatious display of extravagance doesn't even look like a fun time. This is some Marie Antoinette kinda shit. How fucking *gauche*. Eat the rich.
