[Diddums]

And yet he still can't deliver for toffee.

 

[Puzzled]

I bet he still won't buy a round down the pub though.

 

[Squark]

He could give literally every single person in the world $25 and still be a billionaire

 

[jsmoke]

Lend us a tenner.

 

[Zefan]

Whatever you may think about the hyper rich, consider what it takes to merely succeed in this hyper competitive world, let alone thrive.

Then consider that he took his business from this:

To this:

 

[Puzzled]

Yeah I should shave my head

 

[wedrum]

Guy will take over the world

 

[Gerard]

And yet he still can't deliver for toffee.

Doubt he does any delivering himself

 

[Yaayuh!]

At least a very questionable set of morals

 

[robfosters]

Is that after his £38bn divorce settlement?

Forget people, I bet there’s a decent list of countries that he’s officially richer than.

 

[Greebo]

He’s on track to be a trillionaire by 2025.

Don't forget Bezos's parents invested nearly $250,000 for this to be possible.

It's true what they say, you need money to make money.

I don't understand what you're trying to say, is it the obvious point that you need money to start a business? That is pretty common knowledge. It really doesn't matter that his parents invested, if you've got an idea and the drive, people will give you the money. Whether it's your parents or a bank makes no difference in the grand scheme of things.

Some people have invested a lot more than 250k in a startup and gone skint

Well not really, people (in general) make out that he started with nothing and worked his ass off to be the richest man on earth, (apart from the rothschilds/rockerfellas) but he had a nice investment from his parents, which to me breaks that belief people have that he started with nothing.

Out of interest how many billionaires are you aware of who genuinely started from nothing? I get your resentment - if there's no room in the pool for you, may as well **** in it, eh? - but you're being a bit disingenuous here.
