Smaug looks poor when compared to our modern ultra wealthy

I saw someone on some social media comparing Smaug’s wealth to these fuckers destroying the planet and killing millions and yes. Smaug might be wealthier than Musa Mansa but not the evil shits our culture worships.

There are two separate questions at the end there-should billionaires be allowed to keep their wealth and should they be obligated to pay their employees a good wage. Every employer is obligated to pay their employees as well as they can. And personal wealth is not the same as the wealth of a business. As we all know, the muskrat’s wealth is only tangentially connected to the value of his companies.
And no, they should not be allowed to keep that much wealth. Much higher taxes, much more punitive measures for evasion and so on.

An why do we need the opinion of the owner of a mail-order catalog company when it comes to planetary population theory? Sigh.

Because he’s a self-made super-rich man, man! Which is what we all want to be. Whenever such a genius says anything, he MUST know what he’s talking about!

I wish they’d drop the bad sci-fi baloney.
They’re sociopaths who don’t care what happen or who gets hurt, so long as they get obscenely rich.
All the rest is just smokescreen.

Hulk Hogan and Peter Thiel were trailblazers here… 
Thiel was the trailblazer. Hogan was just the blunt instrument.

Not a Saudi prince or an oligarch, but it is American video game billionaire Gabe Newell that has an armada of luxury yachts worth around $1 billion. Take a look at his 6 vessels that range from an research vessel, a 365 feet long luxury yacht and even a hospital ship.
A hospital ship? That doesn’t sound like the usual oligarch plaything.
One of these, named Dapple, is a 220-foot vessel refitted at Damen Yachting into a full-fledged hospital, serving as a safeguard for the cruising billionaire during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Oh. Right. Never mind, carry on.

Is there a better combination than this trio in the yachting world? Certainly not! The ship is equipped with a beauty salon, sauna, gym, deck Jacuzzi, and an affluent owner!
Why do I get the feeling that that article was written with one hand?
