Jesus Christ. "The lawsuit cites a memo that describes a plan to purchase the nation of Nauru to construct a “bunker” to ensure that effective altruists survive. The memo also stated that “probably there are other things it’s useful to do with a sovereign country, too.” #FTX #RichPeople http://bit.ly/3K9vv7y
Why so many rich people are assholes.
' [The] relationship between wealth and compassion has important implications. Those who hold most of the power in [the US] tend to come from privileged backgrounds. If social class influences how much we care about others, then the most powerful among us may be the least likely to make decisions that help the needy and the poor. They may also be the most likely to engage in unethical behavior. '

For some reason all the yachts and sailboats that decided to drop their anchors have done so in a straight line tonight. 🤷🏻♀️ They are queuing for no apparent reason. #oddities #richpeople #boats
But the improvement of advertisements is the degradation of artists. It is their degradation for this clear and vital reason: that the artist will work, not only to please the rich, but only to increase their riches; which is a considerable step lower.

I went to a carnival near my city. I photographed those 2 guys wearing these interesting hats, sunglasses and costumes, which they looking like rich people. Near them are more people, children and an old lady watching the carnival from her balcony. 🕶🎩

Triangle of Sadness - for me the middle ranked entry in the 2023 Shitty Rich People Cinematic Universe trilogy, above Glass Onion but below The Menu. The best bits are on the boat, with what comes after feeling a little “we are having An Allegory”, but it’s funny as hell throughout. #triangleOfSadness #richPeople #socialism

#KarlLagerfeld, lauded by #BurtTansky, the president of #BergdorfGoodman in the #1990s, as:
“…good for the whole business because excitement swirls around him…
He loves to create #controversy and he’s #catty.”
In 1954, 21-year old Lagerfeld wrote to his mother:
“Being noticed 👀 is the only thing that matters to me.
I don’t care what people say as long as they say something.”
Lagerfeld defending his shopping sprees:
“I hate #richpeople who live below their means.” 🤑

While I'm on this #vibe, here's a local news article about a champagne bar that's coming to a #richpeople neighborhood here. The same area is losing some longtime establishments that are nice but not ... burdensome. You can go in shorts and a guayabera and be perfectly at ease while enjoying brunch.
These new places just look like they take so much *effort* that only the dickbags for whom that is a primary motivation will end up going.
On one hand, I feel like she's gotta know about her own queer fandom at this point, but on the other hand, we can never underestimate the extent to which celebrities (and the wealthy in general) are out of touch with the rest of the world.

Do rich people even use the roads anymore or do they just fly between compounds?
