Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Foley was once worth $1.9 billion, according to Bloomberg, but left the company with a net worth of $225 million.

Jeez, the poor guy... only $225 mill... how do you go on living when you've sunk that low? ~/s~

I’ve done the math. I could live my entire life without working (except for fun) on $6 million. This MF has $225 million and describes it as losing all his money.

Fuck that guy.

You could live comfortably on the interest alone on $6 million, even with just a 1% AER you'd be getting $5k gross per month.

So yeah, fuck that guy.

Exactly. Although you can conservatively invest like, two thirds of it, and live much more extravagantly than $5k per month and still never run out.

For sure, not financial advice but more of an indication of the absurd amount of money $200+ million is.
