    known for his adventurous spirit

    Wait; what? Give me a break. How much adventure is there in two yachts and a helicopter?

      People building the yachts, and people operating them, are probably glad for the opportunity to divert some of the money to feeding, clothing, or treating, themselves and their families.

      The problem isn’t that billionaires spend money, the problem is that they don’t spend nearly enough.

        Oh Hells no

        You’re describing trickle down economy and how billionaires always claim that they HAVE to be so rich because it will trickle down to everyone, I promise!

        Bullshit

        Give everyone good wages, which is possible, and give everyone a job.

        Have the billionaires pay up-to 100% income taxes and up to 50% owning taxes per year until their fortune is down to ~10 million, which is about the max that any human being should have. You cannot tell me that it’s really fine for someone to have 100.000.000.000 dollars net worth while kids are under the poverty level in the US. With all the taxed money, you can immediately give everyone a universe income with which we can all live normal human lives.

        Fuck these oligarchs, I sincerely they all die in an avalanche as that would actually make the world a better place. These people are leeches.

        Ah the old trickle down.

        How many lives would have been saved if the people working to build yachts and facilitating trips instead worked to feed the homeless or something?

        Humanity has a limited pool of labour. If the billionaires spent more, it means more labour catering to billionaires, less labour catering to the rest of us.
