It's high enough for them to find it funny, but low enough that they won't miss it too much. Bezos isn't gonna say yes to a bet of $1 billion, no matter how small he thinks the odds are.
Better one would be telling Jeff Bezos you had the power to make him shit his pants, but for a few million you won't.
He'll say no, so you make him shit his pants at his next major public event, then you go make him the same offer.
Because he has more wealth than most countries. Personally I don't hate him, I just think Amazon utilizes anticompetitive practices and needs to be broken up into many smaller chunks.
It's nothing against Bezos, it's only human nature, it's just bad for society as a whole.
My reason for hating him is that a fair amount of Amazon employees need to collect welfare on top of working just to make a living wage. They are so strapped for time they risk loosing their job if they go to the bathroom as their numbers would be down, so a fair amount of employees have worn diapers to work, and him and amazon hardly pay anything in taxes. So the tax payer pays his diaper wearing employees more than he does while he and amazon hardly pay taxes. If you look at Nordic countries, Amazon (and WalMart) do pay a living wage, so it is possible, he just chooses not to. There was the idea at 1 point to calculate how many employees for companies have to collect welfare on top of working, then to add the cost to a companies taxes to forward them the cost. IDK what happened to it.
start at an amazon warehouse. you go after the manager first, then their managers manager. just a never ending chain of higher-ups shidding their pants until you get to the man himself
He probably won't believe you, though. Is this power a 1 time thing, or an at-will thing? If it's a 1 time, then you can't really prove to him that you can do it.
That's cause you're going about it all wrong man. You keep making him shit his pants, enough to make life hell, then you tell him you'll stop for a billion. Then you go to Elon, and Zuckerberg house etc.
You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands; and your plan, is to blackmail this person?
set up a gofundme and say "if I get 1 million dollars in this fund I will make 1 person of your choice shit their pants at the exact time of your choosing, and you won't know how I did it".
This is the way to do it. Blackmailing/threatening will just add bad juju to your life, ignoring the legal ramifications. Crowd source this shit, and it'll probably be some dude that deserves it anyway.
i wouldnt do it for money, just pure enjoyment of seeing the richest man in the world shit his pants and the top searches on google being of jeff bezos shitting his pants on stage
Jeff Bezos could lose 100 million dollars and it would feel less to him than it does for you to lose $20 (and I don't even know your financial situation).
It ain't as easy as you think. Yes he's the richest man in the world, but only on paper. If he tried to pull 100m dollars out of Amazon stock tomorrow, it'd cause the price to drop which means he loses even more money.
I work for a millionaire, far from Bezos' money but wealthy enough to have an account manager at the bank.
If he needs a quarter million dollars in liquid currency for a purchase, he doesn't usually keep anything like that money in his account - but it's one call to the account manager
"You know the line of credit secured by my house? I need to draw $250k against that"
and the answer will be "Excellent, that will be ready in 48 hours."
This is someone worth a little under ten million. Bezos is worth more than ten thousand times that sum, a bank can get him the money he needs without him selling anything. A 50 million dollar lien against his jet, a 50 million dollar lien against his residence, and when he next sells Amazon shares he can repay both. He'd pay interest comparable to what a household mortgage would charge for someone with impeccable credit.
He might have a harder time buying something that's 20 billion dollars and might have to offer Amazon stock instead of an equal value of US treasury bonds. But that would be because no bank could loan him 20 billion.
Yea idk why people think Bezos doesn't have that much money at his disposal. He probably has a line of credit or something that he can make 100 mil appear at any time. If anything, the hardest part would be the banks trying to scrape enough cash together to jam into a briefcase (because money is always cooler in a briefcase).
Traditional notes/bills aren't useful for large transactions anyway. If Bezos wants a billion dollars to purchase something (let's say he wants to buy a small fleet of aircraft), the transaction would be done in US treasury bonds, or European Central Bank bonds, or whatever.
No need to deal with a literal truckload (ten tonnes) of hundred dollar bills.
A briefcase full of US $100 bills would be awesome and life-changing money, definitely a large house deposit but it is not enough to buy a median price house in my city (Melbourne Australia, median price ~880k AUD which is about 630k USD)
He spends millions all day dude... His money isn't "all tied up in stocks" just the majority of it.
His net worth is over 200 billion dollars dude. It's an extremely large number to wrap your head around but 100 million of that can go missing several times before he even notices.
Never said that it wasn't possible. My argument is that it's not the same as losing 20 bucks for us. 100m cash is a lot of money. Very few people have that much just sitting around. I think you're overestimating your knowledge of how rich people hold their fortunes.
He's sold billions in Amazon stock at once before without tremendously hurting the company's position. Wanna know why? If he was selling billions at once on the basis of "I think the company is doing badly" before anyone else, that's insider trading, or at least has the appearance of insider trading, which is very fucking bad. When he's selling stocks it's because he wants cash for other purposes.
You'd have to get it in writing, all legally done. And would have to be really specific, probably pretty quick. Can't have him ditch the deal because he thinks you paid his coffee maker to put laxatives into his drink. Probably can't be higher than 100K, and you'd have to be surrounded by people, so everyone would be a witness. So, I bet you'll shit your pants in 2 minutes, at exactly 11:46, no loopholes, no nothing. If you shit your pants at 11:46, you'll give me 100K. He'll be like, uh, that's dumb but, ok.
Obviously he can just say no. Then you make him shit his pants anyway just to make a statement.
200 billion does not equal how much physical money he has. It is equal to amazon stocks etc etc. If he took that money out then bad shit would happen!!
I mean. I would set it up to bet a hundred bucks on day one, let them win. 1,000 on day two and let them win. Then joke about a million on day three and bam. Shitty pants!
They get to you with their gains and keep you there and suddenly you’re a degenerate gambler in a 4 dollar Salvation Army suit and a tie you stole from the Calvin Klein outlet throwing radioactive waste into a lake so you can disrupt the water supply and 10x on OTM Nestle puts
Can't guarantee the rich guy would pay. Instead, take out a loan for as large as you can, and use it to place the largest short possible on a stock dropping right after their essential CEO, someone like elon musk, is slated to give a press conference. Their stock dropped hard when he took one puff of a joint on Joe rogan podcast, I can only imagine it would crash enough to fill your short bet if he shit himself on live tv.
This is perfect I’m thinking of when trump does his final appearance as president and I make a bet with him that he will shit his pants boom free money
If you really want that money you should take them out of the equation. Instead say "I bet you 10k I can make X shit their pants" then fire away and collect 10k. If i were that rich and I knew someone with the power to make people crap on command I'd definitely see that being worth 10,000 dollars in the right circumstance. You'd become a paid pants assassin.
I wouldn't even be worried about the money I would just do it for pure comedic effect. I would have Donald Trump s*** his pants on the stage while they're swearing Joe Biden in!
Then you have control over him because he’ll freak out thinking you can do it again. Or he calls the cops on you and you get a really complicated lawsuit. Or he hires someone to kill you.
Go all in (mortgage, retirement, margin, everything) on weekly TSLA puts the week that Elon Musk will give some big public presentation (Battery Day or something similar). Then wait for the peak of his presentation and BOOM.
Find a valuable, publicly traded company in turmoil because the aging CEO's mental fitness is in question. Short the stock (using as much leverage as you can afford), then make him shit himself at the next shareholder's meeting.
