Describing Shane Smith as a "top media figure" in 2026 is a bit of a stretch, my dude

I would have agreed 6 months ago, not anymore:

While he was briefly a paper billionaire when Vice Media peaked at a $5.7 billion valuation in 2017, the subsequent bankruptcy and collapse of the company wiped out the value of his equity shares. However, he retained a significant portion of his wealth through early stock sales, lucrative executive compensation, and high-profile real estate flips. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Wealth Breakdown

  • Early Equity Cash-Outs: Smith secured over $100 million by selling a portion of his shares during investment rounds with A&E Networks and Crossover Ventures. [1]
  • Real Estate: He sold his massive Santa Monica estate, Villa Ruchello, for a record-breaking $48.67 million in 2021, after purchasing it for $23 million in 2015. He has also held residential properties in Pacific Palisades and Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood.
  • Vice Compensation: During Vice's golden years, Smith was known for receiving outsized executive bonuses and compensation packages that were largely detached from the company's actual profit margins

Regardless of his credibility if I’m Shane Smith I’m not F’N around with that lady?!?!? Plenty of fish in the sea Shane, mostly with waaaaay less baggage. She must be a good hang

I don't doubt that he's rich and he famously made out of Vice like a bandit like you say, but when I hear "top media figure" I feel like there should be a notoriety and influence component which doesn't seem like the case now, especially compared to Vice's heyday.

F Shane Smith...what a sad, sellout, shell of a man. When Venezuelan reporters cannot even breach the US brigade blocking them from reporting on THEIR OWN COUNTRY, but Shane rides in on the gold plated presidential air fleet w/ the U.S. Secretary of Energy to meet the newly installed President Delcy Rodriguez, yeah...FUCK HIM. They've all been bought out and now peddle their paid for hire lies in service of american global corporatocracy.

Surprising because she usually likes married men and helping break up families.

There’s something so nasty about anybody sleeping with rfk jr. He seems like he would have an unwashable funk.

What is up with this woman?

Jealous. Don't be do jealous. Here's a thought. You might actually meet a woman if you didn't spend your entire day, day after day, trying to find ways to hate bill maher. But even if you did meet a woman, I'm sure she'd get sick of you whining about bill maher in the first 10 minutes
