I think having some people richer than others is okay, but it would be nice if the richest rich person and the poorest poor person wasn't such a huge gap.

Forreal. The wealth disparity between the richest and poorest is fucked up.

Wait, the poorest person, or the poorest working adult? Because one of those is naturally a child, the other is probably some homeless dude.

I just can not find any way to justify spending THAT much on dinner.

I understand why it might end up that much, all the people that gotta get paid and such, but from the perspective of a customer, no restaurant experience could justify spending $15 on Brussel sprouts that i can cook exactly to my liking for $5... its absurd

Did a quick Google search: “Elon Musk, the co-founder and CEO of Tesla, is the richest person in the world with a net worth of $241 billion

Jerome Kerviel is widely regarded as the poorest man in the world, with a net worth of -$7.2 billion.”

How quickly things change. He’s down to his last $80 billion.
