@@Karlach_it’s not only boredom. It’s a total lack of ethics and morality. Allowing billions to die of suffering as a direct flip side of your choice to indulge rather than to help them. It’s utterly ridiculous. I pray I never get so totally messed up.

@@patinho5589 Some of the world's problems aren't easily fixable by throwing money at them. It's certainly not as simple as "these people suffer because this guy bought a yacht". If you could just throw money at dirty water issues and fix it, it would have been fixed ages ago.

@@Joenzinator but not trying with the money you have is still a crime. Time, energy and money. Mainly energy. Money can pay for some energy to be spent. There is a lot you can do with money. But prayer is required for some of the bigger problems such as North Korea. Concerted joint prayer. 80,000 people in a stadium doing dynamic prayer for one hour.

@@lloydwoodward9053 I only make $50k a year, but my friends talked me into spending the extra $300 to do the VIP version of Universal Studios Hollywood. Literally jogging past everyone standing in hour long lines and walking straight on to every attraction was a spectacular, *thrilling* experience. I'm never going back to regular admission, NEVER. I'll happily pay a huge premium to have a once-in-a-lifetime delightful memory and economize elsewhere.

One may argue that in the days of Rockefeller and Carnegie and other Barons of industry, in comparison to the working poor living in packed tenements and working in dangerous factories making a nickel an hour, the wealth gap was actually worse. But the differences are for one that today there are more elite wealthy because of a bigger global market and because of the technology boom, and also they are more in the public eye because of modern media.

The wealth gap has increased, but the floor has also increased significantly. Global wealth has grown for all income classes. It's also not very hard for an upper-middle family to become ultra-rich, but it takes time (a lot of time). If a family can invest $20,000/year in the S&P500 (and increase that investment at the rate of inflation) it would take about 71 years to get your first billion. The problem is that it takes a couple generations, and also most people wouldn't want to live like that. Most people will retire after they hit about $5million, and when they give the rest to their children, their kids will spend it. It takes a tremendous amount of discipline to keep working hard and investing when you have already accrued enough money to live in relative luxury.

@Joenzinator The floor has definitely increased, and global poverty has been greatly reduced, even from when I was born less than 30 years ago, for which I'm grateful. I definitely wouldn't agree that it's easy for the upper-middle class (top few percent of income in my country) to become ultra-rich (top 0.001%). Mathematically, it just doesn't compute, with such growth requiring a lot of assumptions about market stability and returns.

@@jacobbernard1393 It doesn't really require a lot of assumptions. If you look at any 25-year period, the annualized returns are between 9% and 17% returns. I picked 12% for my calculations, but if it was 10% it would just take a few more years. And my point was that in your lifetime, you probably won't be a billionaire. But it would be possible to make your grandchildren billionaires without doing anything extraordinary.

@@Joenzinator Okay, that's a clearer point; the intergenerational impact of wealth is pretty astonishing, no doubt. My parents were destitute for much of my life, but within a single generation, I've managed to claw into the upper-middle class due to smart decisions, hard work, and most importantly, luck. It does interest me to consider how well my grandchildren could potentially live, as my family's future wealth cascades into their inheritances.

@@jdrancho1864 thats.... still not the point. My comment is about how most people just can't parse how obscenely wealthy these people are when they can treat $80,000 the same way other people treat the $40 price tag for parking at a concert or festival.

@@nordiskkatt i have only flown on a plane one time, ever. And i literally can only do so if i use those shifty small puddle jumper tickets and get off midway, buying a ticket from say, new york to la to get off somewhere in the middel

why was it so bad?

@@faustinpippin9208 Seeing the rich spend more than your entire life's salary as if they're buying a loaf of bread is depressing.

And unless you are paid directly for your service you never get a cut of that money. When I was doing HVAC work in NYC I Damm well made sure to get part of those huge fees paid to the maintenance company I worked for. Eventually I was billing out about 50% of the ticket on jobs and the boss eventually was like "we need to put you on an hourly salary" I was like NOPE and left the next day!! I head from the dispatcher a while later the next 3 low wage techs he got were terrbile and the last one was driving the work van drunk and crashed it into a bus stop shelter and a line of parked cars then fled the scene, he later told the police and boss the van was stolen even though the keys were inside and his face was all smashed up like he was in a car accident! 😂

Lot ferries are big business. Many sponsor race cars. That is how I found out. I looked up one of the sponsors.

I'm still trying to figure out *why* they exist. Why do people have their boats shipped across the ocean instead of just having a skeleton crew sail it across under its own power? Is it faster? Is it to avoid the downtime from the wear and tear that a transoceanic crossing would normally cause? It can't possibly be cheaper, can it?

@@scjones25 Many of the yachts small enough to be shipped aren't deep-water capable. Plus you can give your crews the downtime and just fly them out to meet the yacht and get it ready before the owner gets there.

@@scjones25 Alot of the smaller yachts don't have the 3500 nautical range to cross to Atlantic, yachts over 50-60m would be okay i guess. Plus as you mentioned it cuts down on wear and tear and gives the crew a break as you only need a skeleton crew for the crossing. Plus you will save tens of thousands of $$$ in diesel. Whether it's cheaper or not not i'm not sure, but if you are a multi millionaire i don't think the money is a problem

The problem is that these rich people feel that they fail to reach the next level in wealth. Buying another art piece at 3 Million $ is something they already have accomplished. Buying one for 5 Million $ is not the next level. So to find satisfaction they spend their lifetimes to make even greater profits. Because a 30 Million $ artpiece is certainly more unique than one at 3-5 Million $.

Why on earth would u want cats running around the place 😂😂😂, just get rid of the rats yourself, a few traps, some poison and an airgun is all u need U could always call a pest exterminator too if u got the cash to lose Ppl be thinking they need to live in a jungle to be free of rats 😂😂😂

This happened on the island I live on in the Outer Banks. They even think the town released coyotes to kill the cats, which caused a rat explosion in 3-10 million dollar second homes.

@@Mcbignuts I don't think you understand how hard it is to exterminate rats in homes that have no one living in them, much less exterminating them from an entire city/region. It really does take a natural predator that operates and reproduces of it's own accord to hunt and kill pest infestations that cover such large areas. The people with those huge second homes are also usually busy people, or people that are more likely to not take calls about problems with their second home seriously until they want to go use it and find out first hand that they should've taken the warnings more seriously back when the issue was manageable/first noticed.

Yeah feral cats don’t seem so bad now

'Grotesque' is right - I had no idea how disgusted I would be just to look at this degree of extravagance depicted on a map.

What an excellent choice of words.

If you are from the west, you most likely live unsustainably too. Sure they are much worse, but you are not that better, especially considering there are much more of your kind.

I read about a person working on one of those yachts describing how they would prepare large amounts of luxurious breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, and then also throw it all away everyday beacuse the owner was never there. We are talking basically everyday all year every year, what a fucking waste.

Exactly!

Truly amazing how's there never money for raising wages even a little bit, but there's always money to buy $100 million super yachts and $50 million private jets.

@@ganjabobby I know, I took general billionaire "averages."

@@ganjabobby exactly!!

The salaries aren’t matching the living costs. The more you make, the more they take. So I’m confused how these people even get here…

@@Ashley-il9wk Tax evasion. Check out the high-art market. People don't buy pieces of art for 40 000 000$+ just to look at it, or even brag to richer friends that they're richer, but to get them appraised too high, donate them to museums and enjoy a fat tax cut. Then, they use a fraction of that net profit to lobby so the laws that let them do it don't get stricken from the books, and so the people who are supposed to check the appraisals stay undefunded and overbooked. It's a net positive even after the lobbying and fines, so you can make tons of money without contributing to society by doing any useful work or even paying your fair share of taxes. And that's just ONE of the many means they use to not pay taxes. Do that enough times for enough cash, and you can subsidize your exhuberant lifestyle with poor people's tax money since you still benefit from public and subsidized infrastructure like water, sewers, electricity, internet, roads, ports and airports (among many others) without contributing for any of it.

While i understand the concept that since some boats aren't capable of crossing the ocean on their own power, the idea of a ship carrying other ocean worthy boats is still hilarious. Its just I'm used to the 20ft range of boats being considered unworthy of the open ocean, not something called a super yacht being unworthy of the ocean.

@@jasonreed7522 A lot of these yachts are also way bigger than the wooden ships with sails that crossed the ocean hundreds of years ago. Part of it is probably cost since you would have to pay for a crew and fuel to go across, plus I'm not sure how sturdy some of the fittings inside the yacht are. All their stuff might get tossed in 9ft seas and it would cost even more to repair everything. Still it's like they have a yacht, but they never actually sail on them. They are just expensive buildings on the water that they can show off.

@@jasonreed7522 I've been working on large cargo ships for a little over 10 years now as a navigator. Ocean storms can get gnarly even for large cargo ships and it's not uncommon to change routes for bad storms. But as "Jason S" said, it's probably more about the cost. Large ships burn less fuel per ton-mile compared to smaller boats, so a large ship carrying yachts will burn less fuel than all the yachts all sailing on their own. Also, they probably save on the cost of manning the voyage and insurance for the crew.

Wouldn't want any of that money accidentally trickling out to the common folk

I know (well, knew) two people in Croatia. Digitally only, as, I live in the U.S. They both disappeared during this entire RUS v UKR thing. They were dirt poor. 😕 Very interesting how the rich must live. Sounds extremely wasteful, just as I'd imagined.

Social hierarchy-wise "premium economy" is a sugar coated way of saying "booster seats for peasants"

Economy class makes the airlines very little money. It's the business and first-class that they earn the majority of their profits. Because each plane can't fill up just with business/first-class customers, that's why economy exists: to fill up the rest of the plane.

I once seen cabin crews block economy Passengers from leaving the aircraft before the business and first class. Damn I felt like economy peasants

@@FKS1994 unless you fly with Ryanair or other ultra low budget lines. they do go for economie only. they do often succeed in filling the seats to 80% and higher. and often can use 1 aircraft about 3 to 5 flights every day.

@@sirBrouwer I work for an aircraft company and most planes that around around the size of a 737 only have economy and maybe 6 business class seats

You may be joking but that literally is the pinnacle of our evolution and it's a sad farce.

More like sail the shores or rivers. These boats aren't great for the sea at large or oceans. They can sail quite easily if the waters are calm but they don't stay too calm for long and going too far into the sea will be risky. Storms will be worse the farther you go from the shore. That being said....this is exaggerated.

You do not drive your Supercar thousands of miles, you get it transported and collect it when you land, same thing.

Super yacht owners dont travel on their yachts. They have them travel to a place they want to take a vacation at then fly there. See the eSysman Superyachts RU-vid channel. It’s an eye opener!

Oh yeah. I worked for the census one year and was shocked to find rural McMansions no more than a mile or two from where I had lived much of my life.

Typical mansions north of San Francisco are on the order of $100M+ . There's no benefit for wealthy to flaunt their wealth, usually only downside. Ordinary people have no clue what "rich" really means and how life changing it really is as they work for their week-to-week paychecks. It's obscene.

Not to say that the guy wasn’t rich… but the super rich are laughing at that amount.

@@Weromano lol nah theyre asking "are you serious? 💀"

8 million isn't anywhere near the ultra rich, but I guess it depends on location. Certain houses along the West Coast can go easily go for $10 mil. I lived in an area where 1000+ Sq ft. houses were rarely under $1 mil, and there's even an active asking for a 3-story 3,500 Sq ft. for $10 mil.

And they’ll replace us with someone who will work for less first chance they can get

Both of them were using the show to make contacts because they wanted to become supercar salesmen. We met an old American guy who had sold cars to Hollywood stars of the past, so we hung out with him for a lot of the day.

@Spin Lock No. I speak well , was well dressed in a casual, Summer in the Mediterranean way and was wearing my gold Omega watch I inherited. People didn't know I wasn't rich. The assumption, at party like that, especially when you're with outrageously beautiful models, is you are.

Money means everything to them. It's the rest of the world, the community, and all other life that means nothing to them.

Well, you can look at this 2 ways: 1. They have enough money where they can do anything with ease. They can do anything without every running out of money. 2. They always want to accumulate more money. It doesn't matter how much they have. They always want more.

@@jer103 imagine if we just did away with the value of money and made our communities dependent on work and cooperation rather than paper? These people would become powerless overnight. Those with good work ethic and good morals would naturally rise up the ladder of hierarchy and those who lack integrity and good works would plummet to the bottom. What makes the world go round is work, not money. These corporate elites just bamboozled everyone into doing the work for them while they sit back and reap the rewards.

Of course we'll be doing this all by hand because if we were to use tools that'd be less work!

@@amyrenee1361 money exists to simplify the barter economy (which is the closest i know of to what you are describing). Instead of trying to equate how many buildings designed to apples grown we invented money backed by its intrinsic value (gold, silver, electrum, copper, gems, shells, salt pucks, coco, ect.) Kings would eventually start minting coins which had a standard mass of a given material which was the first currency but was heavy and inconvenient. And then banks became a thing and made paper notes that could be traded for gold stored in said bank by whoever holds the note and this bank note system evolved into paper money. And now we live in the age of digital banking where gold can sit in a handful of banks vaults and through secure communications its ownership can be dynamically changed without even bothering to physically move the gold while electronically adjusting account balances. This isn't meant to excuse the flaws with money as a concept, just point out that its useful to everyone even if some people exploit it to get away with awful things. Edit: and now money isn't backed by physical objects and instead runs on trust/belief that it has any value greater than the linin its printed on. (Paper money isn't technically made of paper)

It's not that I'm saying anyone is a bad person because of their behavior. But I'm saying both, average income individuals and high net worth individuals, don't care about the (ecological) price for what they want to achieve: Being liked and, or successful. What does upset me is that most only blame people with lots of money, and pretend to not be part of the problem at all. Same goes for those multi billionaires who tell us to not go on vacations but own multiple jets lol. Just that the UHNWIs don't voice it as aggressively (msot of the time) Of course not everyone is like that in neither income bracket though, and I think the only way to move to the future is to work together instead of against each other - regardless of income (and most other differences ofc)

If you took all the US billionaires money it would run the US government for 8 months. Perhaps it's not the very successful who we should have a problem with but a government who put us 31 trillion dollars in debt by spending our money like drunken sailors. Hundreds of billions of which isn't even spent here at home every year.

In 15 minutes actually.

I’m never taking a bus

exactly

Apparently the ultra-rich are also ultra stingy a lot of times. They will fight you if they feel like you’re charging them even a single dollar extra

@@Bundpataka also tips 😭

@@Bundpataka Yup. Once shared a taxi with one of them and he asked the driver for 30 cents back instead of rounding the tip of to the nearest dollar. His housemaid also called him “cheap.”

Yeah but be prepared to have nerves of steel and extreme patience as these billionaires are also incredibly demanding massive a-holes. If you ever worked any job with customers, be it a shop clerk, customer support agent or whatever else, than you will know just how bad regular people are as customers. Now multiply that by like a million to see how incredibly awful it is to have a billionaire as your customer. Now do that non stop. So yeah much easier said than done but if you do manage to do it than yeah you can rake in the big bucks squeezing money out of people who literally grow it on trees.

The Russian Tsars had a lot of money and palaces too before the People rose up...

This is publicly available information.

@@zaco-km3su Sure, but this is specifically easy to aquire publicly available information.

I'm sorry but this video is terrible. I have met many, many ultra wealthy individuals. Like he said at the beginning of the video, it's all privatized. Some ultra wealthy don't like to travel that much. There is no "standardized" way for these people to travel and all the destinations he listed are not even a fraction of the places these people travel to. These people have so much money they literally do anything they want. Some like to travel like this. Many don't.

i dont

I didnt think that

The perfect ship to “accidently” sink

Wait until you hear about all the giant container ships that make the journey from China to America that are loaded from top to bottom with cheap, disposable crap that nobody needs.

The yacht carrier takes many yachts in one trip. It would be worse for the environment, if you are worried about such things, to have them all sail across separately.

@@ah244895 no it’s not even the just environment. I don’t understand how you could spend hundreds of millions, if not billions, on a SEAFARING vessel that does not fare well in seas lol There are multiple layers of retardation at work here…

Now you get it

You see you have cracked the code my friend

Trains gotta make a comeback in america...

Every little bit counts

They want you riding a bike or using an electric car because they need all the "dirty energy" for themselves. They don't want to "save the planet"

They all get the wall.

There's no "ultra rich". There's only rich. If you don't have over $700 million, you're not rich. You are wealthy if you have $30 million.

@@zaco-km3su Disagree. When you have so much money you can blow a billion dollars every day and probably not see your net worth decrease you're on a different plane of existence.

@@Praisethesunson : The billionaires own the wall, the guns, and the blindfolds. They'll rent them to you for a reasonable fee.

@@deusexaethera Capitalists will sell us the rope we use to hang them.

Someone with $1 billion net worth spending $2600/night on a hotel room is equivalent to the median American ($121,700 net worth) spending $0.32/night!

$0.26 to $0.026 depending on the country

Oh, don't worry, were definitely not living in the second gilded age. Current wealth inequality is actually much, much worse than that. :)

Except that when the shit hits the fan again, the rich stay rich, because they have learned from their mistakes. There will be no equalizers anymore unless they are bloody ones.

Try $0.26.

Trillions of dollars were transferred up during the "pandemic" response just in America alone.

Same, from Sxm and it’s fun to see. I remember seeing Trump in the 2000’s too 😅.

For I passed on to you, as of first importance, the account I had received, that Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures foretold, that he was buried, that on the third day he was raised from the dead, as the Scriptures foretold 1 Corinthians 15

This is what I call nominal inequality. When you can buy/sell a piece of crap for $44,000 a month, it still remains a piece of crap.

@@clray123 yes exactly. If this space was in Blackwater Oklahoma it would be $400 a month. Even if its not right I understand that in a major city rents are higher but not $44,000 higher.

@@thewatchersofthewood3530 it’s not like they charge more money because it’s new york and new york is a nice city. That commercial space in New York will generate 100 times more revenue than the same one in Oklahoma (if not more). If they really were the same, everyone would just rather open their business in Oklahoma

That's called New York syndrome where flooded old rat infested crime ridden tiny spaces go for big money because "NYC BABY!"

While this lifestyle certainly has very high _per capita_ carbon emissions there are a lot more people that have personal vehicles. Additionally most people who have a personal vehicle would likely opt not to if alternatives were sufficiently convenient, right now they're all but forced to own a car. These "ultra-high net worth individuals" could do basically anything they want with their time and this is what they're freely choosing to do. So dealing with the car ownership problem just means giving people a better option while dealing with the jetsetting problem means taking away people's option to do it. I'm personally not opposed to that but I think you can see why it's politically inconvenient.

@@VitalVampyr I love the ignorance.

My car gets 32mpg and these planes burn how many thousands of pounds of fuel for trips that could be handed by s Zoom call?!?! 😂

The description of Bezo’s plane trips and the purposes was amazing because it really drove the point home that he’s using these just like normal families use a car for the husband and a car for the wife!

They need to quickly fly to conferences to tell us plebs why we're bad people for eating meat or driving for a living. You see, it's more important that they use those jets because their lectures are literally saving the planet, or something
