SENTOSA COVE Insider Tour🏖️ Visiting a Landed House, Condo and Yacht 

Lol, what privilege? Everyone who is successful worked for what they have. There's no luck or privilege, it's blood, sweat, tears and smarts.

@@edenassos you shouldn't discredit others who don't have the opportunity to move up in society. Unless you're born with a silver spoon, growing your wealth in Singapore these days requires a lot of resources, connections and luck. That's just how it is. I don't deny that to be successful, you need to put in the time and effort but the factors I've mentioned do play a big part in moving up your social status, which there are many households simply can't achieve that within their lifetime.

@@edenassos Hard work alone earns you millions at most Hard work + good luck and timing earns you billions You don’t get to a billion dollars through just “hard work”, you also have to be at the right place and at the right time, selling the right product that everyone wants to pay for at that particular moment in time. Or, you could just be born into a billionaire household. To own property in Sentosa Cove and a yacht in Singapore you practically need to be a billionaire, or have at least hundred million dollars in liquidity. The owner of those property in the video definitely isn’t just a hard worker alone.

@@alexs_33 There are opportunities out there for anyone to grab on to, countless amounts of problems to solve. Money makes it easier, but even billionaires make shitty business decisions. As long as one has a basic formal education and pursues ongoing informal education, it's not out of bounds at all. Most people don't move up the social ranks not because they can't but because they don't have the motivation and they share your thinking so they just give up and work for someone else instead in an office or hard labour. Also, most schools train people to become employees, that's the biggest problem. Most billionaires(excluding old money) end up billionaires because money is not their first priority, solving the problem is.

@@notting2640 Notice I didn't use the term 'hard work' because that's just dumb. I added 'smarts' after 'blood, sweat and tears'. It's nothing new for people to discount success' major factor as luck, and hence they think if they don't succeed, it's because they're "unlucky". That's just a damaging mentality and a significant part of why poverty and class stagnation is rampant today. I don't think Thomas Edison was sitting and hoping for luck to get the lightbulb working. Timing is definitely a thing, but when you have a good product, you will be rewarded in more than just money if not now, then a year or even a decade later yet most people don't even take the first step. I'm a businessman and VC and when I meet someone, I ask them questions to see if they'd want to turn an idea into reality(since I'm busy with other ventures and can't stretch myself that thin), how it works is I'd provide the idea and the technical steps on how to achieve it along with the funding, and 9/10 of people end up saying no. Most people just want to stay in their comfort zone. Take Singapore for an example, Singaporeans don't have a culture of experimentation(a lot of it definitely has to do with how most things are illegal) and not many people seek to become entrepreneurs. This needs to be changed. Anyway it will become an autobiography if I continue so I will stop here.

What you smoking !

why envy, this seem like a norm in the states ? dont need a yacht to enjoy the sea

@@sdqsdq6274 yes, virtually every family with 100K yearly income can afford these in the southern area of America.

Well said...

tats deep,ngl

Eh plenty of people live in HDBs and don't interact with neighbors. Plenty of rich people live in landed houses and make friends with their neighbors. It really depends. Whatever makes you happy. :)

​@@paperknit You actually got a point there. It ain't just with HDB, been to ghetto district with attempts to connect with residents, and believe it not, to some holding onto 'Face value and state of being a bigshot is utmost important thing. One do not speaks for all, all do not speak for one, there are those living in landed houses/HDB going round interacting with everyone because of their abundance and confidence mindset. We cant call everyone high ego, haolian, kiasu, kiasi behavior like they said. Maybe back where I was from, rich live with highly scarcity mentality

drink so much , short lived life

Lol, seems to be it. He said cost is tens of millions without giving an exact figure. A more specific amount is around $30 million. Also, to the other comment about wine collection, they don't actually drink all the wine in their collections. A collector usually buys stuff and keep or store them and appreciate them. And in time may sell or trade them with fellow collectors etc or open them to drink. I'm a toy collector and more than 90% of the toys I bought are still sealed in their box. I just appreciate them and appreciate having them, i.e. aka I'm a hoarder. Haha...

Yes u are right to say that, he is probably the owner

woh really? thanks for the info

I guess it could be viewed as some kind of investment to the local govenment. This applies to many countries as well, i.e. you invest a certain amount into that country and you'll get some kind of foreign investment priviledge.

Nah… the real Singaporean rich won’t stay in Sentosa. They will live in freehold Bungalows at bukit timah/Holland that are larger and more luxurious. Most Sentosa residents are foreigners who can’t buy landed property on mainland Singapore.

@@eatdriveplayah thanks for the insight

His guest is almost definitely living here on an expat package, rent fully covered by his company

@@eatdriveplay not true. There are many Singaporeans living in Sentosa Cove who also own multiple properties including GCBs.

@@alvinmah6148 have. I also know Singaporeans who own some properties there, but few and mostly bought cheap when it first started 10++ years ago. Many have sold off as they realize 99-years is a put off for many Singaporean. There are better and more private options in the GCB areas.

they closed the metal gate and installed few CCTVs around the entrance. So sad. Guess some rich residents inside must have complained.

Not used to poor people

@@eugenelow999 I think if the dog ever see you it will die instantly because allergic to people who are stupid.

Seemed to be that the dog was taken aback by him 😂

I got the same feeling too wahaha

he dare not say it's him for safety & security reason. hahaha.

Yea, I rather if everybody is equally poor here

Damn

Old men in his 70s bluffing girls he is in his 50s 😂😂😂😂

The other way around. Foreigners can't buy GCBs/good class bungalows. Only condos

東京といえば、田園調布に当たるかな？

can't compare.... it's different lifestyle and league.

Crashed or sunken broke ! Owner probably gonna go bankrupt with bad fengshui 🎉

Yup. Those who don’t have pink IC to buy landed properly.

Maybe not used to visitors

lol it's not a matter of want. It's a matter of CAN

There is no MRT, bus or taxi. All necessary amenities are on the mainland.

@@jessicamong1586 those who stay at sentosa drive their own cars... or chauffeured

@@jessicamong1586 Rich people don't ride any of those shit. When you have money you don't need to go out and buy those stuff. They come to you.

@@jessicamong1586 what mrt ,bus ,taxi, they dont take public transport

I do know a hokkien uncle living in sentosa. But he’s a down to earth person.
