Hey man it was me that took my dad’s $6m loan. It was also me that showed up to the interview with the bank manager he set up who is also a close friend of his. And it was me that signed the papers.
I worked my ass off to get to where I am today. None of which would have been possible without all the hard work I had to do! What a risk I took!
So yeah, self made millionaires totally exist! I’m living proof.
Unless you printed the money yourself you're not "self made" you got your money from other people. To get that money you depended on a society that is wealthy enough and connected enough to be capable of giving you millions of dollars in exchange for whatever you're selling. Most of that capacity, both in baseline social wealth (health, education, and stability) is paid for through taxes. TAX THE RICH UNTIL THEY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.
They’re talking kind of three months in the summer and two to three weeks in the winter for skiing.
To drop 32 million on a house (which is mind bogglingly in and of itself) and only spend three months in it? Motherfuckers out there with way too much goddamn money. That's ridiculous.
Yup. $39.5 mil when you include they purchased the lot next door too.
Never mind the fact the gov't didn't include Whistler in the new foreign ownership rules. 😠
Worked myself to exhaustion to survive for about 15 years now. I've probably earned around a hundredth of that value.
I'm sure they've worked as hard as I've worked for about 1500 years. Or worked a hundred times harder every day in order to buy this house.
Man, rich people work really hard! I must be so fucking stupid and lazy.
I know your joking but in case people don’t get it: rich comes from luck, not from hard work.
Don’t work any harder than you have to, thinking it helps. It doesn’t change the statistical chance of you becoming rich.
Many people will say you can help along the luck. Those people are dumb.
It would take 2200 years with my father's current salary to make up that amount
There is no such thing as “self made”…
