I'm on the fence. On the one hand it would be really cool to be on this list. On the other hand Dan Bilzerian...

    Who even is this human. I kinda dont wanna look up who he is because I'll just shit up an algorithm and end up bombarded with rightwing slop.

    I assume with Thunberg being second in the list, and in the middle photo that he is the person on the leftmost photo? To be honest I really am only familiar with 2, 4, 8, 10 on this list.

    his dad stole a bunch of money from people and went "bankrupt" then his large adult son, Dan, made some shady investments that made him extremely rich overnight, to the tune of about how much money his father stole.

    then he started being an e-celeb investment guy.

    but my favorite accomplishment of Dan's was giving 5 million to antoine fuqua in exchange for being in The Equalizer movie. his part is about 10 seconds, no lines, never really get a good look at him either, so its hard to even tell. and then denzel washington stabs him in the neck with a tree pruner in the dark and he dies, still can't see his face very well there either. its the kind of thing you could rewind over and over and people would say, "i dunno, is that really him" it's such a shitty part that he paid MILLIONS to get.

    absolutely hilarious stuff.

    Thank you for replying with some info. He sounds about like every other right wing tech bro grifter fragile ego type of guy I hear about.

    I'm not missing shit by not being familiar with his accomplishments, is what I'm understanding here.

    100%. i am not sure how i even learned anything about this bozo. i think it was some kind of "check out this idiot" video, and the only reason it caught my attention was because it referenced The Equalizer, which is my favorite kind of slop movie. having watched it an embarassing number of times, i was like, "he was in that?". definitely hadn't even seen his name/face since i learned about him. funny that he's #1 on any list, but if i had to lay odds my guess is he's a true antisemite and not a maligned antizionist.

    Shady investments? Dude says he became a millionaire playing POKER. Even easier to launder money that way. And he started being an e-celeb as a “sigma poker millionaire”.

    yeah that's right. i couldn't remember that part, but it was so obviously BS. the only other thing i remember is when he was trying to launch his "brand" he would film himself laying in bed in some rented mansion with two women he hired to lay in bed next to him for his videos about how cool his life was.

    just comically lame shit to do.
