Does anyone else hate this guy?

can you be more specific about your investment history and your age?

>millionaire over 30

Lmao nothing to see here folks.

I dislike him. He also refused his daughter $30,000 for a kitchen renovation when she was pregnant.

He's one of the worst rich people I've ever seen and for his amount of wealth, the top cunt in the rich list.

He donates huge amounts to Gates Foundation so he's cool.

But he should stop shilling drinking that brown swill just because he has stake it in.

i like coke :(

Berkshire Hathaway is enormous and is a major investor, and he personally doesn't store billions under his mattress, that's all invested too. What do you think would benefit the economy more, if he blew $200m on a super yacht or if he invested that money into several firms that use it to expand and in time some of which go on to become multi-billion corporations themselves?

You're whining about someone being very responsible with their money. Want to know how I know you will always be poor and struggling to pay off your debts?

me too, but it's difficult to get shit that isn't stepped on around here

Right so coca cola, walmart, apple and IBM etc are small companies that need his help? He literally just buys safe blue chips.

And the ad hominem is just sad. I am not poor or in debt but if I had billions I would buy all my family everything they ever asked for, including because I'm not a cunt.

>apple
>safe

i have 10k in apple. i did the research and its safe

>not reading Kobe's letter to his younger self.

Bill Gates did build a very effective foundation.

>He donates huge amounts to Gates Foundation so he's cool

No, that just makes him worse and as bad as Bill gates. You can't be that much of a naive normie to think any of these 'charties' are good.

Firstly, real charity is anonymous, otherwise its PUBLICITY. Bill really needed something to redeem himself in the eyes of people who were alive in the 80s and saw how Microsoft operated.

Secondly, charity starts at home. I instantly detest anyone wealthy who instead of helping his immediate neighbors (there's millions to help in America and we all know it) goes off and dumps his money into fucking Bangladesh and other irrelevant shitholes in Africa which are money sinks, they'll never really claw themselves out of poverty because their nation's infrastructure and government and culture just doesn't allow it. Its 100% publicity, tens of millions given to Africa every year for many years and no progress. Look at fucking Oprah, she spent 40 million on a school in Africa among some other shit, what the fuck is the point? Publicity and admiration.

If I were to go full conspiracy I'd say the Gates foundation among others use Africans for drugs testing and other such things in collaboration with big pharma. I'm not that tinfoil but it would not surprise me.

tl;dr Gates and Buffett are massive pieces of shit

Time to take your meds

>Does anyone else hate this guy?
me, fuck that faggot

>but if I had billions I would buy all my family everything they ever asked for

you're being ironic right? you can't really be this stupid.

t. poorfag

It's all marketing. He's greedy as fuck.

t. gullible cuck

>Gates foundation sucks cause gates sucked

God you are stupid.

>I hate people because of their political affiliations
t. SJW

Its bad because of what it actually does, did you fucking read? It gives 'charity' pointlessly to the wrong place. Honestly, did you actually read the post? I mentioned the point pretty clearly. It helps to have reading comprehension on a site which is 90%+ text.

>He literally just buys safe blue chips
... Well yeah.
Go much smaller, and it makes more sense to just buy the company.
Go smaller than that, and it's not worth his firm's time.

Lol, I wouldn't claim millionaire status if I was over 30. That's cringeworthy as fuck to me. You can't take that money with you to the grave.

>God you are stupid.
delete your account

making money is just his hobby and it is his god given right as an american to keep on obtaining vast sums of capital for no reason

if you had 0.1% of his money and you would be set for life, I'm sure that fills you with envy and jealousy, but it is none of your dang business, son

I like him. His humility seems genuine to me. He kind of gives off this vibe of morality and nobility, like he just doesn't belong in the modern world.

>he doesn't even know how to greentext properly
Never tweet.

It's like you get up every day and tend to your apple tree. You water it. You fertilize it. You protect it from insects.

And then eventually that apple tree bears dozens of beautiful apples. perhaps the best apples available.

And then you stack those apples up and look at them. And tell the world about how great the apples are. But you don't eat them.

Buffet is deluded.

He has a net worth of 63.3 billion. who the fuck needs that many apples?

Are you guys 12? what you want that 80 year old to do? buy a Lamborghini and buy a mansion so big he doesnt need? Most billionaires (mark, bill, him) realize their is more to life than that.

The only thing absurd is not giving any of that $ to your kids.

Are you retarded? You literally just add a ">" and you still didn't do it properly.

Because if he had this "muh spend all the money I wana b Dan Blitzerian" attitude he wouldn't be rich in the first place.

>dad i fucked up in life by having a baby before a stable savings!
>waaaah what do you mean you won't help???

Needing your parents after 20 is LITERALLY embarrasing, and you should probably just donate and suicide.

most people think he is some kind of genious. in fact if you take the likes of him perspectively to population you would find the same ration of filthy rich as in a lottery distribution.

People make post hoc arguments to rationalise success much like people try to explain their sport bets ..after the game

none can forecast. the cosmos is far too complex. its all about luck

>being a loathsome human being to your kids

Why is this considered some kind of badge of honour here?

>What's the point of being a billionaire if you don't even spend any of it.

I am not rich but I do know people who have sold their company for a billion dollars, and this sort of thing.

People not born to great wealth, who think a lot about spending money - don't become billionaires.

People who are obsessed with whatever - looking at company balance sheets (Buffett) or microcomputers (Bill Gates) or relational databases (Ellison) or putting terminals on investment bank desks (Bloomberg) or making the Internet searchable (Page) and so forth - don't make a lot of money.

Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg love work. So does Buffett. That's why they're rich.

Also they love work that makes money. Some people love acting and make SAG minimum all their life.

People who think "I want to get rich and spend money" generally don't get rich

There's a web page called Rich Kids of Instagram. Where's Rich entrepreneurs of Instagram? The kids spend the money. The parents divorced, one reason usually being the father spends all his time at work and little with the family. Daddy is not around but he gives money to the kid. The heirs are who does conspicuous consumption, not the earner.

If you've been smart with money, teach your kids to be the same. My grandparents put away $1k in a trust fund for me when I was born. I cashed it at 19, and immediately invested it, as my mother taught me to do. I'm not a millionaire yet, cause my mother was fucking retarded, but i'll probably be able to retire in 15 years at 45 with well over 6 million.

you are seriously fucking dumb, go back to /pol/.

He's your typical limousine liberal embarrassed by their own success

People care way more about social acceptance than material possessions

>Diseases being eradicated completely is a bad thing because I personally don't like Bill gates wahhhhhhh

A proper father supports his daughter through most things, except being a massive drug-taking slut, which she was not.

Having a net worth at the time of multiple billions and refusing to give his daughter, who's about to bear a child, a kitchen extension/renovation a measly $30k is stingy and disgusting.

How autistic are you? Are you the kind of aspie who'll ask his kids to repay what was spent in raising them? Your kind are fucking barely human. There is no excuse for that level of absolute disgusting jewery, to be worth tens of billions and not give $30k for home improvements to your daughter and future grandchild.

Very compelling argument, you most certainly made me think.

>>Diseases being eradicated
>being this much of a naive child

Are you sure you're old enough to be here? I don't give a tenth of a fuck if some niggers in Malawi are feeling sick when I have tens of millions to spare and can see there's people in my own nation in crippling poverty. You're a dumb emotional cuck who fell for the publicity stunt. You have no idea what's even happening in Africa apart from old cliches from the 90s which have just been re-used this whole time.

>Moboktu doesn't have clean drinking water, pls gib $3 a month to help Moboktu and his tribe build a water pump

Over and over. You have your own niggers to take care of first.

REALLY

because some arbitrary distance from you means that some people should be helped before others, right?

makes so much sense

Your society < Some society that hasn't given you anything

>>>

Wew, there's too many unique anonymous posters for it to be legit. Ever since moot sold out this board, goddamn

>because some arbitrary distance from you means that some people should be helped before others, right?

You cannot be this fucking dumb. My neighbor, someone in my own community or fucking country at least comes before someone I'll never meet 7000 miles away. Has the common sense part of your brain not yet developed?

I doubt that's why he does it. It's not the money that excites him, it's the reward he gets from going into the office every morning and knowing that everyone else around him works at his pleasure, and that he is the ultimate provider for tens of thousands of families supported by his employees.

Think about that; what could be more rewarding than providing the capital for those around you to survive and thrive? That's one of the most noble things you can do in this day & age.

The dude took tons of undervalued, bloated and unprofitable businesses that were struggling to survive, and he built a management system for those businesses to allow them to reboot, rebuild and thrive, saving thousands of jobs and ensuring the livelihood of countless thousands of families.

Nah, that's bullshit.

Don't get me wrong; there are investors who definitely do that, but Buffett isn't one of them. Buffett owns businesses; he provides jobs for thousands, and the livelihood for thousands more who rely on his employees for their survival.

Sure, he's personally frugal. But he donates to charity, ensures the long-term survival of the businesses he owns, and has made his fortune by building profitable ventures that provide real products and services, not just shell-gaming funds or playing with OPM.

He's not perfect; nobody is. However, he's certainly better than most institutional investors, and his focus in all his businesses is their long-term viability, not his ability to squeeze a couple bucks out of them before he off-loads them.

did you even listen to what he was saying? jesus youre stupid

he has 60billion dollars. he could eliminate poverty in an afternoon if he gave a shit about other people

This.

He may be doing some good.

But IMO real good is spending the money right back into the hands of the people. Particularly the people who need it most.

I just started making good money this year and I tip the fuck out of everyone.

He didn't want to turn them into obnoxious brats because he's wise enough to realize that is what would have happened. They have developed their own character and morals now instead, and I believe they're happy for that.

If Apple would pay US taxes on the money they hide overseas they could eliminate poverty in an afternoon.

Read Dark Star Safari by Paul Theroux if you want to see the result of 50+ years of charitable aid organizations setting up shop in Africa. Also, really good travel book.

>Fuck my kids they ruined my life
Ladies and Gentelmen the American mentality. This is why they have over 60% divorce rate and highest drug consumption per capita. Your job as a parent is to ensure your kids well being even when they're financially stable you'll still help them because if you let them fail and fuck up in life then that's your fault. Obviously you're 12 and still jerk off to magazine catalogs because mommy banned porn.

>waahhh wahh I'm not a millionare because mommy fucked up in life
>wah wahhh
I can tell you're pretty much hated by everyone around you and you probably think they like you. You blamed your parents for not being millionare. Fuckign typical Veeky Forums poster. I want my jack mentality.

Why is that cringe worthy?

>60% divorce rate
this is wrong it's near 30 now don't use decades old data to ramble on about nothing post disregarded

Its actually 50%. The number goes up for marriages after your first.

Keep on believing that. See where it gets you.

Luck is a Product of genius.

Yeah because liquidating his assets to get 60 billion in liquid cash wouldn't crash the value of the companies and stocks he owns or anything, and it wouldn't obliterate the value of the hundreds of thousands invested in said companies.

>Emotional
>Because I like diseases that affect the human species to be eradicated

You're the emotional one here. The people in crippling poverty should die, that's just natural selection. This isn't some third world country with disease everywhere, if you live in poverty and can't climb your way out in a first world civilized country, you are genetically inferior, or at least inferior in some way. Why should I give a fuck about some hobos on the streets who actually live in a first world country? They had a chance.

You also imply diseases in other countries don't have an effect on your own, which is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard, outbreaks occur all the time, the only reason they don't affect you and you don't hear about them is due to government organizations containing them.

Also
>implying i'm a young child
do you feel better, or that your argument is stronger?

>The people in crippling poverty should die, that's just natural selection.
Well that's wrong. But, if people want to help the world they're better off helping in their own neighborhood/country first and letting the effects trickle out.

In reality stopping immigration for 50+ years would do more than any money donated due to how we take the best of these shitty places we actually hurt them out more.

Because by 30 you're basically senile like all the other meanie-weanie grown ups.

Well, he likely also gets mad flow state from doing it. He's among the best in the world in an extremely competitive field. You don't get that way without enjoying the process.
How? giving everyone on earth $10? He's been known to say that he could pay a lot of people a good salary just to paint his portrait all day and it would grow the economy. Guy's a genius in asset allocation and gives loads to charities, yet he hasn't eliminated poverty yet. Trolls gonna troll.

You're right in that respect, the US takes a lot of talent from other countries effectively lowering the production of the country that loses them. But, what can we really do to stop people from moving to better places, if they're determined they'll find a way.

>Firstly, real charity is anonymous
No, it isn't.
What the fuck is even the point of a charity in your opinion?
It's like getting it completely in reverse.
What matters is what it actually accomplishes, who the hell cares whether it gives them publicity.
If it does, so be it. That's a great thing.
And if it inspires other billionaires to donate because it's great publicity, that's even better.

The ONLY thing that matters in a charity is if it actually works and does what it should do.
Because THAT's the damn POINT of a charity.

If those billionaires are really doing it for publicity I don't see a problem at all, and if people start thinking like you, then they might stop donating, which is arguably a bad thing.
So please take your dumb rhetoric somewhere else.

>and can see there's people in my own nation in crippling poverty
And you think helping actual americans, who are richer in the first place (compared to africans) and have greater access to media, wouldn't give him more publicity?
Hell it would probably give him a shot at being president.

>You're a dumb emotional cuck who fell for the publicity stunt.
You're being the dumb emotional cuck here and you don't even understand what you're talking about.

Boomer detected.

>a charity

Let me give you some facts about the real world you little retard.

You're firstly unaware that 'charity' is even a thing and you can only think of charity as an organisation. Charity means to give to the poor you naive fuck. I don't need a middleman organisation playing with funds before they reach the end person. An intelligent person who wants to give money always seeks to find those they can personally reach. That is what I mean when I say 'real charity is anonymous'. One should not gain mass public appreciation from giving to the less fortunate, that's getting publicity off easing their suffering. Real charitable men have silent pride, something an obvious child like you cannot possibly comprehend, being content within yourself knowing you made a difference without literally broadcasting it to the planet.

Its fucking laughable that someone who can't even think of giving to the poor without an organisation middleman, someone who doesn't even know what charity is, is telling ME I don't know what I'm talking about.

>if people start thinking like you, then they might stop donating

This shit right here is why you're an idiot. Appealing to lib feelings hurts actual Americans in need.

>who are richer in the first place

Now this is where you reveal yourself to be a sheltered little cunt who doesn't even know America. There are millions of Americans in crippling poverty due to a vast range of reasons. It would not give him more publicity, as its sought out from sheltered libs like you who don't know America and think the only suffering in the world is in Africa.

If you would rather give money to someone in Africa who you're TOLD is living in poor conditions, who you'll never see, who the (((charity))) will never meet either, who's just a made up person, footage of an African guy assigned a name on a commercial over your neighbor, the guy down the road who's barely eating due to medical bills, you should fucking kill yourself.

Also its still me, router restart.

>that's getting publicity off easing their suffering
and? I do not see the problem.
If people's suffering is eased, it doesn't matter to me at all how good the person who gives that money is.

>If you would rather give money to someone in Africa who you're TOLD
>If you
Stopped right there.
It is not me who I am talking about.
And the B&M Gates Foundation actually has accomplished quite a lot.

You're the one who acts like a child here.
Bill Gates donates money, and that money eases the suffering of people.
That's something objectively good in my book. I don't give a shit about why he is doing it, but he is trying to eradicate diseases in Africa and other places.
Somehow you complain about it because you feel like he is taking money from americans, again, somehow.

He is donating money to good causes, as opposed to not donating at all, not to donating to america.

>Stopped right there.
Never stop reading just there you dork. What if the next line is smart? This is not 1000 pages long.

africa is pretty fucked bro, not in bigger cities but in ghettos around it- yes
giving them a billion USD won't do dick except ensure that local chief or politician/general buys himself a new SUV and bodyguards

> I don't need a middleman organisation playing with funds before they reach the end person
>middleman
You mean middle-women, right? Because this is rich unemployed females job.
Husband is being successful and wife is bored so she starts a charity with her husbands money to get social points whit her peers.

Or ex-SJW-philosophy-language students to travel around shitholes around the globe and take pictures of themselves while getting thick negro dick, social points, and her helping FEELINGS NEEDS met.

Charity organizations are spoiled vaginas foundations that fund African corrupt systems by mismanaging wealth of successful western people.
It's horrendous.

Probably a ponzie scheme and he feels bad about it. Like Madoff.
Or the guy just likes to save money.

30 grand for a kitchen that she won't even use because she is an American and orders or eats out. She is not asking for a 30 grand to start a viable business but 30 grad for a expensive decoration in her home to brag about.
Yeah, I would tell her to go to hell and question my abilities as a parent and when did I fuck up this bad raising this kind of daughter.

As a parent ONLY thing you SHOULD DO IS RAISE them AS BEST YOU CAN.

If they are over 20 they are grown-ass people.
Let them fend for themselves, or if you are all poor then let your kid stay in your place until he gets his own place and can return the costs of living after his 20th birthday.

>A proper father supports his daughter through most things, except being a massive drug-taking slut,which she was not.
Why not support someone capable to make the world better place?

>Never stop reading
I didn't actually, but at that point I realized it was irrelevant.

hes a pretty cool guy who doesnt afraid of anything

He's explained he doesn't want to buy anything. He said something like he could use his fortune to pay a hundred painters to paint pictures of him for the next thousand years, but he doesn't want to.

The more money you spend the less you have. Rich people who buy assests that are constantly deprecated like expensive cars don't get much richer.

>uses those apples to plant more apple trees and grow more apples

How is he more pretentious than billionaires who buy limousines and stay in the top suite.

Do these guys look wealthy? They are the true essence of wealthcore.

Why does Warren Buffet live in a 5 bedroom stucco house in Omaha instead of a castle in France or Beverly Hills?

Why does Ingvar Kamprad still drive a Volvo from the 70's and doesn't have a limousine?

Why did Steve Jobs wear sneakers and fugly jeans paired with a turtleneck?

Because they are wealthy and once you go from rich to wealthy money loses it's "value". You - user - want to buy a Rolex or a fancy suit or a Ferrari, because it tells people about your social status. Once you are wealthy, you don't need objects to show off your wealth. The wealth kinda becomes a burden on you, because you don't know how people will react to you being filthy rich. You can never know whether someone befriends you because of your money or because they are sincere. And it becomes kinda awkward, when you suggest to your friend a 70$ brunch like it would be buying a Big Mac from MickeyD's and they tell you that you live in a different world.

That's the reason why wealth whispers and money talks. When you have just gotten it, it's new and exciting. When you've always had it, it's just a tool to achieve goals in life (and a little burden if your friends don't have as much as you do).

that would allow poorfags like me a chance to invest and get a good deal...

>real charity is anonymous
You can't set up a multibillion dollar organisation and keep it anonymous. Also charities are anything but anonymous. If they want donations they have to have an ezxellr track record of effective usage of money and no corruption.

>if you give it to Americans it's worthwhile but if you give to foreigners it just disappears
I'd assume it's because the US does not have anyone below the IMF defintion of poverty and that Gates does not care about nationality
He's bought many smaller companies, recently he bought our a New York insurance company. And a good number of those companies he bought small and became big.

Buffett looks so happy he has a banjo.

He isn't.

It's just that people paint Buffet out to be some kind of saint for being frugal with his money.

When in actuality he is worse than other billionaires, because they actually spend that money and put it into other people's pockets, thus keeping the economy going. The absolute worst thing for an economy is the hoarding of money.

>tfw you want to get rich only so you can give your mother a life after she spent hers raising you
pls gib me sympathy

he's into money for the power it brings, not material wealth or the money itself

some people buy sports teams. some people simply watch their bank accounts grow.

warren buffett can change the world with his cash.

>The absolute worst thing for an economy is the hoarding of money.
guy has 100 000$ annual salary
or are you implying he is hoarding STOCKS?

why is there so much idiocy here?
like, are you people wananbee traders? finished economic college? have interest in the markets?
if so then you should pick this stuff up by osmosis alone ffs

enough with the cuban pictures

see
this
1 minute again i saw an interview with the founder of rossman (german drugstore)
worth 2.7bnd $ . why his kids dont need to pay taxes when they inherite his money
>i dont have 2.7bnd$ liquid cash i have >bilion dollars in toiletpaper and >toothpaste i can drife 2000 trucks of it >to the gouverment but then i need to >dissmiss all my employees

He's forbidden by the government to sell his investments. Because doing so would pretty much cause a stock market panic.

thanks for the link you huge faggot
