Pat doesn't understand rich people

[Patrick O'Neal]

I actually agree with Pat on this.

Once you hit 40, if you've made your money ... just retire. I'd love to tell people "I'm retired!"

Depends on the job, of course. But if you are Bezos and you're spending all day in meetings figuring out how to send bog rolls round the world in less than 24 hours... just .... stop.

I'd also agree that Elon Musk has won. And Pat has not.

 

[HotDogJoe]

People with the mindset of “if I got rich I’d just be a layabout” never get rich

It's incredible that he can't understand that basic concept. Fat sperg.

 

[HotDogJoe]

He thinks being a billionaire is something you just luck into

He's made that exact argument before on Twitter about Elon Musk and Steve Jobs.

It's hilarious how transparently bitter and jealous of more successful people he is. In his own mind, he's the greatest human being on earth and therefore it's a travesty that he isn't rich.

 

[Joe_Cumia_Eats_HUMAN_SHIT]

My cousin is a billionaire and works his fucking ass off. He could've just taken the family fortune and fucked off but he decides to stay on the board because he loves what he does.

If Patrick was rich he would never write again? He has no purpose in this world

Sort of echoing what others have said but this is another example of Fatman thinking he's making some insightful point but actually revealing what a useless sack of shit he is. For a lot of highly successful people money is almost incidental. It's not the main reason they do what they do or are who they are.

The most financially successful person I know personally is about 30 years older than me and is a retired hedge fund manager. I'd estimate he's worth between 100 to 200 million dollars. If you saw him on the street you wouldn't know it. And even though he's retired, he sits on a couple of boards in a non-exec capacity, paints, plays golf and volunteers in a soup kitchen one day a week. He's not sitting around next to a pool all day drinking fruity cocktails. He's a do-er.

And he's not even an entrepreneur, he was basically a glorified manager. But he's insanely competitive, very smart and thought nothing of 80 hour weeks for 30 years. Fat has no idea about that kind of dedication to work. He can't even imagine it.

Then you take an entrepreneurial type, you've got the same kind of personality but you throw in creativity, more dynamism and a desire to start and grow a business from scratch. To beat the competitors. To dominate. That doesn't go away when they make 10 million or a billion. It's their reason for being. I'm not like that. Most people aren't. That's why there are so few self-made billionaires. But most of us know and understand that. Pig seems not to. Stupid pig.

One of the characters in his final published novel is a billionaire. Talk about writing what you know.

 

[BudDickman]

He is such a devout loser. This is the way I used to think with I was a stupid teenager. "Dude, Bill Gates has $40 billion. If I had that much I would be able to buy so much cool shit, and I wouldn't even go though a fraction of it."

He just thinks in terms of consumer products and doesn't realize that the people who make those consumer products accessible to everyone in the world are the ones who become billionaires. "Dude, if I owned Amazon like Jeff Bezos, I would order so much shit off of Amazon."

 

[Jim-sucks-shit]

JK Rowling is proof that pat and people like him are full of shit. JK Rowling is a self-made billionaire. She has an absolute stupid amount of money and she offers damn near all of it to charity, but she says, truthfully that transwomen aren't actually women so insane fags like pat have a problem with her.

 

[TomFromNawlins]

Pat also thinks that these billionaires have captured money that’s just been sitting around like chests of doubloons and that the huddled masses can’t get any wealth because it’s all locked in a Scrooge McDuck-style vault.

 

[MunchausenByProxy]

If Pat suddenly happened upon 50 mil, he would leave Niki the next day and never talk to her again. Thats what he thinks of her

These fucking idiots don't understand that when people say that someone is worth X billion dollars, most of that is in stock which cannot be easily liquidated. Jeff Bezos would crash the stock market if he decided to "cash out" like a fat sack of shit.

Everyday he's online telling tall-tales!
Whoo-ooo!

And do what though?

Not to brag or doxx myself but I started a business with a couple of other guys in 2009, sold my stake in 2018. Felt burned out. Basically did nothing but work through my 20s and early 30s. Cashed out with a decent amount. Was able to buy a few properties and still keep a very healthy amount for savings, investing and nut. Took time off. Spent way more time at home. Took up new hobbies.

Maybe it's my issue or my Protestant work ethic but started to feel like a loser after 4-5 months. Didn't need to work but what do you say to people? I sold my company, I'm retired at 36. Oh cool. What do you do? I spend more time with my kids. I golf. I play the stock market. You see their eyes glaze over. No one respects a "house husband," I don't care what they say. Hung out with another guy, an American who was in the same boat. Go to the gym, get lunch, but it was depressing after a while.

Been doing some consulting for the last couple of years because not working gets fucking depressing after a while. No, more than that. It's actively harmful to a man's self-worth. That's why Fat is such a mess. He likes being unproductive. And that's the death of self-respect and self-image.

 

[JoeCumiawearsDIAPERS]

Some people are wired to be rich, others are wired to be wealthy, then there are those wired to be billionaires. Pat is not wired for any of them and thus will wait for the government to squirt his welfare money from it's teet as he seethes and copes in squalor.

Why not just say you're a property manager? Nobody actually gives a fuck what you do. They're just going through the 20 questions you ask until somebody says something interesting.

 

[guest]

Patrick was flabbergasted that a grown man had $17,000 saved up.

How is this retard even real? This has to be an extremely long con of him just fucking with us

Pat is the ultimate pest.

 

[Slackjawed Cow]

He thinks they are dipping into his chance to be a millionaire. Pat you would still be where you are even if they retired. Pat feels entitled and at some point it will be his turn to be rich.

You're right of course. And I probably expressed it poorly. I don't really care what others think. It's more what I think of myself. Being some inactive shit who makes money off not doing much feels weak to me. And I don't make anything like the majority of my money off property. I guess I just like working.

That’s very true about not working, I got laid off once years ago and it took sometime to get another job and it was complete hell. I had money and unemployment benefits but I HATED just sitting around not working. I felt like the biggest piece of shit not having a job and that was only for a short time. You lose touch with society being unemployed and not having a routine can make you crazy. It explains why Pat has completely gone insane, his life is getting into useless fights on twitter with strangers and feels that’s his calling in life.

 

[Mikekeke]

Wasn't this oinker bitching about Elon Musk not helping people with his money? Philanthropy only exists when it's other people's cash, huh?
