the fucked up thing is that it’s almost true, there’s a level of wealth where people are generally optimally happy. Look at people who get enough money to buy a house and comfortably retire early on without needing to worry about affording normal things again, something like that is peak contentment in life.
I sincerely do not understand why a mentally healthy person would ever want a to be richer than that, it means you have to do a bunch of publicity shit and other miserable stuff and it doesn’t really benefit you much.
I think another important factor is how famous you are. I’d imagine it’s really annoying to get recognised anywhere you go…
unless of course you’re like mrbeast or the muskrat who seem to love the attention and in fact crave the constant validation of being recognized.
Broken people can’t afford a house… they are happy if they get through the month with ±0.
Life is much simpler being a regular middle class kid living with your parents than an adult millionaire everyone knows and expects money from. He never knew what actually being broke and responsible for yourself or a family as an adult was.
Quick, let’s help him out! Take all his money to make his life easier!
I think Good Charlotte published a how to guide a few years ago
Ha. He told us he’s never been broke without telling us he’s never been broke.
Even if I were being charitable to say what he meant was not being famous is easier, it’s still such a backhanded remark to make - I’d rather deal with the problems of fame than the looming threat of the poverty line any day of the week.
The thing is, in this age, fame is a choice (to those it is given to). He has enough money to retire into obscurity, living a simple life of comfort. He chooses not not to.
Where I’m from, if you’re evicted at any time during the 9-10 months of winter you’ll probably die unless you find another place in time which can be incredibly difficult and risky depending on why you were evicted.
Learning about idol scenes and how hardcore it is to be an idol makes me feel very uncomfortable, but I somehow find Mr Beast to be a fish worth this ocean. He’s somehow uniquely compatible with what youtube wants now, and I doubt it’s stirs him wrong. In my mind, he echoes what other creators feel about all that bs.
if it’s so much easier then just give away every penny why dontcha? oh he only ‘gives’ for content
This feels like its taken out of context
But he also said dumb things like the youtube algorithm being perfect so maybe its not taken out of context
I can understand that he likes the way the YouTube algorithm is though
“Living is so much easier when you’ve been stabbed 37 times”
37… In a row???
Well you know what they say: mo money, mo problems.
Which can be extrapolated to no money, no problems. Right?
Right???
No money --> No ability to buy food --> Staying slim
Yeah, makes sense to me.
The only thing making his life difficult is his constant need for attention
Literally this. He could retire comfortably at literally any time. He’s choosing not to.
lol. This is exactly what rich people say. I take it this guy’s a millionaire ?
