Only on Getbig will Prime preach the virtues of a billionaire who “never wanted to be a billionaire” and then use his philanthropic giving as a way to bash Trump.
Prime do you know how hard it is to be a billionaire, it’s much easier to not become one than it is to actually devote your life to becoming one.
Your hero is a liar.
Having never been a billionaire, I haven't a clue how hard that is to achieve. Staying afloat seems hard enough.
Perhaps he is a liar. Yvon Chouinard's decision may be more about making amends since at his age he realizes he is nearing the end of his life. There plenty of criticism about his 'donating' the wealth he's accumulated over his lifetime and not just on Getbig.
Am I bashing Trump? Nope. Just drawing a comparison between two people with an excess of monetary wealth who appear to be total opposites. Being a billionaire and living 'small' is not a virtue, it is a choice. Philanthropy is also a choice and there is virtue in it as well.
I do find Trump's concept of charity unique, but maybe, unfortunately it isn't. If you're interested in knowing more, read about the Donald J. Trump foundation.
I doubt Trump minds people 'admiring' he conspicuous consumption. Isn't that the whole point of owning golden palaces like Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago?
My parents enjoyed putting on a show of wealth despite their not having it. What they had was tons of debt and very little if anything in the bank. No doubt their fakery influenced my thoughts about what constitutes wealth.
