To be a billionaire you have to get used to promise people things and then not giving them.
These people hoard money, every penny is as important as the next 1000 dollars.
Oh absolutely.
Had a friend that was absolutely minted.
Went out for dinner with him once.
He used coupons (groupon?). He complained about the food and made them bring out another plate. Twice.
He didn’t want to tip.
It was embarrassing. The food was good. He made a complete arse of himself and saved a few £/$ and was clearly pleased with himself.
Clearly these people are rich for a reason but FFS. I apologised to the staff for his behaviour.
I have heard similar stories, old as time it seems, sorry to hear you’ve had to apologise for someone else’s behaviour! A coupon user too, double embarrassment by association :/
The coupon use isn’t an issue. I wouldn’t begrudge someone making savings where they can. It was the attitude.
Of course not, in isolation its A-Ok, but with the rest of what you described it’s a part of the attitude you say you dislike, & reasonably so.
You cannot be a billionaire while having the slightest shred of decency.
You have to make people take it from you, you never give anything.
Tobey: I want my money
Billionaire: I missed the part where that’s my problem
Tobey: I’ll put dirt in your eye
Is this an actual picture of the billionaire? Should be easy to figure out who it is for someone here

The lighting of the right image totally looks like its from an older movie. But google reverse image search says these are real photographs.
The one on the left also looks more authentic without the lighting adjustments.

Note to self: Don’t play Toby Maguire for money. Just in case he asks.
In my imagination if you don’t pay your poker debts, the dealer shoots you. I guess that’s only in fiction. Shame.
Don’t you like pay the house to get your chips to enter the game?
Billy boy probably owns the house too
He really was that guy in Molly’s Game eh?
Yup.
Spidey VS Kingpin
Tobey got the eminem 8 mile eyes in that shot
the dude has a hand on his shoulder like, “not here spiderman, take it up later”
Musk? Sounds Musky
