I said what I said.
These people are displaying hoarding behaviors which a brief googly will show include: excessive acquisition, difficulty discarding, impairment in functioning (including social interaction, work, and ability to maintain a safe environment), distress and shame. The only one they don’t have is clutter. But as someone who has cleaned houses for multi millionaires uh… they’re cluttered as FUCK professionally and personally lol they just pay a pretty penny for someone else to deal with their clutter on literally an hourly basis 😆 So jury is out on that one.
The crazier thing is that they don’t even allow themselves to admit to this and every search you cue of billionaires and hoarding there’s laughable litanies of reasons as to why they’re not. Instead of just admitting that to some degree, they are! We are in a society that allows gaslighting by scared and isolated hoarders guys. This is goofy as all heck. Plz get the hoarders out of public office and into therapy!!!
Here’s an enlightening psychotherapist chat about the matter: https://www.thecut.com/article/therapist-ultra-rich.html
For those that need or are interested in the receipts!

Extremely popular opinion
Yeah I don’t know one person who argue this opinion
not only that but if they can solve world hunger or provide everyone with healthcare, and still have billions left over, they’re evil and have no room in society. ppl shouldn’t be able to even be multi billionaires.
Kanye West and JK Rowling would be despised much more if they were still billionaires.
I’ve read the interview. How is it enlightening in what you are saying?
I’m certain I couldn’t be a billionaire. Or even a multimillionaire. The moment I had a million in the bank I’m fucking off to a beach somewhere not to be seen again.
To have that much and still want to aquire more is crazy.
Does anyone believe otherwise?
OP lacks a fundamental understanding of most billionaires and wealth. The vast majority of billionaires don’t have a lot of liquidity. Sure they’re not struggling to keep the lights on at the house, but it’s not like they have billions stuffed in a mattress or some Scrooge McDuck pool of gold coins.
Most billionaires’ wealth is tied to their holdings of incredibly valuable companies. They’re wealthy on paper, but if the stock price for those companies collapsed, their wealth would collapse with it. It’s a bit of a paradox. For example, if Elon ever tried to liquidate his holdings of Tesla or SpaceX, the value of those companies would crater, and his “wealth” would be worth pennies on the dollar.
Really the only billionaires who might approach the kind of liquidity that a lot of people assume is common would be entertainment industry billionaires. Taylor Swift, George Lucas, Jay Z, etc likely have far more liquidity than someone like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos.
I’ve always assumed the takes off dragons and dragon Slayer was always a metaphor for the ultra rich hoarding everything.
Bring back Dragon Slaying, we have far too many dragons existing freely out here these days.
I initially upvoted because I strongly agree. Then I saw what sub this is and has to change to a downvote. No way this is unpopular.
You think owning a company that you started is hoarding? Do you think they should be forced to sell once it hits a billion?
Used to work for the top 1%. The amount of shit they had in their houses was fuckin ridiculous. Shit everywhere
Using that logic, it is safe to say most humans are hoarders. They all want earn enough money to survive and save enough to retire.
yeah a key part of being human is lack and desire. billionaires don’t have that so they manufacture it in their deranged little heads by convincing themselves they need more, and more, and more money
ridiculous. you know nothing about millionaires not to mention billionaires.
We need to consider taxing wealth, not work and protect ordinary families.
I always think about how if a person had $1 billion and were taxed for 99% of it, they’d be left with $10 million, which is more than my entire family will amass in our combined lifetimes.
Anyway, our political system is oriented towards protecting that billionaire first and foremost.
100% a popular opinion. Zero hot takes here. All this is common thinking.
Popular opinion. But you should know they don’t just have giant vaults of money they swim around in like Scrooge McDuck.
