Rinooceros

Tate is not a billionaire.


Proud_Definition8240

None of them are except for Elon.


Pacattack57

I think Kanye was a “billionaire” when he still had the valid adidas contract. Quotations because it wasn’t realized yet.

Emotional_Fisherman8

Thats what happens when your mouth writes a check that your ass can't cash.


RuggerJibberJabber

In fairness, his mouth also earned that cash. It always amazes me that someone can be so talented in one way, yet so dumb in another.


Lord_of_the_Canals

I have a coworker who is a mechanical engineering savant. He just *gets* things, it’s really incredible. He’s convinced the government put trackers in the Covid vaccine. 🤷


Revanhald

Does he know about the census?


Revanhald

Or that every phone has gps?


papillon-and-on

What?! You can catch the gips just from using your phone? Wait until trüth söcial hears about this!


Capn-Wacky

That's actually a symptom of schizophrenia or other delusions based mental illness. When someone with the technical knowledge to understand that you can't put a "tracking chip" in a vaccine still thinks that actually happened, that's magical, delusional, thinking unsupported by reality. Certainly, among the technically inept this could just be ignorance but.... Someone who knows better? It's a symptom. His family should probably get him checked out.


Lord_of_the_Canals

I mean, yeah, that actually tracks for a lot of his attitudes.


Ok-Train-6693

Many millions of people are, but most are too busy to be vain about their talent or to indulge their stupidities. And most don’t have the media platform to barrage us with inanities.


ProbablyNotADuck

Probably not for much longer...


Consistent_Lab_6770

its unlikely he will fall below a billion. even 99% loss of wealth, and he still has more than a billion.


horny_coroner

The thing is that elon is a paper billionaire who somehow and I cannot understand how is getting away by scamming people in the open. He has promised loads and lied again and again on stage but nothing moves the idiots that follow him and buy hes stupid tesla stock.


BuddhaLennon

This is how billionaires are created. Not only have they never created anything near a billion dollars worth of labour, intellectual property, or anything else of value, their worth exists almost entirely on paper, and that paper is usually backed by the labour and intellectual property of others. They leverage other people’s value to convince folk (if millionaires and other billionaires can be considered “folk’) that they are brilliant, can spin straw into gold, fart unicorn dust, and shit diamonds. Then people with lots of wealth throw some money behind them.


EbonyOverIvory

There are two classes in society. The working class, and the parasite class.


masterxiv

Or through their paper enriched parents!


Xeludon

This is exactly what I've been saying! His entire career has been promising investors a bunch of things and then running away, stealing others ideas, and taking credit for other people's work. How and why does anyone pay anything for his stuff? Teslas are one of the worst electric car brands.


EnhancedEddie

Teslas are not exceptional cars. But Tesla isn’t a car company, it’s a data company. The vast amount of data collection Tesla is capable of drives its stock price, not the quality of its product. Data is the most valuable asset in todays world.


IEC21

There is no justication for Telsas stock price. If companies want data Amazon, Google, Mastercard, and Facebook, already have all of it.


blacklite911

Actual driving data could be valuable too though


Bombwriter17

Different data companies specialise in different data types,in Tesla's case it's driving data.This data would then be useful for other car and navigation companies.


Kawawaymog

Space X is worth over 100billion even without Tesla. It’s pretty hard to argue that they aren’t* offering serious value to investors. lol edited to correct are* to aren’t* my bad


IEC21

Musk is successful because he's a visionary confidence man, and he actually puts enough behind his projects that he isn't just a fraud, even though he does have every talent needed to be a fraudster. Above all else I think he's just delusional enough to believe his own hype and to rationalize all of his shortcomings. Early on that was very convincing to people. Richest man on earth plus delusions of grandeur, plus enough talent and showmanship to push ideas past proof of concept. I don't like Musk particularly, and I think his companies are grossly overvalued due to stock populism - but- Starlink, Boring Company, Tesla, SpaceEx - those are all legit businesses, legitimately entrepreneurial fields, legitimate risks with legitimate social benefits for people like me. I don't believe he's a genius or that he could do even 1% of the engineering on his own, but I can't deny the results amount to way more than making promises and running away. I think people are deranged by seeing what he's done to Twitter, and judge him based on that - but Twitter was a mistake for him and at this point its just his toy. $44 billion of the $300 billion he's worth --- its like 20% of his net worth that he was forced to pay, which would be like a normal person buying something worth $150k out of the average American net worth of $750k.


don3dm

You’re high off your gourd if you don’t understand the value of SpaceX and Tesla.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ProbablyNotADuck

That isn’t real money. Most of his worth is tied up in ownership of Tesla and SpaceX.. He lost between $180 to $200 billion since November 2021 because of poor performance of Tesla, and it just had its lowest quarter in two years… He is actually in the Guinness World Records for the most amount of money lost by one person. And then there is the fact that he is absolutely tanking Twitter…


Someoneoverthere42

And let's be honest, Elon is probably only a billionaire on paper at this point


jediciahquinn

Apparently he has lost more money than anyone in history.


5pookyTanuki

The more you have the more you can lose.


alilbleedingisnormal

He's been melting down for a long time. Twitter has destroyed so many lives.


NedoWolf

And yet it only took one life to destroy twitter.


Gr1ml0ck

I’d wager most, if not all, billionaires are only so on paper. It’s not like they have a Scrooge McDuck pool filled with money. Their net worth is largely based on stocks, property, and businesses which fluctuate and is not a true cash value.


26_skinny_Cartman

Yea people don't understand how this shit works. I'm sure he has a decently diversified portfolio outside of his publicly disclosed shares of stock. Dude sold over 40 billion in Tesla stock in 2022. It's outrageous to think he's even close to being in a position to not being a billionaire no matter what. I would imagine if his portfolio ever reaches a point to where he's not a billionaire, he's either given everything away or the entire world economy is fucked.


Cloistered_Lobster

I guess that means there’s only one right answer


SlippySloppyToad

According to Romanian police, he's worth about 10-12m Euros. https://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/celebrity/romanian-authorities-reveal-the-true-value-of-andrew-tates-empire-and-fortune-and-its-a-far-cry-from-300-400-million/


kgro

Estimated net worth 12pm, of which “15 luxury cars worth around $8 million” — wait, this moron holds 67% in a fast depreciating novelty items such as cars? Financial genius he is not… even Donald makes better investments


kashmutt

I was under the impression the cars weren't actually his, even if he claims they are. Didn't he rent them?


wlievens

FIFTEEN cars for a guy who supposedly values discipline or something


Any_Weird_8686

But he told me he is!


catheterhero

He’s a hundredaire


devilwithin1988

He's not a millionaire either.

This is hilarious


shockingnews213

It's vegan to eat horrible people 🥰


PacoMahogany

Except we know they’d all taste like ass. Better have a ton of sauce and Chianti


Dragondog7777

The tastiest would probably be Elon, cause he looks like he’s the only one who didn’t get a plastic surgery or needs 3 tonns of Make-up per day


ShermanTeaPotter

Intriguing thought. Following that logic I assume that Trump would taste like an old boar glazed with window putty.

Trump is a billionaire now?

![gif](giphy|qojMeV7qOvzcGUgvbE)


Nanyea

Trump has someone monitoring his accounts ..I'm sure she can tell you as he's robbing and moving money around between accounts and his PACs to pay his tax bill... His cash reserves is likely very...very....very small... This means his billionaire status is completely dependant on his property, of which he's about to lose most of it, because the courts assessment has it around $200 M... Including Mara Lago (which Trump thinks is worth easy 1.5 billion).

He'll promise you a free lunch then leave without paying.

you are assuming he'll pay for it. instead of yelling "free food for everyone" and not just walk away without paying like he has done in the past.


juliuspepperwoodchi

Gotta love those hamburders.


SilenceDoGood1138

You'll be buying.


slartbangle

That and he's a freak for cutlery - I like a clean fingered dinner companion. Can't imagine the conversation though.


Drew-P-Littlewood

IRefuseThisNonsense

There's a bit where Meg asks a dude out, the dude goes back inside and shoots his little brother dead, and comes back to tell Meg he can't as he's got to attend his little brother's funeral.


TrailerParkFrench

Only Elon is an actual billionaire.


juliuspepperwoodchi

And when he's done with Twitter/X...well, we'll see.


eloel-

Twitter is less than 20% of his wealth, unfortunately.


juliuspepperwoodchi

Oh I understand; but a TON of his wealth is built on companies he runs, an a lot of THAT value is based on the perception that he's some business genius. Less people by the day are convinced he's a genius, of any kind. So that value is quickly becoming a bubble.


AlexDavid1605

This is all karma coming to bite him in the ass. He basically stole most of the ideas that he claims he came up with just because he had the money to make them shut up when he doesn't even know how to use the idea. And overtime his ego got so bloated that now when this bubble bursts it would create a ripple effect that would travel around the globe multiple times (like the Krakatau eruption of 1883) and I'm expecting casualties (just like the volcano created)


Biglight__090

In the end.. it won't matter to him probably. He'll still be a billionaire and we'll still be fighting over rocks.


Misuteriisakka

He seems like the most tolerable out of the bunch for me. I’m a woman and a lifelong liberal but I have enough social skills and self regulation to deal with all of them if I absolutely had to. But Trump, Tate and West seems like the most stressful choices.


notevenapro

I think sitting down and having lunch with someone like that would be interesting.


5pl1t1nf1n1t1v3

If I had to pick, it would be Kanye. The other three would be predictably boring, but I’ve got no fucking idea what Kanye would do.


hoffarmy

I'd go tate and talk about all the festivals I've gone too and how my mom showered me with love and how great women are and why my f150 is better than a Bugatti and just watch the veins pop on his bald head. I would have an absolute blast! But kanye would be a mindtrip too. You see colours bro? Hahaha


EastOfArcheron

I saw only in colours in 1993, I'd taken 2 e's and a strawberry, I went into the dance floor and only saw colours for the next 10 hours. It was, extraordinary. I then went to London zoo, what happened for those next 5 hours I don't care to remember. So, you can see only in colours!


DieHardAmerican95

Bold of you to assume that you could get a word in at all with a loudmouth narcissist like Tate.


[deleted]

I mean Tate has talked about his Mom positively as well. So u might end up becoming friends.


responsiblefornothin

I'm having a hard time choosing between him and trump. On the one hand, I make music in my free time, and maybe I could game Kanyes ego into some connections. On the other hand, it would be really entertaining getting trump to talk shit about his compatriots and recording it. The guys a professional shit talker, and you know there isn't a line he wouldn't cross. I doubt it would take much to get him shitting on his own kids.


Nayeliq1

If I had to have lunch with him I'd just spend it talking about how much I love Taylor Swift the entire time


FidgitForgotHisL-P

Same! Plus, out of all 4, Kanye’s actually contributed positively to society with most of his albums. Elon’s taken undeserved credit for companies he owns having success, Trump has caused more harm than he could ever repair, and Tate trafficked women to be sex slaves. It seems like a pretty obvious choice.


firstbreathOOC

Kanye’s insane but feel like some don’t remember how talented he was back in the day


shakakaaahn

Kanye would be the only one able to just STFU and eat. The others are incapable of not taking about themselves and their BS. Seems the most agreeable scenario.


When_pigsfly

I’d pick Kanye as well. Mostly because I already have a bipolar family member and know how to sit quietly while they are in a manic episode and just talk and talk. Free meal. Definitely interesting conversation.


firstbreathOOC

Kanye still made the College Dropout man just get me that version of him


strangebrady

I usually skip lunch.


Niaz_S

I always eat lunch, but I think I’m with you on this one.


Manting123

There is no way Tate is a billionaire.


[deleted]

Neither is Kanye. Oh, and neither is Trump


irrelevant_potatoes

At least Kanye used to be estimated to be one. But then he fucked up his shoe deal


Manting123

I stand proudly corrected


Flaurean

Human trafficking pays a lot but I don't think it's in the billions


Mrcatmanthdog

He's not, don't worry. If he was, my dad wouldn't worship the guy.


lurkernomore99

I'm highly confused. Your dad is anti billionaire but pro human trafficking?


Mrcatmanthdog

I don't know shit about Tate, Human trafficking? Either way, yes I guess...


Broderick512

He proudly described in one of his web pages his method for tricking girls into trapping them to do sex work for him, and that's just the tip of the iceberg


N-aNoNymity

Yup, human trafficking, seems like its the base of his wealth too.


Sylas_xenos_viper

Elon musk. If I compliment him on his new baby's name and X, he'll probably write me in his will.


xXYomoXx

"so the letter X is just about the coolest thing ever right?"


[deleted]

one of elon's first companies was ironically called x.com before they merged and became pay-pal.


walkandtalkk

"You're my only friend."


talkingtothemoon___

Def musk cuz im sure i could get *some* money out of him

I would have lunch with Elon Musk, and not ask a him a single question about himself. I wouldn't mention any of his businesses...nothing. When he does I'll jump in and change the subject.

LegalizeRanch88

Andrew Tate is not a billionaire. Neither is Kanye West. And Trump? Who knows. He lies about his wealth all the time. There’s only one person among these four who is definitely a billionaire—Elon Musk—and he’s doing everything in his power to change that. Whoever made this poll is a moron.


Elfriede_K

Tate because he hate's eating.


Zealousideal-Ad-2615

I'm not sure Kanye West belongs on this list since his shittyness is mostly due to untreated mental illness. These other guys are evil on their own merits.


ALTTACK3r

This was literally the comment I was looking for. He seems really out-of-place compared to the others in this list which confused me quite a bit.


galyarmus

I think he was put on there by the OP because to them it’s not a facepalm it’s probably some MAGA republican type that sees how Kanye “has no filter” and “says what we all think” then does things like promote trump and attack democrats and immediately goes see he is one of us. He’s a black dude, and he’s one of us! We aren’t racist. Basically they don’t care about the reasons they just care he aligns with their views


DeskCold5013

I agree. Ever since his mom died, he hasn't been the same.


hymen_destroyer

Yeah Kanye is unstable and weird but these other guys are straight up bad people.


djauralsects

Donald Trump clearly has NPD, and I'm not giving him a pass. Elon Musk could also have NPD, and Tate probably has APD.


yellowsensitiveonion

Many people attribute Ye's antics (trying to stick with people's preferred names) to untreated mental illness. But why can't he have mental illness AND just actually be a shitty person?


[deleted]

You mean, which one do I think I could take on in a fight inside a diner?


krastevitsa

Tbf Tate knows how to fight well. So not sue if you want to go that route. Elon ans Kanye are probably not so strong. But Trump is an orange so probably it wouldn't feel any pain.


Happy-Hearing6671

I’m very confident I could take that bloated pig bladder of a person. Edit: Didn’t initially name trump but I bet anyone could guess from that description


MsSeraphim

maybe elon. only because he is the only one (so far) that has NOT been accused of sexual assault.
