What was recently released forbes The list of the world's billionaires shows that the club is expanding and its members are wealthier than ever. There are now 141 more billionaires in the world than there were last year. Their total assets are currently worth trillions of dollars. I think it will reach a trillion soon.
French luxury fashion mogul Bernard Arnault has been at the top since 2022. Elon Musk fell to second place, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg fell to fourth place, and Bill Gates remained in seventh place. You have to hit them hard.
Rishi Sunak is not included in this inventory as he simply has millions of dollars. (Ah, the sacrifices he had to make to run this country.) Seeing the visible anguish every time he is asked about his wife's endless wealth, most Brits are unmoved. . How ungrateful we are.
Billionaire couple Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman also didn't make the list. Last we heard, they were reportedly considering purchasing a luxury yacht, while the National Crime Agency accused them of supplying defective personal protective equipment (PPE) during the coronavirus pandemic. are investigating the company MedPro, which they deny. When some of his bank accounts were frozen, Monet lamented that he was being treated like drug lord Pablo Escobar.
We common people don't know how difficult it is to become rich. A very wealthy distant relative is considering moving to Dubai. “Because this country is not kind to hard-working, successful people. They are lazy and hate us.”
The Ivy's Richard Caring, a billionaire and former non-citizen himself, fears the end of tax cuts for the super-rich will force them to leave the UK. . The non-dom scenario that just happened is going to be harmful. ”
Meanwhile, the suffering of the middle class, upper middle class, upper class, and nobility will only worsen.
“So are we!” they cried, overcoming the cost of living crisis. Ah, dear readers, this year we had to hear their disappointing stories about how some really great ski resorts are “unaffordable.” Or how much their “greedy” nannies want now, or how much their pets are losing out on childcare subsidies. Or perhaps unwarranted anger builds up over a vacation home in a beautiful part of the country.
Above all, private schools are worried that they will lose their tax benefits under Labour. As with everything else, Labor is vacillating and hopelessly unclear about the actual policy, yet in mothers' circles online you can see them in hysterics.
I am often paired with tax-hating, narcissistic, self-justifying men and women on TV and radio. They believe that caring about an equal society is just “envy” and that the wealthy tycoons are fairly compensated. It's a tough job. ” In their world, city council street sweepers could also get rich by cleaning more streets and working harder. And investing and making a profit is harder work than nursing, being a doctor, taking care of children, building roads, or teaching. They believe that all humans want money. Well, this is not the case.
To make sure we weren't lying to ourselves, we took a look at Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow's online supplier of everything for people who have it all. Raffia baskets are available for $745, and devices with flashing red lights that can be inserted into the vagina to provide therapeutic “intimate well-being” are available for $395. Trust me, I didn't turn blue. God forgive me, I did, and I felt a high of superiority. How stupid would you be to want something like this and buy it?
Then I remembered Shahbaz Ali. Shahbaz Ali is a young teacher from Blackburn and a great critic of the world's unintelligent wealthy class. On his TikTok, he exposes the pretentiousness and vile consumerism of the super-rich who buy crappy stuff, fly on private jets, own islands in the sun, drink fancy champagne, and enjoy fancy stores and jazz. I enjoy doing what I do. This is his detox program for ambitious students, many of whom long for that lifestyle. Although Master Ali is currently inactive, he currently has 3.5 million fans online and has just published a new book titled: I'm rich, you're poor.
Will his voice be heard? I just wish he could turn his message into a happy meme and get Goop excited. It's a dire prospect. But that is the state of the world today.
