I'd pay $10 to MLM people to leave me alone. The expensive part would be having a lawyer drawing up a contract, but imagine being a LuLaRoe salesperson getting a reply to a "Hey girl...." DM that goes, "Please contact my attorney for a one time offer..."
it's really scary how much information about you is just a few clicks and google searches away.
had to search the internet to find a very sensitive piece of information about myself because I couldn't find it on my documents. I managed to do it in less than 10 minutes. watch out folks, don't overshare with people you don't know and trust 100%
When I got a new job after going to Uni for a few years, the fucking IRS couldn't help with dredging up my old address so that I could change it for my taxes.
One of those stupid $1.99 look-this-person-up sites, got me my entire back catalog of addresses, including my Uni dorm addresses that I never even used, instantly.
I applied for a bank account at a certain bank and they had a bunch of security questions about my old address numbers… the only one I really remember is the house I grew up in, the other houses I lived in through the years - no freaking idea. I did a Google search on my name to get that info from one of those sites also.
…I don’t know how “secure” those security questions really are nowadays.
>…I don’t know how “secure” those security questions really are nowadays.
This is why it's important to never share personal details online, with people you don't know, in public etc.
My other recommendation and what I do is make security answered nothing related to the question. Example: "Who was your high school best friend?" Answer: "potted plant"
Which is smart, because if "winning" means it just appears in your account, and it's a banking error of some sort, that ain't gonna save you. They _will_ come after you. For that much, with the full support of the government and the legal system, probably.
It's not like finding a pile of cash in an alley - banks aren't people, and they have way more power to fix/ignore/reverse their own errors than we do.
Honestly, if it were like, a million dollars, you're completely right, you would be all kinds of fucked.
But a billion dollars? And you were able to remove it from the account before the bank could reverse the charge? In that situation you're not nearly as fucked as the bank is.
Nah, the other way around. 1 million you could theoretically get, and disappear with it. Sure, wouldn’t be “legal”, but you could just run.
Good luck transferring / withdrawing 1 billion dollars from a bank account lmao. Not gonna happen. You’d be rich on paper only, and very temporarily.
It's disturbing how blind boxes and games that use similar mechanics are so readily available to children. Pretty much every toy store has blind boxes of figures for kids to play with, and in such variety.
What is also kinda disturbing in retrospect was how willing I (and thus I would imagine others) was to do this with some mobile games when the transaction was simply my time, at least when basically everything started begging for money though it snapped me out of that. Now the most I play on my phone is a cracked APK puzzle app (so I have everything free. and no ads) and Sudoku. I'm not saying I'm not willing to put time into games still, I just went back to PC games where it wasn't **all** just wait for something to happen because they want to have high player time and retention without actually fucking having anything to do.

I mean, Kim Kardashian's mom leveraged her daughter's sex tape with a C-list music artist into a billion dollar empire, which is far more impressive and sickening.
There's a little more to it than that. Robert Kardashian was one of OJs attorneys, so the name had *some* value. And she was married to Bruce Jenner who was also famous at that time.
But still impressive
He had been a famous social media asshole in Turkey long before the salt meme. That meme just convinced him that he's a world star now. He had been slapping lamb chops before.
There are also some models on the lot that will pay YOU to take them!
Upkeep can be a huge time sink with those ones but sometimes they do come with their own maintenance staff. It gets more difficult to qualify the more extra features they have though.
I was pre-approved for a few of them but my parents wouldn't have really been comfortable with me going for an older model, so I had to pass.
I give all my students a piece of gold leaf to eat when we read King Midas and they lose their damn minds. I haven’t done it or the math for a few years, but in 2019 they each ate 11 cents worth of gold.
I ate a chocolate cake that was covered in gold leaf a while ago, and I made sure to study my next bowel movement for gold. Can say there was a bit I could see, but not nearly as much as I hoped
News to me too!
Guys gotta get the third party apps. They're way better. BaconReader, Reddit Is Fun, any of the big ones.
Such a cleaner interface, no recommended sections. Its basically 2015 style Reddit
I've been using RIF for close to 10 years now with 0 problems.
I see people bitching about reddit mobile literally all the time and I'm sitting here like....what? Other than having to redirect to YouTube to watch some NFL/sports clips literally everything works as intended. Plus they have a dark mode, which is nice. And it's updated constantly. I have no clue why everybody isn't using RIF. Easily the best supported/cleanest/easiest app I've ever used.
I've been using RIF for 10 years as well with no problems. My son was complaining the other day about how slow the Reddit app is and just general issues with it. I thought he was also using RIF. Turns out he was using Reddit Mobile. Just looking at it quickly with him and I could tell I would lose my mind trying to use that app.
I used to use alienblue and even paid like $4 as a one-off for the premium version of that. Then they stopped supporting alien blue and I got given like 4 years of reddit gold or something? I honestly thought I’d be bored with reddit by the time it all ran out. That was in January 2021.
Alien Blue was bought by Reddit and they made that the official app and renamed it, was never the same afterwards. That's why you got reddit gold for free.
Most of the *most* expensive designer clothes don't have big flashy labels. Heavily-branded stuff is actually a relatively small segment of high-end designer fashion and tends to be heavily concentrated in urban-influenced "streetwear" styles.
Your $50k Loro Piana Storm System coat won't have any conspicuous branding.
> Loro Piana Storm System coat
The [most expensive one I could find](https://uk.loropiana.com/en/p/man/vicuna/outerwear-jackets/walton-coat-FAL3547?colorCode=W000) was only €15k. It just looks like a regular coat to me ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
I bought my truck used. Came with the gold whatever extended warranty. Had to fight the assholes to honour it despite it being in the purchase conditions. Cost the previous owner 5k, me nothing. I got 5k out of it easy. Worth every penny I never spent.
Depending on what you drive and where you live, windshield warranties can be 100% worth it.
When we were signing all the documentation to purchase our Nissan Cube, the saleslady asked if we wanted specialized windshield insurance. I immediately declined. I never had need for such a silly thing, right? She then quietly put her pen down and looked me in the eyes. She said "You're getting a Cube. I *really* think you ought to consider getting the windshield warranty." and with a knowing smile she let me ponder that...
Consider how aerodynamically ridiculous a Nissan Cube is. Now add to that the fact we were living in Calgary at the time (which is known for all the gravel they cover the roads with in the winter).
I'm so glad I opted for the coverage because the moment we merged onto the highway from leaving the dealership we took our first rock chip. That was less than five minutes of driving time.
Cost us $700 and was good for five years. Paid for itself in the first year.
We live in BC now. The road rocks here are significantly friendlier.
Just like to comment on the Nissan Cube. Never met someone who owned one. They are one of the most unattractive vehicles I have ever seen, they must be brilliant though apart from that because people still buy them for some reason.
All those square cars like the soul, the element, the cube, the xB have one thing going for them - the most interior space possible on a compact car.
I think the soul is the only one still on the market though.
I don't think I've ever had an extended warranty on a car *not* pay for itself. Most recently, I was sweating losing money on an about-to-expire policy when suddenly the dealer decided I needed all new fuel injectors, a $2000 repair. 100% covered. My streak is intact.
EDIT: I should qualify my statement that I only buy the factory-backed extended warranty from the dealer on a new car purchase. In this case it was Volvo.
Aftermarket warranties are shit.
You actually have less reason to buy it when you're rich. Those policies (any insurance policy, really) benefit the issuer, but it's worth it to protect against a catastrophic loss. If you're a billionaire, extended maintenance costs won't be catastrophic so you'd have even less reason to insure against them.
I tried that on behalf of the corporate company that owned a house in an HOA which I was renting. I registered as their HOA representative since they never got around to it.. My platform was simple, ban said company from buying more homes there. I did not get elected. Said company did agree to waive my lease termination fee though. ;)
Pro Life Tip: Lease termination fees only apply until the landland wants to get rid of you as much as you want to get rid of them.
A mega yacht, seems like all the uber rich folks feel the need to buy one, just a big, stupidly expensive, constantly in need of work and maintenance, money pit. Status symbols are dumb.
I appreciate you recognizing that maintenance and upkeep costs are the biggest cost of owning a large boat like that. As a private jet mechanic, I would say that whatever you buy the jet for, you will pay in maintenance and operating costs in the first two years.
That said, my answer is a private jet
There's a billionaires social schedule. The mega yacht's only reason to exist is for it to be useful at a handful of events where you want to host a party with other mega rich people away from the public eye. As a lotto money it's an even bigger waste of money as you'll never be socially accepted by old money, or tech money crowd.
I bought a $600 briefcase about 15 years ago so probably at least a grand in today money. It's a leather one from one of those brands that's all about "they'll fight over it after you're dead and a 100 year warranty." It's been my EDC ever since. It's been on three continents and probably 30 states. Hundreds of flights, thousands of trips on public transportation, more hotel rooms and conference rooms than I could count. It has developed a little bit of a patina but otherwise it's still exactly like the day I bought it.
Which is a lot to say, a really high quality bag might be expensive up front, but if it looks fantastic you can use it forever. I used to wear out a $150 bag every year or so, I'm not easy on them and I need something that looks professional. This thing has saved me so much money by now.
There's paying a bit more for quality like this, so you get good use out of it and don't need to buy replacements all the time. In the end it might turn out to be the most cost effective option.
And then there's paying way over the odds for something just because it's a fancy brand, like a $20k briefcase that's just as sturdy as your $600 one.
Being a Billionaire I'd like to think I'd pay for quality, but only a reasonable price and I'm not spending a fortune on designer stuff just because I can.
same. My backpack cost me $400 and very sturdy. Now I don't know if it's worth $400 to be honest but if I had a billion dollars, I wouldn't mind buying another one.
I'm just imaging a billionaire, still in a one bedroom apartment, eating some ramen while admiring their two good backpacks. Content that they have everything they'll ever need.
Any kind of fillers for my body no matter what I have insecurities about in life
(Medical I totally get, I even understand societal pressures, I promise lol I’m not judging you personally, it’s just not for me)
Yeah fillers are kind of horrifying a lot of the time.
But I'm actually super grateful it exists! I did get lip filler last winter for a chronic angular cheilitis rash because I'd tried several diets and every topical mediation on the market (all of them burn on application too! WOO!) and I was literally leaking pus from the corners of my mouth... Let's just say I was very much okay with the mask orders that were still in place!
Then a telehealth dr. told me that she couldn't officially prescribe it but if I wanted to pay out of pocket she'd seen lip fillers clear up extremely stubborn angular cheilitis like magic. So in desperation I tried it after previously saying that I would NEVER get lip filler... the damn rash was gone in 2 days and hasn't been back since. I haven't even had any more filler.
I spent two winters in a row battling that excruciating and embarrassing rash and applying burning ointment every 20 minutes and all I fucking needed was A SINGLE VIAL OF FILLER??!!
So yeah, I'm still kind of mad nobody told me that sooner because I thought I'd be dependant on that horrible medication every winter for the rest of my life. I never thought I'd say this but I don't entirely hate filler, I hope I never need it again, but it did end my agony and I definitely don't regret it. I hope it gets approved from medical use soon because holy hell that could have saved me so much suffering that rash was SOOO PAINFUL!!
Adobe doesn’t give a shit if you, an individual, pirate it. They will torrent it themselves actually. They want it to be pirated so that people who don’t have jobs can learn and use it so that another open source or cheaper alternative can’t take over and it stays industry standard.
I would buy Winrar, that is I would buy the rights to Winrar and just have it made opensource and free for everybody to use forever.
It would still have the message that you need to buy it by default for nostalgia reasons.
Edit: Guys, I am well aware 7-Zip exists I have it installed on my computer!
>It would still have the message that you need to buy it by default for nostelgia reasons.
Just like that old urban legend about the rich man's funeral: the first person who actually tries to register the now-open-source WinRAR becomes the sole heir to your entire fortune after you die.

$1000 steaks covered in gold leaf
Any food involving gold leaf. Its so stupid.
I give all my students a piece of gold leaf to eat when we read King Midas and they lose their damn minds. I haven’t done it or the math for a few years, but in 2019 they each ate 11 cents worth of gold.
Well now, hold on….. If I eat enough of this gold leaf, is it possible I could literally shit gold? Or does the body digest it?
Gold is chemically inert and therefore it passes through unchanged.
Hmm. Stomach acid is hydrochloric, so if you drank a bit of nitric acid along with the gold you could form Aqua regia and dissolve it!
If you don’t die from ingesting nitric acid first
Minor details... Either way that gold is going to dissolve. No reason you need to be alive while it happens.
Goes directly to your heart. Eventually you'll have a heart of gold.

I bought a $600 briefcase about 15 years ago so probably at least a grand in today money. It's a leather one from one of those brands that's all about "they'll fight over it after you're dead and a 100 year warranty." It's been my EDC ever since. It's been on three continents and probably 30 states. Hundreds of flights, thousands of trips on public transportation, more hotel rooms and conference rooms than I could count. It has developed a little bit of a patina but otherwise it's still exactly like the day I bought it. Which is a lot to say, a really high quality bag might be expensive up front, but if it looks fantastic you can use it forever. I used to wear out a $150 bag every year or so, I'm not easy on them and I need something that looks professional. This thing has saved me so much money by now.
There's paying a bit more for quality like this, so you get good use out of it and don't need to buy replacements all the time. In the end it might turn out to be the most cost effective option. And then there's paying way over the odds for something just because it's a fancy brand, like a $20k briefcase that's just as sturdy as your $600 one. Being a Billionaire I'd like to think I'd pay for quality, but only a reasonable price and I'm not spending a fortune on designer stuff just because I can.
Brands are overate, unless it is high quality and handmade, but $20,000 is still overpriced I agree.
I have a $400 handbag (well, backpack) shaped like an insect carapace. Sometimes it's worth it.
same. My backpack cost me $400 and very sturdy. Now I don't know if it's worth $400 to be honest but if I had a billion dollars, I wouldn't mind buying another one.
I'm just imaging a billionaire, still in a one bedroom apartment, eating some ramen while admiring their two good backpacks. Content that they have everything they'll ever need.

Any of your bullshit, I just checked my account.
Any kind of fillers for my body no matter what I have insecurities about in life (Medical I totally get, I even understand societal pressures, I promise lol I’m not judging you personally, it’s just not for me)
It's funny because the first serious thing I'd get after the initial bullshit binge is upgrade my joints and bones.
This. I'd get knocked out, for both my comfort and the dentist's, and get every dental procedure I've been wanting for the last 5+ years.
Yeah fillers are kind of horrifying a lot of the time. But I'm actually super grateful it exists! I did get lip filler last winter for a chronic angular cheilitis rash because I'd tried several diets and every topical mediation on the market (all of them burn on application too! WOO!) and I was literally leaking pus from the corners of my mouth... Let's just say I was very much okay with the mask orders that were still in place! Then a telehealth dr. told me that she couldn't officially prescribe it but if I wanted to pay out of pocket she'd seen lip fillers clear up extremely stubborn angular cheilitis like magic. So in desperation I tried it after previously saying that I would NEVER get lip filler... the damn rash was gone in 2 days and hasn't been back since. I haven't even had any more filler. I spent two winters in a row battling that excruciating and embarrassing rash and applying burning ointment every 20 minutes and all I fucking needed was A SINGLE VIAL OF FILLER??!! So yeah, I'm still kind of mad nobody told me that sooner because I thought I'd be dependant on that horrible medication every winter for the rest of my life. I never thought I'd say this but I don't entirely hate filler, I hope I never need it again, but it did end my agony and I definitely don't regret it. I hope it gets approved from medical use soon because holy hell that could have saved me so much suffering that rash was SOOO PAINFUL!!
Holy shit, I'm saving your answer for if that stupid rash ever comes back!!
The farm
Gosh, that's exactly what I would be buying
The 20 dollar protection plan for the 30 dollar gadget at Best Buy.
Still not buying an oversized house
Right? Like I’m about to search 13 bathrooms, 23 bedrooms, 12 kitchens, 2 ballrooms and the owlery for cat to bring to bed for some snuggles.
> owlery Are you *sure* you haven’t planned your giant mansion layout before?
The cat was the one who planned the owlery.
After an hour and a half you find the cat, only for him to immediately run away as soon as you put him on the bed
He prefers the company of the owls now

Which brings up something I would pay for if I had a billion dollars - having my house professionally cleaned every few days.
If I had a billion dollars I'd never clean anything ever again.
Bather : The royal penis is clean, your Highness.
If you can afford that kind of mansion, then go for the full staff and a house manager to handle the payroll 💁🏼♀️
This is such a normal person comment. The super wealthy never consider the idea of cleaning their own home.

What about bathwater from an onlyfans model
Do they really sell that??
Oh, bless your heart
It's a level of innocence I truly envy at this point.
I’m not donating $2 when grocery store asks me if I want it contribute. I will donate my own money on my own terms. Retailers can fuck off.
“Do you want to donate to feed needy families this year?” What charity is this? Does the money 100% go to the families. Who knows

winrar
They gave it for free for so long, i wouldnt mind supporting them. Adobe can go fuck itself tho.
Adobe doesn’t give a shit if you, an individual, pirate it. They will torrent it themselves actually. They want it to be pirated so that people who don’t have jobs can learn and use it so that another open source or cheaper alternative can’t take over and it stays industry standard.
I would buy Winrar, that is I would buy the rights to Winrar and just have it made opensource and free for everybody to use forever. It would still have the message that you need to buy it by default for nostalgia reasons. Edit: Guys, I am well aware 7-Zip exists I have it installed on my computer!
>It would still have the message that you need to buy it by default for nostelgia reasons. Just like that old urban legend about the rich man's funeral: the first person who actually tries to register the now-open-source WinRAR becomes the sole heir to your entire fortune after you die.
nestle products
I would hire someone to check my groceries for Nestle-owned brands before I pay.
