Think about the people you have cut off or have just distanced themselves from you for one reason or another. Or even the relationships that have ran their course, or that season of friendship is over.......

Now imagine if you were just stupid rich. How many of those folks would still be trying to remain active in your life?

I ran a quick list in my head, and the people I came up with make me slightly relieved that I'm a working class, regular dude.

Obviously I'm at work and my mind is elsewhere, just indulge me.

"C'mon bruh, we family!" isn't good enough to be put on payroll. I kinda already know who I would and wouldn't just randomly give money to. I always wonder if a person like Oprah can calculate how much more she has because she curved people that needed her capital for random business ventures.

Who just deals with family issues and a lawyer who specifically terrifies people who try to extort her.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts..." -The Bard

i can't even count the conversations i've had where ppl are talking about someone ELSE'S money with out right adoration
now imagine if you were that person they were talking about and the conservations they must be having with you
no thanks

especially if we were talking oprah money. i mean how many people could she hit off with what is, to her, a drop in the bucket and set their asses up for LIFE? would be weird to pick and choose.

I'd tell them to return to their dog shit lives because my team was full before I got paid and that's who I'm riding with in my Ritchie Rich era.

Those people already know where I stand, and I'd probably be more aggressive about it if I had Oprah money.

people get this entitlement thing going on when they see people with more than them. if i ever came into a crazy amount of money, i'm not telling nobody but my wife & my accountant...

I mean, I can understand saying no but you sound indignant about it.

sounds like fambam never really jived with you like that before asking for the laptop
and since you said "no." still hasnt tried to make a connection between yall

hooked them up with some books for college
they fucked their grades off
wasn't communicating with me at all the entire school year
but comes in the summer and asks me to pay for summer school at a JuCo
i was like nigga you cray!


dont come around or call me only when you need something

they would have to find out through Forbes or something

and if they asked about money I'd say it was already invested

basically I'd live modestly

"Hey Eric is in St Barts again?? Thats the 3rd time this year.........WAIT A MINUTE"

start rockin burner phones

i wont be able to be contacted but i'll still know how to get in contact with those needed

if i hit the powerball i wouldnt tell nobody

still keep living my same lifestyle just upgrade it a lot
wont go to work i'll just lie and tell ppl my consulting biz is poppin like that
it's giggin now but not like thaaaaaat

but had like 6 stories underground with the most lavish shit imaginable.

build me a beach house.
but this piece of land: http://www.cubeauctions.com/view.php?id=110

and build a simple yet BAD house on it and have a ball
yeah, i dont need much
just have condos spread out around the USA

if i hit like $180MM in the powerball i'd give $100MM away to fund various educational programs
and stack the rest for my great-great-great grandkids' great-great-great grandkids


>but had like 6 stories underground with the most lavish shit
>imaginable.

lotta rich cats are just bad judges of character

I think i could handle it, and shut people down, and help people when needed, logically, and responsibly

but you never know until you are that rich,or that famous

fuck off

.... Let all 300,000+ of my investment hit $500 per coin and they will not know I exist. My biggest issue is how quickly to pay taxes. I'd pay them off one at a time and disappear. Forreal fuck balling and all that although I might go to NYC and hit the spot with the organic general tso's chicken.

of the convo is how much money we have to spend to get the rest of our fam to feel like we've broken them off with enough.

Super villain spreads be having purposeful killer animals

Really though I have thought about his as well and, on a VERY SMALL SCALE, lived it and seen other people live it on a larger scale.

A couple of my uncles are pretty loaded (hasn't helped me any) and they seemed to go through sort of a round of buyouts. Basically doing one big favor for people and then sort of distancing themselves from them. One of them "loaned" his brother, who lived overseas, $50K and told me "If that's all I have to pay to never have him bother me again, I got off cheap." That was pretty cold, I thought.

A good friend's sister is very, very rich now. She is worth a couple hundred mil and growing, has a very successful career and a very successful company (two separate endeavors). She has handled it with a lot of class and decisively, I must say. Very open and cool where she can be, but very clear and direct in who she spends her time on/with.

I know a guy whose dad owed a bunch of coal mines and shit. Also loaded, tens of millions at least. What a weird ass situation. Just the stuff within his family alone gave me pause about being that rich. But I think mental illness also played a big role, plus the nature in which he made his fortune. Kind of an outlier. I don't feel like he handled things particularly well, but it was a tough situation and a damn near bottomless pit of money, so ...

that's where i'm at with it...

do you think his AAU coach would GAF about him if he was a pastor, or a supervisor at a call center, or a parole officer or something?

If he called on some, you made me want to give to the community the way you gave to me. Depends on the relationship, I reckon.

It's that "let me stay close to this dude, he could be big someday" thing.

a phone call or visit from a superstar could change a young man's life
