It’s crazy how all these cacs get labeled as self made billionaires when none of them are

[BrothaZay]

Maybe white people and black people have a different definition of self made




All them rich cacs had help



As much as we hate diddy and some other hip hop moguls Atleast them nikkas actually got it completely out the mud

GETTING A LOAN IS STILL SELF MADE.

I DON'T THINK ITS POSSIBLE TO GET THAT FAR WITHOUT A LOAN.

A one million dollar loan is not self made. Df you on

A one million dollar loan is not self made. Df you on

And one million in 1965 was more like ten million today.

They not just handing out 1 million dollar loans to every Tom d1ck and Harry. Especially when it’s a child asking for it. In this case, dudes family was apparently well connected. 1 million dollars back in those days was probably 15 million in todays dollars.

He didn't go to his local small business administration for that kinda money.


Also, you must ask "what kind of collateral does this dude's family have for their son to get multiple million dollar loans while still in college as a 22yr old?" . Cause you dont give out that much cash based on a hand shake.

Good point. No one is seeing someone get a $10,000,000 loan then calling them “self made “

It ain’t hating it’s just facts. All the black billionaires in America literally did start from 0.

Agree, but there are a lot of billionaires I don’t consider’self-made’, not dismissing what they accomplished, but it’s all perspective. Especially when you notice a good portion of them fumbling their first bag. But it is what it is.. it’s the game. It ain’t fair, but life ain’t lol

 

[jerzboy]

Also, if you have a financial crutch in life, ie ur family, the way you move in life is completely different. You see it differently. You take more chances. Shyts a cheat code lol

 

[jerzboy]

And, I’m not saying anybody can do what JJ did. That’s why I’ll never dismiss folks like him who
“turn eight to twenty, twenty to a hunnid, hunnid to a thousand
That to a hunnid thousand (thousand), in front of housin' (housin')”

Always some poor dumb negro looking to ass kiss some old white man

 

[Elim Garak]

I agree

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

1 MILLION DOLLAR LOAN HAS TO BE PAID BACK.

IF HE GOT GIFTED 1 MILLION THATS A DIFFERENT STORY. CONNECTIONS ARE BUILT. IF HE LEVERAGED CONNECTIONS TO GET THAT LOAN, HE STILL HAD TO BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS.

IF HIS MOMMA GAVE HIM 15 MILLION OR HE INHERITED 15 MIL, THAT AINT SELF MADE. HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO GET IT AND DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY IT BACK.

NOT SURE WHAT METRICS Y'ALL USING...

Self Made

Dad just pulled a few strings to get me into Rice University. Pulled strings to get me an intership at [insert big finance company]. Pulled strings to "help" me secure $10 million in financing for my first business. Pulled strings to get me in front of biillion.....umm.....mentors. Just typical things a father does for his son
