I always appreciated those rich folks who, indeed, were paid but looking at them, you'd never think it. While the broke spent ridiculous amounts in an effort to "look" rich. Bass ackwards if you ask me. Mafukkas like Zuckerberg or Johnny Depp or David Chapelle, I look at them as regular dudes who feel that flaunting one's wealth is stupid. I ain't rich by any means but I am comfortable and sometimes dress bummy or less opulent because "Who the fukk am I trying to impress?" Plus, I find it amusing to go to stores and the various levels of shade being thrown simply because of the absence of conspicuous labels on my clothing.
Zuckerburg lives in San Francisco and drives an R8.
Dave Chappelle owns a multi-acre estate near Antioch College and he's clearly on steroids.
Johnny Depp is not only bi-costal, he also lives in France. On top of all that he dresses almost exclusively in high-end designer gear.
All three of the above mentioned are routinely in the media and thus maintain very manufactured public images.
Broke people kill me with this fantasy of hyper-frugal billionaires. My guess is that it's often brought up to save face and hide envy but never the less, it's a lie. Rich fvcks ball hard like any other human would if given the chance. The only ones living a miserly existence are those that have serious cases of OCD.
You people need to stop worrying about the next man and focus on you. If someone wants to floss, so be it. But trust me, as a black person you're constantly tasked with establishing your worth/status. Unlike white dudes who get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to appearance Black people get judged QUICKLY! I can't walk around expecting to be taken seriously while looking shabby. That's why I don't dress modestly. I need to eliminate any room the next man has to slight me or mistake me for something that I'm not. I don't need to explain myself to anyone, hell, the nicer I dress, the more people capitulate to my request.
I just bumped into Oprah in the park the other day. No joke (apparently she lives a few blocks away). The only reason I knew it was her was because she was wearing a gown made of terry cloth and she was holding a very expensive lap dog of some sort. If she was dressed like a bum she would have looked just like every other bum on the street. I bet she picks her clothes knowing this. I doubt she would get the "OMG IT'S OPRAH!" treatment she's accustomed to if she werent looking all strange and expensive.
Appearance matters… way more than you think. Make sure you're always at your best. You have no idea who is looking.
Everyone who hates on me on here is broke and in the ghetto. Funny pattern I noticed.
