Facebook's Future Is Actually in the $300 T-Shirt Mark Zuckerberg Didn't Wear

The rich are just as flambouyant as the pretenders, the only difference is they cna afford it so let's put the myth that billionaires are out here wearing cheap clothes,shoes and living frugally to rest.

to him, that’s like a Hane’s t-shirt


$300< $3000+ which is what most of these celebrities don

Bill Gates gets sand flown into his private beach that’s frugal?

I think the idea of this "myth" is being misconstrued. At the heart of the message is people shouldn't be overspending (clothes, cars, food, etc.), and especially not for the sole purpose of impressing people.

Some people are materialistic though and do not do it to impress or show for others. They like what they like and that is okay.

Buy what you can afford to buy.

Let me guess, this was made by someone not anywhere near as rich as Zuckerberg and Gates to justify the poor spending habits of the upper middle class. Basically because the literal richest people in the world are not always penny penching for their collared shirts, that means you should YOLO that $15k in the Gucci store.

Depraved clowns.

While I agree, you'll notice that a lot of the "materialistic" purchases are based off of what's trendy or what is considered to be a luxury. You seldomly see people showing off something old.

Did you really just make a thread about a billionaire buying a $300 shirt as evidence of him not being frugal?

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

You literally have to spend it or the government takes it. It would be foolish not to.

Y’all should download the app “Mr Porter” and look at the clothing and prices on there… who y’all think is buying this?

Edit: people who think that shyt never walked into a barneys (rip) bergdorf or saks in their life.
