Sooooo.... Biden is richer and more successful than Trump?

Last edited Mon Sep 28, 2020, 12:30 PM - Edit history (1)




Carry on!


Edited to add:

The dude inherited $400+ million in the sixties or whatever, that's worth something like $1.5 billion nowadays.

All he had to do was keep his lifestyle at less than $100k per week, and it would have lasted 77 years EVEN IF HE GOT ZERO INTEREST AND MADE NO MONEY DOING ANYTHING ELSE.

What a dumbass!

Now Trump has always known that but it must really burn Trump's butt that now
all of America knows that.

"The Apprentice" was just Russian paid for propaganda selling America that Trump
was an all powerful business genius instead a failed businessman.

indicating their net worth--somewhat similar to the scoreboards that they have in Jeopardy. Trump could select the category "The Man With Three Wives" to hit the Daily Double and bet it all thinking that it was all about his narcissistic self, while the category was actually about the movie starring Beau Bridges made in 1993.

Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaner_Weerstandsbeweging

The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, meaning Afrikaner Resistance Movement, commonly known by its abbreviation AWB, is an Afrikaner nationalist, neo-Nazi, and white supremacist political party and paramilitary organisation active in South Africa. Since its founding in 1973 by Eugène Terre'Blanche and six other far-right Afrikaners, it has been dedicated to secessionist Afrikaner nationalism and the creation of an independent Boer-Afrikaner republic or "Volkstaat/Boerestaat" in part of South Africa. During bilateral negotiations to end apartheid in the early 1990s, the organisation terrorised and killed black South Africans.

Biden is an honorable, compassionate man. The apricot hell beast is a lying despicable con man. Biden’s wealth is spiritual as well as material.

I remember Gore and the Clintons got beat up pretty badly for their financial success.

Now it's a good thing, right?

I don't think Biden cracks the Fortune 500, and it looks like his net worth is actually, yanno, positive.

Hell, at this point I might be richer than Trump. I have *maybe* $210k in loans total, and some assets, so I may have a negative net worth, but it's a hell of a lot smaller than his!

I'm not sure how you clear 10 mil with less poor or upper-middle-class finances.

But hey, I'm poor, white, trash; so wtf I know.
