    I honestly wonder at a certain point the human brain switches back into a scarcity mindset once you hit the point beyond which the sums are fathomable anymore. For instance, for most of us, when we hear about 800c000 dollars, the brain goes “Hey, that’s a lot of money”, but I wonder if someone who has 8 million thinks at some level “whoa, I only have 8 of something—best be careful with it!!”

    Foley was once worth $1.9 billion, according to Bloomberg, but left the company with a net worth of $225 million.

    Jeez, the poor guy… only $225 mill… how do you go on living when you’ve sunk that low? /s

      I also lost all my money and had to sell my possessions, but like literally. $ 0 ( zero ) left, that’s what i understand, when i hear or say loosing all my money.

      Foley should eat a bag of foul foley.

      I’ve done the math. I could live my entire life without working (except for fun) on $6 million. This MF has $225 million and describes it as losing all his money.

      Fuck that guy.

        How could anyone last a week like that? Absolutely abandoned by society, that man is.

          Tell me about it. I bet he can’t even just walk out onto the helipad and fly to work, he probably has to have a chauffeur drive him through TRAFFIC.

    Sounds like he was living beyond his means. Maybe he should have not bought an iPhone, had avocado toast, and had Starbucks all the time. He can pick himself up by his bootstraps.

    (Yeah, I know he’s still worth a couple hundred mil. Smallest fiddle for him.)
