    I’ll never understand spending that money like that instead of helping kids with cancer.

    Probably one of the several reasons why I am not rich.

      You know spending money doesn’t make it vanish into the air right? Someone else has the 6.2 million, and it can still help kids with cancer.

        I never thought I’d ever see someone argue against helping kids with cancer DIRECTLY when we have excess in the palm our hands, and yet here we are.

          You’re mad at the wrong person. He only has a banana. The banana “artist” has $6.2 million now. Why aren’t they helping kids with cancer? I suggest you go yell at them.

            Do you think someone spends $6.2 million on fruit if they don’t have an extra few million? He had $6.2 million at MINIMUM, and he chose to eat a banana instead of healing children.

            I think it’s perfectly fair to be mad at a person for the actions they took.

        Some gifter who managed to convince the world that a banana was worth 6.2 million dollars has that money. They won’t be helping anyone but themselves.

        I hope crypto-bro stole that 6.2 million from a cartel, and his next video involves people with machetes showing him how they feel about it.

          It’s even worse than that. The banana isn’t the actual thing valued at that price. It’s the exhibit, an abstract arbitrary concept. The banana and duct tape get replaced periodically. This person is just eating a banana for the attention.
