I'm sick of this billionaire comment.
1. A friend of mine in university was from a billionaire family and would tell us how important money was to her father and grandfather. In fact, they had the nicest house, cars etc but they would hate buying these things because they'd rather invest it in something else and make more money.
2. You have someone like Bill Gates who is 'rumored' to be quite cheap (Even though I don't believe it because of his charity work). You have someone like Beal who specifically stated that he was annoyed in losing that much money against the pros in Vegas etc.
3. You guys can't compare $1b to $1,000...somebody said its like having $1000 and only losing $5. Well, $5+$5+$5 adds up. The fact that the billionaire loses it in a card game as well makes it even more worrying and annoying
You guys don't have $1b so don't try to pretend like you understand how losing $5m feels. Its a lot regardless of how much your worth.
