Hilarious

But at the same time this does appear to be an invasion of privacy. What was the guy with the camera doing?? On the prowl??

Kind of troubling.

Double thread. Please expunge this. Miss-spelling.

Inherited wealth of these proportions seems to create ghastly entitled offspring. I think this demonstrates why inherited wealth should be limited somewhat, although how one would do it I have no idea, but there should be some way to stop such huge amounts of money being held by such tiny proportions of the population who simply come by it because they are born. If anyone think this brat 'earned' this money, I would ask, exactly how?

I have absolutely no idea how you stop people from making videos in public streets of whatever they want to. Yes, this shows only one side of this person, and I am sure he has some super endearing qualities and he may well feel aggrieved that this is how the world sees him, but actually, he is making it worse by this threat of legal action. Why didn't he just go to ground and allow the story to sink into obscurity as it most undoubtedly would have?

Never heard of this guy, and I have lived here for decades.

What do you suggest? Take it from some trust fund brat you do not think "deserves" it and give it to someone else, who clearly did not earn it? That is just? Pul-leeze.

[Jacque67 7,328]

Yeah. He's from NJ, his father in the garment biz- lol- explains a lot;)

I thought him very typical of a type. Can't tell you the number of people I have met whom have been rumoured to own half of Manhattan !!

How does one deserve inherited wealth? Being born doesn't strike me as much of an achievement. Perhaps, in your world being born is an achievement if your parents are rich.

It's the epitome of entitlement. Whether one can do anything about it or not. Your definitions of entitled seem to change depending on the wealth of the person you are talking about. Hypocritical much.

You really do draw the most ridiculous conclusions out of the most innocuous things.

Well he claimed never have to have heard of the guy even though he lives in NY. Must be the outskirts coz everyone in Manhattan knows this mover and shaker!

[Jacque67 7,328]

On another note, I find it cute that this heir apparent appears to like to go slumming at DunkinDonuts !!!

Big democrat party donors.

There are plenty of mediocre rich people. That does not mean they do not deserve their wealth, whether it was inherited or "earned". Who are you to decide? It also certainly does not mean some complete stranger, who may or may not be accomplished, is "entitled" (your word) to ANY of the wealth of that unaccomplished, mediocre person. Are you saying a complete stranger is more entitled to family wealth than the spouse, son, daughter, etc. of that rich person?

This outlook only fosters resentment and jealousy. Better for all of us to channel that negative energy into improving ourselves. BTW, I did not know there was an achievement threshold for redistributors like you.

Your last two sentences do not make sense to me, but maybe they do not (and should not) pertain to me.
