Earned??? They earned nothing. They skimmed, they scammed, they looted, they inflated the cost of everything we use. Finance is not an industry. They produce nothing. They earn nothing.

I don’t watch tv anymore ’cause of shows like this one. Who wants to see shows that trumpet the “lifestyle” of crooks and perverts with big bucks anyway?
I couldn’t watch the whole thing.
Didn’t need to.
These are just thieves. They are grotesque.

What sort of taxes do these people pay?
Is there a significant trickle down effect?
If you have money in a mutual fund, or any speculative retirement fund, you have put money into the pockets of these people.
How many million$ does a person need? (I’m not a Marxist, but philosophically speaking, just how many million$ does a person need?)
They can’t take it with them…
Really can not call these people “tycoons” in that they merely manipulate currency and values for useful items, they do not produce anything.
Live simply and you will have less to account for when you arrive for your debriefing.

Since research has shown an unprecendented amount of sociopathy in these circles, it is not supprising that they would define success in this way… It seems universaly popular these days anyway.
Twice, a son from a family with hundreds of millions of dollars visited my family, and both times ended up crying, because they see things money can’t buy – like quality human relations!
“these people can basically have anything they want – they are only limited by their imaginations”
-spoken like a true sociopath! The faggot commantaters, spilling the juicy details on the buildings make it worthwhile though
F**k these leaches, and the people they buy, theirs is a miserable existance.

Not sure why so many people are mad at them for the way they spend money. Their just living within their means, they just know how to expend it and account for it. Any body can open a hedge fund and become a manager, you need a lot to start it but managing it will bring great success. These managers are just good with simple numbers which brings alone money management and position sizing. They get paid off fees and if they grow the accounts they make extra in bonuses. Everybody can make money in the markets, but don’t know how, so they pay them.
The ones you really need to worry about is the banks who prey on people who don’t know how to manage money….

This is so awfully obscene it hurts to watch!I really wonder how these guys calm their conscious coz’ i would be outright embarressed making this kind of money.I mean howmuch does one person need ? they wanna be rich okay but FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILLION in a year,come on get real…There ought to be a rule that says that you cant ‘earn’ more than , let’s say, 250 Mio per year which is in itself ridiculously much but i guess some just cant get no satisfaction no matter how much they get.Those guys should be forced to live in rural asia or africa for a month or two,living off an average local income.I bet they would come back much humbler men.

How much pressure do you think these guys have on them? These guys worry more about other people’s money than they do their lives… Their success comes from the sacrifices they made early in life when their jobs required them to work 100+ hours per week… Nobody works longer hours than people in the financial markets… What, you people have your 401ks and IRA acounts to worry about and get frustrated with sub-par performance, but these guys are given millions to do what you can’t; successfully manage your money. Don’t point the finger at them and say they caused the financial crisis when the government both promoted it and forced it through too-low of interest rates and incentives to companies. If you all spent your time actually trying to understand the situation we went through with the financial crisis instead of trying to find a scapegoat for your unemployment, you can make money profiting in this type of market.

Saying the financial industry is not an industry is denying the fact that it provides the most vital service of financing. Innovation, economic growth, and your prosperity all rely on this service. Your ignorance is creating a double standard. You are OK with investing your money in hopes of saving for the future, whether it’s a savings account, stocks, or bonds. If some people feel like there is an opportunity for them to create wealth, why would they also not take it? Tiger Woods is the first athlete to earn $1 billion, yet what good for humanity has he done? He and dozens of other athletes live the life of the super rich and have unbelievable luxuries, as in all industries… the best are rewarded….

Fortunately or unfortunately, I’m in the fianancial industry. I’m a stockbroker. What ever we get we’ve earned. We work very had. We dont have the normal life like any body else. Life is not about money, its about get time to socialise, we dont have that time. Our day starts at 5:00am to 00:00 am. Who ever thinks we are thieves is being misinformed.I think we should discuss how is every rich person is giving back to the community. To be rich is not a crime. The videos like this are meant to motivate people.

51,000 sqft house all for yourself. That’s a lot of ego.
The narrators voice is too annoying for me to keep watching, and frankly I don’t really care. I live in a 1,200 sqft condo and it’s more space than I need. I wouldn’t mind a private pool though

It is frusrating to see so much luxury and wastage by a few when so many die everyday out of hunger. I believe if the cumulative wastage of some few billionaire were tapped for poverty reduction, our planet would have been a beatiful place for all human
