Meet Jeff Greene, poster boy for the 1% of the 1%:
Maybe he’s feeling a pinch. Of the five houses two are for sale, one was just sold, and the other two I guess he’s decided to keep.
I guess having just two mansions instead of five is his idea of a smaller lifestyle.
Seems like a nice enough guy.
Being rich isn’t pit worthy.
that is debatable
How about being rich and then making a statement that reveals you as a massive hypocritical asshole?
Because I did not see anyone pitting him for “being rich”
Great username/post combo!
Although pitting someone for being rich is kind of like pitting someone for being good looking (or, for being poor, as far as that goes).
Hey, you don’t have to walk the walk if the message is pure.
Thanks. Your Tu Quoque has successfully cancelled out Jeff Greene’s stupid statement.
Does this mean they are both idiots, or they are both committed to green ideals? I get confused.
INB4 “But what about Al Goooooooore???”
He’s not being the least bit hypocritical. He’s not taking a moral position that Americans should consume less for the public good, he’s observing that America is not dominating the global marketplace the way it used to, and that Americans should expect increasing competition and lower wage growth, and reduce their expectations accordingly, or they (well, we) will be dissatisfied and frustrated all the time. Greene already has a pile of money, and spending money he already has on a lifestyle he can easily afford is not at all contrary to his expressed views.
P.S. andros, you got ninja’d by Jackmannii
At this point, no more than six months in the Jane Fonda Self-Criticism and Aerobic Training Camp.
The link the OP used to demonstrate this guy is some sort of asshole reads like Lifestyles of the rich and famous. I could hear Robin Leach’s voice in my head as I was reading. The site has slideshows showing each of the rooms in each of his houses.
They say the guillotine is like that.
Nope, too late.
When contemplating the potential excesses of being uber rich I’ve never thought about having 23 bathrooms. I’m such a pleb. Just think, you could use a different one each day. Glorious.

This is one of those times
Ah, to be Enrst Stavo Blofeld, when Davos is in bloom.
Similies can be links, too.
:smack: Goddamn refresh.
Regardless, it’s a dipshit comparison. So, yanno…there’s that.
I’m a little confused about the rotating ballroom. Do the waltzers start and then it speeds up like an old-time gramophone at ever increasing rpm until they all fall down in a flurry of petticoats and penguin suits to the merry laughter of the manic host ?
