she wealthier than all them cats combined. they just rich. rich means you can afford nice things. wealth means you can use your money to make things happen.
So what's stopping someone like Tristan Thompson from creating a 50,000 scholarship so a kid from the hood can have enough money to pay for a STEM degree?

she wealthier than all them cats combined. they just rich. rich means you can afford nice things. wealth means you can use your money to make things happen.

LeBron James alone can't donate millions to black causes by himself. But he has friends who are all millionaires (fellow basketball players). They can pool their resources together and collectively they can do things that a single billionaire can. Ditto for Jay-Z, Puffy, etc. They just choose not to.

Another thing they can do is setup an investment fund (VC, hedge fund, etc.) where all of the clients are rappers/athletes. And collectively they can all grow their money together and be rich for the rest of their lives. So that when their NBA/NFL contract is up they don't have to move back to the projects.

Even if you don't agree with some of these ideas they have to do SOMETHING.

P.G.
Perhaps I'm misreading her posts. But who is the "y'all" she's referring to?
SHE was the one seeming to complain about the last round of contributions going to the same set of schools.

Am I missing something or do people on social media suffer from serial amnesia?

Breh, I thought I might’ve been tripping, hence why I posted it with the hope someone could explain it to me.

/thread. The thing is that a lot of them don't think long term, or they limit their investments to music related ventures:francis:.
