Billionaire unhappy with his billions.

While some of you do have some valid points, there's a lot of immature minds in this thread.

A 100k bonus is a slap in the face for a 20 person company that sold for 2.5 billion

He gave them that money two whole years before the company was sold to m=Microsoft. That 3 million dollars was not a bonus from the sell. It was a bonus just because he wanted to give them money (it was his stock dividend money from 2012 and happened in 2012). He sold mojang to Microsoft in 2014.

He didn't owe them anything but was giving them extra money before he even became a billionaire.

This is an example of why you don't give people free money. They feel entitled to more.

Mo money; mo problems, and mo people with their hands out.

I disagree

If you sell a company for 3 billion then you need to break off your staff....pause

The poor put too much value on money

Thats why its always ironic when poor folk say rich ppl are money hungry when they are if not more money hungry

Ppl who finally get the riches realize what they spent their whole lives tryna attain is simply not the source of joy they thought it would be
The fact they didnt have made them want to have and when they finally got, they realized they aint really get sht

But ya poor folk wont know until they get it so no use telling em what it is..let em get it and they'll know the truth

The thing is...yall are making it seem like that 3 million dollars he gave them was from the billion dollar Microsoft deal. He was already breaking them off before he became a billionaire.

He owed them nothing and the narrative y'all are spinning about him only giving them 3 million from a billion dollar deal is just false. He did that years before and who knows what happened after that. He owes them nada.

You know what they say though. No good deed goes unpunished. He is being criticized for not giving away enough free money when most CEOs keep their bonuses and he was giving it away.

The problem with getting everything is you run out of reasons to keep trying, and human interaction becomes impossible due to imbalance.

^^wow just read and take a step back..think about what he is just wrote. Gotdamn..he can't even interact with fellow humans due to his lavish insane lifestyle..his blood isn't red anymore.

So what would you have given them after selling for 3 billion?

It honestly depends who it is, how much they contributed (both financially and intellectually), and when they came on. Also, I'd more than likely invest in their business ideas not give away money just to give it away.

Also, why do you keep talking about the 3 billion? The money in question is from when he was just a millionaire. How much do you expect a millionaire (who is not at all required to give away free money) to give away?

 

[SouthernBelle]

How much has he given them after selling for 3 billion?

I don't know. Ask him.

I know about the other stuff because it was reported in the news (Idk if any other CEO had done such a thing so it was pretty big news for a CEO to just give away millions to employees).

I don't expect a millionaire to give away a ton of money

I do expect a billionaire to gget be away a ton of money

That's what you expect. He already gave them millions, who knows what happened between then (2012 he pass out the first 3 million to them) and 2014 when he sold the company. Maybe he gave them MORE money (since he had ALREADY given them some) and maybe he didn't. The things is, it's HIS money. NO ONE else is entitled to it and I wouldn't be surprised if ALL of them had the opportunity to get early stock options/ownership (just like that painter at Facebook who got stock options and ended up a millionaire just for doing art work at the conception of fb).

A man who gave away 3 million to his team just because he wanted to share probably has so problem giving them more especially if they were still on good terms during the sell 2 years later.

Winning the lottery is a different circumstance than, say selling off a company. I've read a ton of stories of ducking fumbasses literally winning hundreds of millions and squandering it all in under a decade, and in everyone of those stories, they always do absolutely stupid shyt. Here's the things that most notably stood out;

-continuing to work at your blue-collar/middle class white collar job thinking things can just continue the way they've always been.

-not keeping your money in the bank or investing it wisely. There was a fukktard that carried his money around with him in a brief case and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars per night "making it rain" at strip clubs. He didn't trust banks and people kept breaking into his home and stealing shyt and he was too stubborn to move so he always carried his money with him.

-buying an onslaught of depreciating assets with no steady income to pay for any of it. dumbasses that buy entire car lots full of supercars and monster mansions in cash not realizing that you have to register those cars and have them insured and even if you pay for a $30million dollar home in cash you still get raped in property taxes as well as buying shyt to fill up the house. Plus with a house that big you'd have to hire a butler or maid to maintain upkeep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally, I have a plan in the event I win the lottery;

-I wouldn't tell a god damn soul.

-I wouldn't quit my job outright because that would raise suspicion. I'd put in my 2-weeks notice and continue working as if my life hasn't changed. Yeah, it would be the longest 2 weeks of my life, but after those two weeks, i'd never be obligated to work another day in my life.

-during those two weeks i'd spend any and all free time searching for an investment advisor that can help me manage my money. To make sure he's legit i'd have to find this individual out of state so that there's no vested interest and very little chance to get swindled.

-i'd get a new phone and number because as soon as people start finding out I won, my text messages, and sob story phone calls would explode.If I want to get in contact with someone, i'll call them, they won't call me.

-I'd move out of the state. So, i'd make sure all of my "ducks are in a row" and on the day I get the lottery winnings I'd do it first thing in the morning, do that mandatory PR-interview and by the time that shyt airs on the local news I would be long gone out of the state.

-I'd set aside a "fukk-It" fund which is a specific amount of money from my lump sum that i'd blow on absolute frivolous shyt....you know, just to get it out of my system.

-afterwards i'd talk to my close friends and family individually and give them amounts based on their debts and their points in life (whether they're new home owners about to retire have a baby on the way etc)....and if they think there's some second cousin twice removed that deserves some of my money then they can take it out of the sum of money that I give them.

I don't know if you knew this but lottery money is essentially public money so your name is, quite literally, plastered everywhere so people can know who you are. You won't have that provacy, unless you move to a different country or something
