Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist
Draupnir@lemmy.world 1 day agoJohn Paul DeJoria: Born to immigrant parents in Los Angeles, DeJoria faced early adversity when his parents divorced, leading him to live in a foster home at age two. By nine, he was selling newspapers and Christmas cards to help support his family. After periods of homelessness and working odd jobs like janitor and door-to-door shampoo salesman, he co-founded John Paul Mitchell Systems in 1980 with just $700. Later, he launched Patrón Tequila, revolutionizing the premium tequila market. His net worth stands at around $4 billion, per Forbes, a testament to his self-made journey.

Someone want to break the bad news to this guy that it’s not 1980 anymore and hasn’t been 45 years? You cannot become a “self made” billionaire in 2025 because the current billionaires want that money for themselves. Keep drinking the kool-aid like the billionaire class wants though, it’s how they make more money off of your back.
