Like the fuck? Does this dude not have like a wealth manager screaming at him to sell the two extremely valuable properties he's left derelict?

Why sell? They're both appreciating in value. He's made more money than most of us will make in our entire lives just letting those mansions rot.

Dang you got a point there.

But you could also like, rent them to rich people? He's got the money he could assign someone to deal with that.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He could, or he could do nothing. Both make him money.

Also I imagine renting to rich people is a bit more complicated than it is for you and I. A lot more real possibility of litigation than from us regular folks.

He has enough money that he's never needed to, and thus he won't.

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

True but he's also rich enough he could hire someone to deal with it for him. He probably already has such a guy.

The guy is probably blowing coke off of the bodies of sex workers. He couldn't give a fuck.

Very critical support for annoying rich people by letting his dumb mansions get ”graffiti-scarred” (normal)
