Did I hear him say that a 6 by 10 foot shooter is bigger than most bedrooms?
Terrance Watanabe is just an example on how no matter how stupid an "heir" is they will never face what is like to be worried about next month rent. While a smart hard working person can have their life wreck by medical bills or one mistake.
The story about the guy getting kidnapped, there is a movie based on it called "All the Money in the World"
It is an insainly good movie, worth you time to watch for sure.
I'm not surprised the guy kept gambling. There's studies that found that because the ultra wealthy never have to struggle for anything they believe themselves to be more competent than other people. It never occurred to him for a second that he could be a complete fuck up because he was never allowed to completely fuck up in his life.

For the Yacht story: It isn't illegal for the rich guy to not hire someone with glasses. He isn't hiring someone for a business, he is hiring someone to take care of his personal property and/or home. He can discriminate all he likes. He might be an a%# for it, but it isn't illegal. If he was hiring for a business, then it would be illegal unless there are safety concerns/regulations.
I never worked for the super wealthy but have a childhood friend who became super wealthy. She is a brilliant woman who worked her butt off to get where she was in life and also married well. She has still remained humble I assume because she wasn't born into wealth like her husband's family. Anyway, she invited me to come with her on a vacation up north with her and his family. I was grateful to go and really wanted to spend time with her but his family acted like she was doing a charity by inviting me and would ask me to do things for them like I was the help. I didn't mind doing some stuff until it became obvious they saw me as beneath them. Everything that we did they would make little comments like I bet this food is a lot better than the hamburger helper you probably eat for dinner everynight or I bet you have never been on a boat like this. Have you ever been on a boat before? Or trying to guess how much I paid for mu clothes and laughing. At first, it felt like they were just trying to see things through my eyes but were knocking me at the same time. I can't remember all the comments they made but I noticed they didn't talk to me the same way as they did when she was around. I didn't want to make waves considering those were her in-laws. So I kept quite about it and tried to stay by her side at all times.
The 2nd night we were at dinner and she went to introduce me to his Grandfather whom I had already met but she didn't know. He was really nice. He was already talking to me and was apologizing for how his Grandchildren were treating me saying that they don't treat their other employees like they were me and said they weren't raised to be that way. (He had overheard them earlier in the day commenting on my clothes and my weight as they were asking me to do things for them.) My friend was really uspet. She told him that I didn't work for them and that I was her friend and there as a guest. He got upset as well and said he decided to make some changes. For the record, her husband was nothing but nice to me and it was his younger siblings who had treated me that way. He husband worked just as hard as she did but his siblings lived off of the family money and didn't work. So the Grandpa decided that they needed to understand what it was like to earn their money. I don't know what he said to them but they were nice to me for the rest of the trip and I got to fly with my friend, her husband, and his Grandpa home on the company's pj. I had rented a car and drove up there so he arranged to have the rental car taken back. I think the grandkids had arrvied in the jet but definitely didn't leave in it. I'm not sure how they got home. The trip ended up being great and the Grandpa said I was welcome to join them on any family vacation they go to in the future and that he would make sure my expenses were covered if I wanted to go. I thanked him for the open invitation but haven't been on a trip with them since. I kinda worry that my friend's husband's siblings might be pissed at me for whatever punishment they had to deal with from their Grandpa but I would like to go on another trip to spend time with my friend. She works a lot and we don't get much time to spend together and if I do I would want it to be a trip like that one where I could afford to pay for myself. I wouldn't have accepted the ride in the jet if they weren't already going to the same place but I was but was glad I did because I had never been in one before and it was a nice experience. My friend and her husband have apologized many times to me but I didn't think it was necessary. They didn't do anything wrong. I am just glad to know that money hasn't changed my friend. She is still as sweet and caring as she always has been.
When my wife and I got married I already owned a small house. My in laws. Thought it was nice but too small for children. So they bought us a new much larger house.
My FIL loved working the yard and garden. When we visited I would frequently cut the grass and help outside. He always tried to pay me but I refused each time.
When they passed they left half the estate to my wife and half to me. We were married and still are. So the estate is still intact.
On the gambling one. My dad won 25k on a scratch off ticket. Went to Vegas and lost it all on the tables there. If he has cash in his hand and he's in a casino he will play till it's all gone. He can have 100k but he will keep going until it's all gone.
Needing glasses is definitely a disability!! It is (for the most part) supported by accommodations, but it doesn’t make it not a disability just because it’s common. After all if your functioning is impaired without the extra tool, it would be disabling!
I do want to go on the record to say that needing glasses IS still very much a disability, as without them our vision is severely impaired. It's just heavily normalized, in a way that most disabilities are not, but really should be wrt to reasonable accommodation (could still be better, tho; you can find cheap frames okay, or so I've heard, but the real expense comes from the lenses themselves, depending on prescription and also if you want them fixed up in any way- anti-glare, tinted, scratch resistant, that sort of thing). Honestly it's a little weird that the rich guy in 7:05 considered it as much at all, since as you said, most people don't think of it that way anymore. Unfortunately he used it as an excuse to be an even bigger douchecanoe than he probably already is…
What op meant by "These invites are not real."
I cannot see anything but vague shapes without my glasses and cannot do my hospital related job without them, so yes they are a disability. Just one that is prevalent enough that its easy to get required care, unlike most other disabilities, which needs to be fixed!!!

Ok the Massive wall story is actually pretty cool lol
A few years later:
My super rich friend bought a luxury penthouse apartment, but it had a weird pillar smack in the middle of the balcony. Turns out, he can't remove it, because it would compromise the integrity of the pool in the apartment above. So, he bought the apartment above, and removed the pool entirely, then sold it off privately.
Also, I wear glasses. I would consider my glasses-less vision pretty disabling, if I'm being honest. Not that I'm going to get de-glasses'd, but if I was while driving, I would probably die. Or pull over until I can find my glasses or someone comes to help. The dude's not right to refuse the guy because he wears glasses, obviously, but at the same time I wouldn't call it ~not~ a disability, just… an incredibly mild one.
actually, a disability is roughly anything that negatively impacts your daily life, or makes it more of a challenge, or that needs extra accommodation. needing glasses is widely considered a disability, and it's one of the most common ones there is! and if you don't have the money for your aid (glasses or contacts), your quality of life is a lot worse off. so yes, bad vision is a disability, even if it's a comparatively minor and very common one.
One thing I got from the video is that there aren't enough female CEOs.
People throwing around life-changing amounts of money without a second thought.
Regarding the glasses disability, just for your awareness I’d count it as a disability. I think the reason you’re not wanting to call it a disability is because disabilities are seen as a negative. But we need to change how we perceive that. There’s nothing wrong with wearing glasses there is also nothing wrong with having a disability. Colour blindness hearing impaired (I don’t mean deaf) both count as disability but people can still hear with hearing aids which is like glasses for your ears.
Lastly I’ll point something out that I thought was very interesting that a colleague brought up to me from the perspective of someone with a disability, making things accessible is not that expensive. We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on electricity for lighting in a work building but lights are useless to those who are blind. We are accommodating and make work accessible for peoples without disabilities we should be willing to do the same for those who need special accommodations for those with disabilities.

I did my master's project in a very, very well funded research group. I'm talking about 50-100X more money than the average research group. The group was in a small department with 2 other equally well-funded groups. During a department meeting we were discussing tables for the lunch room, we needed a few more. Turns out that the department, when it was built, had accidentally bought custom-made tables for $1000 a piece without realizing. Now they were talking about buying another 4-5 tables at the same price. My PI even said "$5k isn't that much money."
They also very kindly agreed to pay for a poster I made for a conference. When I asked how much they were willing to fork out I got the reply "Anything under $100k is fine." The poster was $50.
I used to live in a super wealthy neighborhood. The house I lived in was a big 4 floor villa, I rented an apartment on the basement floor. I had my own entrance and patio, where I kept a few buckets of tomato plants. When my landlords saw my tomatoes they offered to buy me supplies to build a whole kitchen garden, including raised beds and soil, which I gladly accepted.
What I loved most about living in that neighborhood were all the big trees. The streets were lined with huge oaks and beeches that were full of birds. The trees would stretch over the road and almost create a canopy roof. There were so many birds, it was almost like walking in a jungle.
Some of these are wholesome. I've experienced work for the higher class and it wasn't the most pleasant. Don't get me wrong, I've had encounters with friendly people who visit the place where as the owner of the estate created an environment which has seen a high turn over of staff and they could never able to understand why so many staff leave. The house staff being the highest and one poor lass ran out of the grounds in tears because she got a spray for not stacking CD's properly.
I saw while doing pest control someone who had a play village like play houses but for kids and a village like post office mayors office fire fighters police etc
Bro it boggles my mind that rich people carelessly throw money around just because they can. Not to say it's a bad thing to have lots of money, but responsibly managing it could be easy for anyone; especially the majority of us who don't have a lot. I just wish that wealth was fairly distributed to where people can live comfortably. it was nice to see that these people weren't the nasty stuck up entitled rich kind I was low key expecting.
Ok, the medieval style wall with crenulations sounds awesome!
If you need corrrective glassses you are disabled~
And that isn't an insult, it's just a medical fact, and most people with glasses are fully aware of that.
If it weren't, health insurance wouldn't ever cover glasses either~
And those can be expensive!
And I don't understand your aversion, it makes you sound like you think of disabled people as inferior people…
Welcome to the life of the rich and duch bags. Granted there were some nice people in here, but there were some really crappy people.
Ask reddit? From R/? That's a first.
HOLY S**T 😳😲😲😲😱😱😱😱😱 These people have more money than common sense….
This was the perfect episode to play just as my edible kicked in, beautiful.
Fun story: I once lost my glasses and asked my teacher if I could move from the back of the class to the front until I got new ones and she refused because I didn't have "needs glasses" listed as a disability on my student information
