Very true about most corporations.
You should watch it though, he’s the nicest one of the bunch that gets followed and at least one other kid gives a glimpse of what they think of the peasants.
I believe the parents of one of the other kids own some casinos abroad, he’s arrogant as hell and tells people he could buy them with his wealth. He says so many arrogant things that he eventually stops filming and has an attorney send notice that they’ll be sued if they use any footage.
Too bad he’s 18 and signed a waiver, they still air him.
Exceptions to every rule. I know a kid who’s parents have huge money from a well known corporate conglomerate that is about as down to earth as can be and is content with a life on the beach selling t-shirts to get by. His siblings are of the other variety. That’s not to say though that if shit were to go south on him he’d have to suffer much if he didn’t want to. Having a golden parachute to pull the rip cord on I’m sure helps with his having what seems to be a most carefree and humble life. While I like the guy, there’s an “air” about him that makes me keep my distance.
I’ll look for the documentary, I’m sure it’s one they hope would just disappear!
There’s always exceptions to the rule. I believe one of the kids was doing this for a college class project and didn’t know it would get so much attention from his professor and eventually released. But this is his group of friends that he had went to private high school with on the east coast.
One of the major corps I worked at for a short time after leaving the military is an amazing company, the kids didn’t get into the business and the whole family including the other founders family are completely down to earth but that’s first generation money.
They’re worth billions I see the son online, he started a winery but as you say has an air about him. It doesn’t matter if he turns a profit or there’s a drought he can just wait until next season. The two founders are “classic liberals” I know that at least the son is more on the liberal side and got to know the big shots in Silicon Valley and he seems to have changed and just has a vibe about him now, I can’t explain it.
