    Imagine going at Bill Maher and focusing on a lack of success 🤦🏻

    The dude is an insufferable prick with political stances from the 80s and always going for the smugness world record, yet he’s had his own show at a ridiculously high wage for decades and is a hectomillionaire.

    I guess Trump can’t attack Maher for that, though, since he shares most of those qualities.

    And no, I didn’t read on after the first mention of Maher. I very rarely do.

      Never seen the hecto- prefix used in the wild before. Definitely going to start using that too, I’ve always hated the nonspecificity in multi-millionaire.

        Yeah, me too! A net worth of $3 million technically makes you a multi-millionaire, but I’m pretty sure that’s upper middle class money by now.

        Conversely, $100+ millions is much more than any reasonable person can possibly spend in a lifetime. It’s only a tenth of a billion, but it’s effectively the same category of wealth: dragon’s hoard that is harmful to both society and the person with it.
