    (…) Foley was once worth $1.9 billion, according to Bloomberg, but left the company with a net worth of $225 million.

    (…)

    The ex-Peloton chief was forced to downsize twice—including selling a $55 million East Hampton waterfront home and uprooting his family.

    Though Foley has lost much of his fortune, the ordeal has not extinguished his ambition. Within a year of resigning from the top job at Peloton, he had raised $25 million for his new venture, a direct-to-consumer rug company called Ernesta.

    You know, my heart is not exactly bleeding for the guy. Nobody should even have a $55 million residence in the first place, fucking hell. Also, being left with only $225 million is hardly losing all your money, is it?

      $225m only generates an extremely conservative $9m year in interest. I know I couldn’t live off such a pittance. Please have sympathy for this poor man.
