Not sure if “ultra-rich” is the right label, since there are probably some of them who are good people, but I’m referring to the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc.

I’m just wondering: do people like them watch movies or TV shows, or read books? In so much of popular media, people like them (i.e. rich, powerful, unsympathetic) are usually cast as the villain.

If they have any self-awareness and do consume popular media, surely they would know they are (edit: seen as) the bad guys?

My guess is that they simply don’t consume popular media and instead wind down by doing cliche rich people activities (e.g. attend parties of only the rich, partake in expensive sports)

I tried doing a quick internet, but didn’t find an answer that confirms my thoughts, so I gave up and turned to Lemmy.

    Man…now you make me hopeful that Obama has seen the Game Grumps impression of Obama.

      Just imagine Biden watching PewDiePie…

      Obama seems like a guy who’d watch Calum, Peter Dibble, and Wendover Productions, combined with other channels as well.

      GWB jr probably watch war documentaries, with somw general interest documentaries scattered in his watch history.

      Clinton seems like he would enjoy music performances and travel videos.

      GWB sr, no idea…

      Raegan, interviews with actors, republicans and millitary men, he probably enjoys the PeninsulaSrsVideos channel.

      Carter, if he was younger, would be making science/educational videos, but probably enjoy good science/history content, he’d probably be a fan of Calum, Peter Dibble and Wendover Productions.

        I hate to break it to you, but the only thing that Reagan and Walker have seen of the last few years is the lid of their coffins
