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

    Jeez, the poor guy… only $225 mill… how do you go on living when you’ve sunk that low? /s

      I’ve done the math. I could live my entire life without working (except for fun) on $6 million. This MF has $225 million and describes it as losing all his money.

      Fuck that guy.

        You could live comfortably on the interest alone on $6 million, even with just a 1% AER you’d be getting $5k gross per month.

        So yeah, fuck that guy.

          Exactly. Although you can conservatively invest like, two thirds of it, and live much more extravagantly than $5k per month and still never run out.

            For sure, not financial advice but more of an indication of the absurd amount of money $200+ million is.

      I also lost all my money and had to sell my possessions, but like literally. $ 0 ( zero ) left, that’s what i understand, when i hear or say loosing all my money.

      Foley should eat a bag of foul foley.

    Sounds like he was living beyond his means. Maybe he should have not bought an iPhone, had avocado toast, and had Starbucks all the time. He can pick himself up by his bootstraps.

    (Yeah, I know he’s still worth a couple hundred mil. Smallest fiddle for him.)

    “I don’t have much money left”

    Proceeds to get 25 million in funding for his new company. Come the fuck on guy, you live a life practically nobody else does. Even if you were left with a paltry 50 million after you were kicked out of the company you drove into the ground with predatory subscription tactics. That’s more than enough for you, your kids, and your grandkids to all live on comfortably… but no, you have over quadruple that.

    Selling the 55 million dollar home just made sense because it wasn’t making money for him the same way cash would.

    Imagine exploring exploiting thousands of people and still ending up poor

      I’m pretty sure after exploring thousands of people you’re more likely to get chlamydia than rich. I could be wrong though, maybe try it?

      Yes, simply impoverished with his 225 million dollars that remain.

        How could anyone last a week like that? Absolutely abandoned by society, that man is.

          Tell me about it. I bet he can’t even just walk out onto the helipad and fly to work, he probably has to have a chauffeur drive him through TRAFFIC.

    I honestly wonder at a certain point the human brain switches back into a scarcity mindset once you hit the point beyond which the sums are fathomable anymore. For instance, for most of us, when we hear about 800c000 dollars, the brain goes “Hey, that’s a lot of money”, but I wonder if someone who has 8 million thinks at some level “whoa, I only have 8 of something—best be careful with it!!”
