The show was at Wayne Newton's 50 acre estate. Even 2Chainz was impressed with Wayne's place. I'm sure Wayne's house is fortified with a lot of guns but no they didn't discuss that on the show. Maybe I dozed off or wasn't paying attention.
All I know is idiots buy this couple's $10,000 survival bag. Okay it's got $2500 in gold in it but how much are you paying for the MRE's and chocolate bars and "special" water, rope, probably a tent, etc...
A $10,000 survival bag, like the "Prepster Black" luxury kit, contains high-end survival essentials such as organic food bars and special water pouches, a satellite communicator, a solar and crank-powered radio/charger, high-end toiletries, and a solid gold bar for trade. It's designed for a comfortable evacuation and includes items like a waterproof bag, high-quality first-aid, hygiene supplies, and personal gear.
Food and water
- Special survival water: Includes 24 small pouches of water.
- Organic meal bars: High-end, organic options are included.
- Military-grade rations: Datrex bars are included, described as tasting like coconut shortbread.
- Expensive chocolate: A high-end brand of chocolate is part of the kit.
Communication and power
- Satellite communicator: For sending text messages when regular service isn't available.
- Solar and crank-powered radio: A Bluetooth speaker that functions as a radio and phone charger.
Tools and gear
- Solid gold: Contains a gold bar that can be broken into smaller pieces for trade, with one piece valued at $2,500.
- First-aid and hygiene: A high-end first-aid kit and luxury toiletries are included.
- Personal gear: A rope for climbing or repelling is included.
- Waterproof canvas bag: The kit comes in a stylish, handmade, waterproof bag.
Sounds like quite the scam. Idiots must gobble them up.

Well they are rich so they can't be that dumb. Look at Trump. He's an idiot fosho but he swallows every conspiracy theory he hears and I'm sure he has a bunker and end of days prep bag like this. Why not when you have the money?
Remember you think Trump is smart because he's rich. Smart enough to be the POTUS. Insane but the point is, these are rich people who you are calling idiots. I think the message you should take from this is that they have so much extra money they can afford to blow it on a $10K survival bag and you can't even save $10K a year to put towards retirement.

Yes I have a routine, up at 5:30, feed the cats which is why I don't sleep later. Play on the computer for awhile. Go to the gym except for two days a week when I have art meetings. Paint until dinner. After dinner I turn on the TV, but write at the same time. Such is retirement.
Lots of dumb people inherit their money. I have a great retirement, you might not, but I do. You keep bringing up Trump. I didn't. Maybe you should examine yourself you seem to be a one trick pony.
I merely stated that those 10k kits were stupid, and only idiots would buy them.

I'm retired so I drive around a lot ... producing carbon emissions and elevating global temperatures ... I like the idea of no more snow here, and I'm sure those who live in snow country would appreciate the couple degrees of snow-melting warming ... sure, you're welcome ...
Now you can get back to work and pay your taxes so my checking account will keep filling every month ... and I can continue this carefree lifestyle ... suckers ...

My lifestyle involves lounging around in my Dude pajama bottoms, drinking coffee and irritating low quality posters online.
....at least when my lifestyle in its current state is taken into consideration.

George Soros?
Ah, right only 200 million. I meant Paul McCartney, and let's toss in Springsteen, and Jay Z. Billionaires all.
How?

Good one. Of course he came from nothing which is why he supports Democratic causes. Compared to Don Jr. who votes GOP but was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
George Soros made his fortune primarily through his successful hedge fund, the Quantum Fund, which he co-founded in 1973. He became famous for his daring and large-scale currency speculation, most notably betting against the British pound in 1992, which earned him an estimated $1 billion profit. His wealth was built through strategic, high-risk investment decisions and managing a highly successful investment firm.
Oprah is also a Democrat and Billionaire.
Even a lot of our Democratic billionaires were born into it. J.B. Pritzker's wealth comes primarily from being an heir to the Hyatt Hotels fortune. His family built a vast, diversified business empire that included investments in natural resources, cruise lines, credit bureaus, and other companies. In his own career, he was involved in investments, tech incubation, and philanthropy before becoming governor.
Soros turned over jews to his nazi friends. He made his money by raping the public employee retirement funds for many Asian countries.
He's a despicable piece of shit.
No wonder you like him.

I guess Soros didn't do it any of those ways. He's an exception to that rule.
He became famous for his daring and large-scale currency speculation, most notably betting against the British pound in 1992, which earned him an estimated $1 billion profit.
What does it say that Wayne Newton only has $100 million but JZ has $1 billion dollars?
How much is a million worth today? Not nearly as much as it was. Our economic system is broken. Meanwhile the Trump's are doing great!
How did they make their money?

Through talent. Okay, so there will be exceptions. Like people who are really smart at computers. Or starting a business.
This is the only guy to start up 3 Fortune 500 companies. He's another exception
Harry Wayne Huizenga came to the United States from the Netherlands. Starting with a horse and wagon, Harm Huizenga built a trash hauling service, Huizenga & Sons Scavenger Co. in suburban Chicago in 1894.
Wayne Huizenga is the only person to start three Fortune 500 companies: Blockbuster Video, Waste Management, and AutoNation. Other entrepreneurs have started multiple billion-dollar companies, but Huizenga holds the distinction of founding three separate companies that each reached the Fortune 500.
