8 Gravity Works Even on the Wealthy Dude
We don’t know who this Rich Kid of Dubai is, but it probably doesn’t matter. The difference between this guy and a million others (maybe not a million, but probably several thousand) is that he was caught on camera doing something daringly stupid versus the rest of them who do death-defyingly stupid stuff all the time, but are smart enough to make sure their equally rich and equally stupid buddies aren’t taking pictures. Dubai looks awesome at night; we could never debate that. It would be stupid to try. We’d love to one day stand (safely behind the window) where this guy is and look out over that amazing city. There’s no reason to stand on the ledge like that yahoo is doing other than to impress his friends or try and feel some kind of rush. You want to feel a rush? Give all of your money away to charity, take none from your family and friends, then figure out how to live. You’ll never need to stand on a balcony again.
7 Because The Store Was Out of Monkeys, That’s Why
Unless your name is Mike Tyson and you’re playing the part of Mike Tyson in the movie The Hangover, having a large jungle cat as a pet is a stupid idea, no matter how rich you are. There are other things to spend your money on. In the movie Marley and Me, there’s a voiceover part at the end where Owen Wilson says a dog doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor. Neither does a lion or a tiger. They will eat you either way when they get hungry. We guess owning one of these beasts shows that you have the money and the connections to get your hands on them, and it shows a willingness to spend your money on just about anything. The kind of people who are impressed by owning a puma or a cheetah are exactly the kind of people who like to buy them, and without these people, we wouldn’t have cool lists like “People accidentally killed by their pet jaguar.”
