Honestly, Mark Cuban seems like kind of a cool guy, for a billionaire. I'm sure he's done nasty shit, it's basically inevitable that even the most morally and ethically conscious person would have to do something bad in order to become a billionaire; however he doesn't come off as being sociopathically greedy like Musk or Bezos.
according to forbes, his net worth is about 5.4 billion. 276 million is about 4% of his net worth paid in tax.
I just checked what I payed in taxes vs my net worth. I paid about 11% of my net worth(not income) in taxes this last year. Damn that sucks looking at the numbers lol. At least he's almost halfway towards getting there and happy to pay.
I'm curious what it looks like for others. I'm in my 30s for reference in high cost of living location.
"Obscenely rich proud for poor people to celebrate him for doing less than the bare minimum"
Other obscenely rich people doing less, doesn't make this shit uplifting nor worth praise, it still is literally less than the bare minimum. Fuck this noise.
Elaboration by request: It's a tiny amount of money that only sounds like a lot to the 99%. Relative to his wealth, this post is a sad reminder of the dragon's-hoard of wealth he still has and the desolation caused by aquiring it. I want to eat this whole mother fucker and I'd settle for like half, but I am certainly not uplifted by a bite of pinky toe.
Edit: Okay, it's uplifting that he is saying this and encouraging good citizenship. It's a paltry amount and I won't be pleased by it.
