Fellow /biz/raelites,
who is our (fictional) mascot?
I'm gonna start with who I think would be the most obvious, Mr. Gordon Gekko.

He may be real but Leo played this character so well.

>> No.415502

>>415498
I thought about putting Leo up there, but Wolf was more about the excessive decadence that comes with having a lot of money and not as much about the money (and how it's made) itself, hence Gekko.
I agree that Leo was pretty good as Belfort, though.

There can only be one

But op you can't use the pleb Gekko.

That Gekko had $60 million and got btfo by an actual billionaire in the first movie in his own house

Pic related is the only option. $1.1 billion flat.

yeah definitely. Just proves you have all kinds of people in all walks of life. Some will take your money, and still hate you for it.

In fact, I think that a veiled hatred for humanity can sometimes be a driving force for those who become very rich.

Everyone's a VP in finance if you have client interaction at all.

he's an interesting guy for sure. I think "a conflict of visions" is brilliant but he seems to base everything on the "constrained" and "unconstrained" viewpoints and always going with what in his opinion would be of the "constrained" vision.

He's the man but he's pretty fuckin old school.

I bet even though he's 80 something he could beat up thomas piketty

Buffet is a dick. He acts nice in interviews and people fall for it because he's an old man. Pretty sure he disowned his grand kid for appearing in a documentary about kids that inherit money. I believe she even pointed out how fucked up it is that these brats flaunt their money as if its there own... obviously old warren didn't like that.

You don't make 50 billion dollars without doing some fucked up shit and taking advantage of countless less fortunate people. I'm all for capitalism and all of that but how can any billionaire seriously pretend to be a ''nice guy''? Same goes for gates etc, they can donate to charity all they want but you have to understand the sheer magnitude of people they have fucked over in order to make 1 billion dollars, never mind 50+
