I have no where near that kind of money but atleast now i know to NEVER put all of my money in a bank account if im ever fortunate enough to attain that kind of wealth.

This is crazy, i lived in oakland for 14 years. I come from a middle class family, went to the Air Force and when I got out of the military from my last duty station in California I moved to Oakland cause it was the most affordable. Within a few turn of events I became homeless myself sleeping in my car. I was on the verge of sleeping on the streets when I decided to reach outside to an apartment manager that I knew. By the grace of God she let me into one of her units for three months for free with the promise of paying it all back once I started school using my GI Bill. I thank God for her and my situation definitely humbled me. Praying for this man that God brings him out of this misfortune.

@@JohnnyGuitar1 Welp, they all struggled and ended up losing pretty much everything. God took those blessings when their focus on their wicked things, drugs, money, materials. Instead of balancing it by worshiping God by going to church and following his commandments. There’s nothing wrong with having good wealth as long you balance it with having faith in God. But if you’re focusing in materials and wicked things, God will not be with them. Evil takes its turn.

@@안단테샤넌 He never told us how exactly he made his millions, did he ? My guess is through banking and speculating with other people's money. Not by hard graft. That's why he lost everything in the crash. Unless someone knows otherwise. This guy was leveraged to the max. He should not be confused with the ordinary person born into poverty and left in the shadows. That is not to dismiss this guys hard luck story or his family crisis, but some perspective on his crisis is required. It ain't here.
