Financial illiteracy, as reflected in those comments, is one of the greatest dangers for democracy, freedom, and capitalism. It leads straight to dictatorship and utter misery.

[@chadbailey7038]

After reading the comments…Now I can’t un-hear the “ya’kno”! 😅

[@iceman18211]

May they live long and prosper.

[@osrrrr]

You know, I counted 67 "you knows" Hmmm How many did you?

[@Nutrisof]

Yeah, I counted 1.3 trillion "you knows". Not the best Forbes's video imo.

[@selenaclarke]

Good on them, I can't understand why people are nasty about success

[@pepelopez9595]

YOU KNOW !!!!!!!

“Ya know”

[@cuongvitruong]

I'm not about overthrowing anyone or any organization. I'm not that ambitious. I'm about money and luuxury, I'm happy if I can make myself a millionaire while living in the USA. My focus is in making money, it's not an easy journey to become rich in the USA.

[@Unknown_someone600]

Maybe it’s just me but it’s getting disgusting. them making 1.2 trillion is not the problem but making that much while a whole lot of families / people are broke and destitute

[@imrelentless]

Just ignoring the Rothschild family now 🤔

[@alainportant6412]

They ignore A LOT. Forbes removed arabs from the list in 2018, and they don't even factor in most royal families because the amounts just wouldn't make sense, and I think people would be upset by those numbers. Wealthiest people on earth own their fortune through proxies, so you can't really put them on the list anyway. Rothschilds and jewish dynasties in general comes to mind, but even someone like Putin probably owns a few percents of Russia's economy through oligarchs, so we're already talking hundreds of billions, if not more. Just to give you an idea, Gaddafi's fortune was estimated at around $600 billion, and he "only" managed to take $150 billion out of the country before they killed him.

[@TunaLounge]

Oh boy they are worth 1.3 trillion pieces of wothless paper.

[@juliequintero1447]

Your senior reporter should stop saying "you know" after every other word. Terrible speech ruins his presentation. If I knew I wouldn't be watching his piece.

[@meiiem7835]

Tax em until they are broke.

[@alainportant6412]

here comes the local loser

[@hoffmann5758]

Who cares
