The average person can’t even fathom how much money a billion is

That’s why this is f***ing sadistic

Like if he was making $200k/year and had family members coming up for $5k handouts all the time that’s completely different

If I had A BILLION? I’d gladly be an ATM machine for family.

He's worth a billion on paper. He doesn't have all that in the bank. He would need to liquidate his assets to give everyone in his family 10 million. You don't know how big his family is.

Yall dont understand money that's why yall say this s***. They wouldn't be satisified with just 10 million. They would just keep asking for more and more. That's the problem.

Again, it's not just about the money. He's trying to explain to his cousin you can't just flip 4800 into millions easily.

I can understand that jay Z wants to feel loved for HIM and not his money, that I can relate to. But he should still be helping; the fact that his relative had to even ask for $4800 in the first place is telling

I think Jay's point was that he be getting approached on some grifter s***. What the cousin needs is an actual business plan not some get rich quick scheme, and legit money takes a while to build up, which most people are not patient about.

yea and you would go broke and have no real relationships with your family anymore.

There's a reason why lottery winners go broke. You would just be another statistic because you don't understand money.

if that's the case then he's right.

Exactly. you get it bro!

Jay-Z a hilarious guy. Dude is a through and through capitalist snake who doesn't and hasn't hesitated to f*** plenty of people over in order to fatten his own pockets, including brazenly lying to his "friends." Then he gets on a soapbox crying about how he wants people to love him beyond the money. You cultivated that s*** my nigga. Reap what you sow.

I feel it’s context to it though so it could depend . Never helping would be wack but making sure people being smart with your help and also aren’t just looking for handouts everyday is valid too

Who cares? If his cousin has to learn the hard way then he learns the hard way

And I’m not talking he needs to hand out to every 3rd cousin’s sister’s boyfriend

Grandparents, parents, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, 1st cousins

That’s who should get money and his best friends… if he wants to help out beyond that that’s on him but I wouldn’t judge him for not

I was being hyperbolic about the $10M but I guarantee he could give every family member he has $1M and not even notice the dent in his bank account

And to the point about people asking for more or whatever, that’s the stipulation you give them upfront. “I’ll give you this much, but you’re never allowed to ask me again and if you squander it that’s on you.”

thinly veiled capitalism thread in the music sxn

Huh so just because you have alot of money you don't deserve love??

What you're saying sounds crazy. If you hate Jay-Z just say that.

it all depends on your relationship w said family member it’s that’s easy and if they refute that what exactly can they say ?

So he hypothetically leaves his relative hanging and won't help?

"Hey, that idea doesn't work. See ya next year!"

Is that what I said? I said he has snaked people he's supposed to love to their f***ing face. I'm supposed to feel bad that people view him as an ATM when he has publicly f***ed over people in order to accelerate his own position lol?

You got reading comp issues or sum?

Thinly?

Real, theyll kick you while youre down, forget you exist and split inheritances and land among themselves then come around asking for s*** when youre doing good. Na f*** that they can earn it too.

I'd ask Hov for the $100k and leave the dinner

don't even need to watch the video, the thread is entertaining enough.

Seriously

Money is made to be utilized, not hoarded

Invest in your loved ones and give them the resources to reach their potential and make you proud

They were there for you when you were down

Nah bro. If you become a billionaire, it’s your duty to tell your relatives who work dog s*** jobs for a barely liveable wage to keep on grinding 🤦‍♂️
