Especially Trump…. his is coming, he better watch his money

Oh well, I dont know anything about Keanu Reeves, I know what Gates does with his money but…I know nothing about Keanu Reeves…Why? What does he do with it? Im sure he hasnt done as many good deeds as Bill freaking Gates though

No, Its okay to have scientists and doctors and people who invented cancewr to be filthy rich, because they HELP. Im not saying that no one is supposed to be rich and everyone medium class…Im saying that some people dont deserve it.
I have nothing against disgustingly rich people, thats cool, because I KNOW they earned it by working, staying awake at school, i KNOW they did or are doing something to help, but to see an actor being rich kinda makes me want to punch a baby out of frustration. In fact the people I dont like are poor people, they had a chance and they decided to do nothing, theyre bums now because they turned their back on helping and getting a job to become productive citizens. BUT ACTORS are my ONE exeption! And athletes

Some of them, like Alonzo Mourning help out though and take advantage of the great gift they have to do something productive but most, dont really do much

I dont wanna seem like the guy that hates rich people, and loves poor people, you are were you are now depending of how much you decided to be productive (or really bad luck) so I really have no pitty for the homeless, they can still get a job and do something, but no, food stamps suffice i guess

But im just talking about Tobey Mcwire dropping out of high school and becoming a rich movie star

Hazmat, my man, I never stated that you were one of the hypocratic ones. Please re-read that. And why would anyone be crazy enough to carry around $40 million???? Haven’t you heard of a bank? LOL

BTW, you do not know what Keannu does with his money as to say he’s not as giving a person as Mr. Gates? That is pretty ignorant unless you have first hand knowledge of what Mr. Reeves does with his money. You shouldn’t assume to know.

Anyways, some of your comments are made with thought, and in this day and age, I appreciate that. But then there’s the others that are somewhat emotional and project more of a “I don’t live that way, so why should others” thoughtset, and I don’t think that’s right. If it wasn’t for greed, a lot of things wouldn’t have been invented. Sometimes (re. “not always”) the fact that people want more is a good thing. It’s given us many great inventions, led to new thoughts and research, and driven us along in our “progress”. I’m guessing you don’t still ride along in a horse and buggy mobile? ;)

If I had that much money I’d be making kevler suits fighting crime or something, maybe even investing on medicine so they can find a cure for everything or investing on science so they could build a time machine and get trapped in predestination paradoxes
for trying to kill Hilter or Pat Boone.

Like Lennon said :

“Oh boy, when you’re dead, you don’t take nothing with you but your soul – think!”

I could live off that for a LONG time. If some of these folks would start living beneath their means, they’d be perfectly fine. Seriously, have you SEEN some of their houses? Who the fuck needs that much space unless you’re the Octomom?

But you have to remember that actors are people too. They have to live like we do (or usually better). So it’s not surprising that somebody would ask a huge amount for a role that could take months to a year of their time. Plenty of opportunities could pass them by in that time. And on the flip side, who knows when such a person would have the opportunity to act & get paid again? And with the way reporters and the like hound actors these days, getting a second job might not be good for their image. And one of the reasons certain actors are cast is because they are in the public’s eye and good favor now (Mickey Rourke, Robert Downey Jr., Jackie Earle Haley, etc.). So it’s all about gettig enough money to pay the bills, pay the people you employ to get a job, and still have enough money to be able to wait for the next job.

I’m always hearing about them shooting and trying to get a pet project of their friends off at the same time. Then again, can 20 mill be going over the edge. A lot of Hollywood and most of the posts in this chat room are quick to be cut and run with the money. This is why alot of actors we become familiar with we don’t see in movies more often.
