Not exactly worthy of world news, but an interesting read nonetheless:

Quote:
Prince Jefri Bolkiah, the playboy brother of the Sultan of Brunei, led an exorbitantly lavish lifestyle until his assets were frozen and many of his positions sold off.

In fact, he "has probably gone through more cash than any other human being on earth," according to an extensive story chronicling the prince and his ongoing $23 million legal battle with his former lawyers in the July issue of Vanity Fair.

At one point, he was reportedly spending $50 million a month.

Prince Jefri's fairy tale life came crashing down after authorities discovered that Jefri had personally blown through $14.8 billion from a government oil investment fund he was purportedly overseeing.

And he remains embroiled in a legal battle with his former attorneys.

Whether it's billions or thousands doesn't really matter, since prices just scale.

Rich people often spend their money paying 100 times more for the same experience, thinking it's actually better for them.

Oh, human beings....

Worry about basic needs and a reasonable comfort. When you have that, forget all about money.

The fact that he can spent his money on any way doesn't make him less of an idiot...

What a complete waste of resources. An idiot with a lot of money is still an idiot -- some things aren't for sale.

a-fuckin-men

people and their dumb ass status bullshit. i personally hope the little fucker ends up homeless and eating out of a trash can. to have wasted that much money when he could've done so much for others and still stood on top of the world. and yea it was his money and choices blah blah blah. doesn't make it right. no one needs that much money for personal bullshit, period.

it's the same shit with celebrities paying 30k dollars in a salon for hair and nails because they're using top of the line shit. or paying thousands for a pair of fucking jeans. every single one of them deserves to be homeless for a while. to not know where your next rent payment is going to come from or your next meal or to lose their home that they worked their whole life for because of greed destroying your economy... to worry endlessly for a while.

selfish assholes... i hope they all suffer greatly one day.
