We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Isn't Gabe's net worth literally just the value of Valve? In order to cash his money out, he'd have to sell Valve.

I don't want him to sell Valve. I like him being in charge of Valve, he's doing a decent job.

He's got a yacht collection, six of them, costing him more to maintain a year than you and your children will ever be worth.

Buy, Borrow, Die. Rich people don't sell shares. They take very low interest loans banks are more than happy to lend them. Use their shares as collateral. Then pay no taxes and only a small amount of interest. They do this forever until they die.

It's why everything is associated with "make number go up".
