I could believe she had no idea he was a billionaire, and just had like 50+ million.

Usually billionaires at least splurge for $20 hair cuts. That man is obviously still using a bowl.

It's also believable the smile is the only thing she could convincably lie about

You don’t get to that level of wealth by getting haircuts from a stylist. He pinched every penny, got bowl cuts while his friends got specialty cuts, skipped the avocado toast and drank water instead of $5 coffees. Then his rich parents just gave him a small 10 million dollar loan and sent him to a prestigious school where only other rich kids went.

Honestly, respect to him for the shit tier haircut. At least he didn’t try to fake it like Elon.

I have very strong, mixed feelings about your post.

Well done mother fucker!

The story I read, decades ago, said he goes to the same barber (shop?) that he went to as a young person.

I... Guess I can understand that, but if they're telling him that haircut works, I mean keep your clients happy, especially if they're clueless multi millionaires.

That explains it, dudes in his 70s it looks like, the barber would have to be 90s.

And he's so rich, he probably hasn't heard an honest opinion about himself in decades

Money talks, wealth whispers. True wealth only gestures.

This man is so rich you can’t even describe him correctly.

The son of Al Davis, the previous owner of the NFL Raiders franchise. Al died, so his son, this guy has taken over. I haven't followed for years now, but I thought I heard he was a decent guy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Given who his father was, it seems likely that he's a decent enough guy. Although this guy has had life handed to him on a silver platter his entire life, so it's possible that he's just a spoiled brat.

I cut my own hair, and it looks much better than that. He wants it to look like that, for whatever reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

He has to pay a lot more than $20 to get his hair cut like that, it's $20 for the cut and $80 to make them do it in that style.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

He flies to the same barber for decades to cut his hair exactly like that.

Zuck does something similar with his hair but it's for different reasons. He thinks he's the reincarnation of Ceasar Augustus. Seriously.

It's not even the hair for me, how are you a billions but can't splurge on a new face? MF has enough money he could literally have a custom-made new face

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Honestly though if he wasn’t a billionaire he actually looks like he could be someone’s fun bumbling uncle or something. Really shows how much a crap personality can affect physical appearance.
