    Foley was once worth $1.9 billion, according to Bloomberg, but left the company with a net worth of $225 million.

    Jeez, the poor guy… only $225 mill… how do you go on living when you’ve sunk that low? /s

      I’ve done the math. I could live my entire life without working (except for fun) on $6 million. This MF has $225 million and describes it as losing all his money.

      Fuck that guy.

        You could live comfortably on the interest alone on $6 million, even with just a 1% AER you’d be getting $5k gross per month.

        So yeah, fuck that guy.

          Exactly. Although you can conservatively invest like, two thirds of it, and live much more extravagantly than $5k per month and still never run out.

            For sure, not financial advice but more of an indication of the absurd amount of money $200+ million is.

      I also lost all my money and had to sell my possessions, but like literally. $ 0 ( zero ) left, that’s what i understand, when i hear or say loosing all my money.

      Foley should eat a bag of foul foley.
