minus-squareFlashMobOfOne@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·edit-23 months agoI have an older brother. I invested $1000 in his first show, lost it all. He went on to win a Tony award. Also, it’s likely I may one day inherit some of his wealth. He’s single and childless.
minus-squarepezmaker @sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up8·3 months agoToo bad he didn’t consider that an investment in his future and not just explicitly that show.
minus-squareFlashMobOfOne@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·3 months agoOh, he certainly did. That’s a big part of why I don’t regret it.
minus-squarenorimee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·3 months agoHe never payed you back after becoming successful? What an ass.
minus-squareFlashMobOfOne@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·3 months agoNah, he’s used his position to give me some exceedingly cool experiences. I feel more than paid back.
minus-squareRob T Firefly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoIt must also be fun to see him in big time stuff and awards shows and be able to point and truthfully say “that guy owes me a thousand bucks!”
minus-squareFlashMobOfOne@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoI’m so proud of him. He has a play he produced that’s currently planning a world tour. We’re the sons of a poor roofer. I hope he makes enough that he never has to work again off his current show.
