Not sure if “ultra-rich” is the right label, since there are probably some of them who are good people, but I’m referring to the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc.
I’m just wondering: do people like them watch movies or TV shows, or read books? In so much of popular media, people like them (i.e. rich, powerful, unsympathetic) are usually cast as the villain.
If they have any self-awareness and do consume popular media, surely they would know they are (edit: seen as) the bad guys?
My guess is that they simply don’t consume popular media and instead wind down by doing cliche rich people activities (e.g. attend parties of only the rich, partake in expensive sports)
I tried doing a quick internet, but didn’t find an answer that confirms my thoughts, so I gave up and turned to Lemmy.
Bezos bought the Expanse to save the series so he could keep watching it.
Musk does lots of nerdy shit like dressing as Iron Man or referencing Star Trek.
So yeah at least with sci-fi they consume it.
Bezos just had to know what the true hero of the story, Jules-Pierre Mao, would get up to next.
And yet he didn’t put enough money into to see the last 3 books? Or have I missed something?
That legit might be the most human and cool thing I’ve ever learned about Bezos
