They brought with their Streaming Youtube Money...Do you think they deserve it?

I don't care.
It's a job like any other. Being a media influencer of that caliber means that daddy had a lot of money.

I mean, yeah. They earned it.

Its their money

"Do people deserve money for creating entertainment to watch?"

Thousands of years of plays and shit would say yes.

Yeah why don't more people just get together and buy a mansion?

I feel like you could do that if you were all middle class.

Absolutely. Why wouldn't they?

Just as with athletes and movie stars and musicians, some may feel that their income is grossly inflated, but they earn what the markets permit them to earn. Should they turn down money that's available to them?

Like was already said in several posts, of course.

Now whether it's deserving of a news headline is another story.

Realistically, if you're in a position to buy a reasonable single-family house for yourself/your family, you and five friends of similar SES could buy a mansion together instead of buying individual houses. If we say $200k for a single house, that'd be $1.2 million together, which can definitely buy something large enough for six people if you aren't looking in absurdly inflated areas.

And, just like athletes and the like, even that seemingly-inflated income is a fairly tiny percentage of the revenue they actually generate for their publishers/whatnot. There's ample room to argue that they actually deserve a bigger cut, given the percentage of the product they provide, which just highlights how absurdly inflated entertainment is.

They must have terrible parents and no one in their life to give them real advice..

I mean why not just buy reasonable homes and invest/diversify their money for the future?

ugh, kids

For real though, why don't the multimillionaires setup their family and future generations for life instead of spending it on frivolities.

I mean I understand the urge, but I also get what it's like to be grounded and realistic about what money can buy. Obviously these guys weren't always rich and thus they know the value of a dollar... I guess it's just me

Just look one look that place only brings the words "property tax" to my mind

Unless I'm misunderstanding and this place is only worth .1% of what they actually make. If they really are that rich then they can afford that lifestyle in a sustained fashion
