Flaunting the Dollar

Marhaba to the Lions Den Massive.

For those of us that work hard for our money every month only to find that we struggle to save any amount of money that we possibly can or just to make ends meet, there is nothing that grates our balls more then someone who is rich as fuck flaunting off that he is in the financial position to use $100 bills as shush paper.

Fortunately we don't have to many examples of this in South Africa, and just as well too when you take the Libyan and Egyptian situations into consideration.

When I lived in Dubai, the main road to some of the better shopping centres and establishments of fine dinning took you down Jumeirah Beach Road. which as the name suggests is a main road just off the Sheikh Zayed Road which runs next to the sea. On this road we have the palaces of the crown prince of Dubai, and his family. When you drive past it you are greeted by ten foot high walls with the house a kilometre in from the road so that one cant see the actual house. Occasionally, when one goes to the top of the Burj Al Arab, one can see the houses that are the size of small shopping centres. They have their own dock where yachts can berth near the house, and the tenants on the properties move around it on golf carts.

Again, the Burj Al Arab is one of those places that was built by the rich to say fuck you to the poor. It was the worlds first seven star hotel, the cheapest room in the hotel is a cool US$1 000 per night while the Royal Suite will set you back US$28 000 per night.

We then go to India, where the country's second richest man, who happens to be number 8 on the worlds richest human list, Mukesh Ambani has just build himself an expensive ass yacht which he is going to weigh anchor just outside of Mumbai as a beacon of fuck you to the poor people.

The ship was built at a cost of 20-million Euros. It has a floor area of 3400-m2
with accommodation for 12 passengers and 20 crew members.

The ship has three decks, a 25-m pool, a spa, a heli-pad, a 100-m² sauna, gym and massage room, a promenade of 130-m², a music room, a dining room, a cinema, sun decks, suites, terraces and a lounge. Luxury at the ultimate level.

All of this while there are billions of starving Indians in the country.

Now I am not saying that the rich cant enjoy their money. By all means, if you have it…spend it. But sometimes to flaunt your riches like this will breed animosity.
