All I really care about is how comfy the clothes are.

Money and sex are alike, when you have a lot ,it means nothing, when you don't it means everything.

Why does Bill always look like he just finished furiously masturbating in a broom closet?

I don't begrudge obscenely wealthy people as long as they give most of it away to people who actually need money. A+ to these guys.
DoublevBomb
When you're worth more money than 99.99% of other people, you don't really need to flaunt it. Everyone knows who you are.
magisch
Most people know Bill Gates and know he has enough money to buy their entire country. I don't think he feels the need to flaunt anything.
Rexermus
Because they're rich not idiots. They know what you should be doing with their kind of money. They know how pointless expensive clothing is
slaaneshBuiltMyJetbike
Honestly, the people I see wearing Gucci,Versace etc. the most are people who really can't afford it.
DarthMaulaira
The goal is to be rich, not to look rich.
skrimg59
Everyone is saying the most outlandish shit. Its a picture of 2 incredibly wealthy men and neither of them happen to care much about fashion
imnotryan
and yet look more fashionable than many who are obsessed with fashion.

If only we could all stop buying Gucci belts. We'd all be rich AF.
buce123
We could probably afford healthcare and other luxuries
Shooter14
they ain't wired like us peasants - buying stuff to impress people we don't even like.

I used to live and work in a very rich area, when I dressed nice I was ignored... when I dressed like a slob people fell all over themselves

Isn't there some rule about them not being in the same place at the same time? A money vortex might appear.

Yeah but I bet you what they are wearing ain't cheap either. Actually, it may even make Gucci look like a poor mans company.

A good way to stay rich, is by being thrifty. They set a much better example for our young people than spending tons of money on a clothes.
Makecba
That's true, but they could also buy every single piece of clothing ever created and still have more money than a country.
kingofusersub
Yeah but they good spend 10,000 on clothes every day for a 100 years and still only have spent 0.22% of their combined wealth.
Negnarholf
But they don't, that's the point. They could take million dollar vacations every weekend too, but that's not how you keep money.
Rainblowjob
only if there aren't many people are doing the same thing. once it gets widespread, the economy suffers

Bill Gate's haircut is what does it for me. The man could get the very best stylist and he chooses to look like this? +1

Nah. He's just so rich he can afford to not give a fuck what you think.
PunnyTiger
With his face what would be the point of a sharp haircut? it's like putting a suit on a dog.
betterave
Nope. Grooming and tailoring can make the plainest person look stunning. It's a lot of work though.
PunnyTiger
I have met him. He was wearing a suit that probably costs more than I make in a year, he still looked like that.
SarcasticComment
So... awesome? Who wouldn't be excited by a suit on a dog?

Why would anyone capable of thinking by himself need a stylist ? For real ?
OSCgal
Some people like to look good? Hairstyling can get tricky, depending on what your hair's like.
ThePhantomGenius
Bruh this is such a real comment, swear.. Man has been married forever, has more than most all do, so what does a haircut gain him?
ThePhantomGenius
Dumb shit is for the masses; fashion, style, cars, whatever real money don't give af about shit that's inconsequential...

Speaking strictly for hair, because it can be difficult to envision and articulate what you want it to look like.

I'm not saying Bill Gates needs one, just answering why someone who can think for them self may need someone to their hair.

He has never had a decent haircut. He must cut it himself.

Or his wife cuts it. His hair looks like 90% of my toddlers haircuts TBH.

TemetNosce000
But if you buy quality clothing, you don't need to replace it so often. Saves money in the long run.
FnordGallop
And that is why they look like they shop at Walmart. The clothes are just ten years old, so the cost of the fashion & quality has decreased.

Can't say buying expensive clothes will give you any kind of return. The clothes don't make their money, they do, their brains
