First up Dr. Fauci. Now you may be thinking but wait a second this guy speaks out of both sides of his mouth and sometimes in the same sentence. He's the face of lockdowns, masks and vaccines, none of which worked. He's like a bad joke no one wants to hear anymore. How could he have had a good year? Well, it seems that during the pandemic Dr. Fauci's net worth almost doubled. He was worth 7.6 million before the pandemic began and by the end of 2021 he was worth 12.6 million.
Then in 2022 some non-profit gave him $901,400 for "speaking truth to power". Not sure how they figured that, since he was The Guy. Who was he speaking to, himself? But either way, when you add up all the bucks, The Guy, had a very good year.
Next up Harry and Meghan. What? You may say. They just put out a Netflix series that just about everyone hates. We mean the audience score from Rotten Tomatoes was a measly 12%, which might be some kind of a record. And, they too have become a bad joke, no one wants to hear but... Ah, there's the rub. They got 100 million dollars. That's $100,000,000.00 to put it in a sign, your eyes can't miss. And they got all that dough, to tell about how they met, dated and how their families suck. The first and second parts are something you bore your friends to death about and the third thing... You sit or lie on a couch and pay good money to a qualified individual, to listen to. So while their names may be mud right now in the public forum, when you add up all the bucks, they had a very good year.
Then there is Sam Bankman-Fried the Crypto currency King who amassed a 32 billion dollar empire. Yeah, yeah it's all come undone in the last week and he's in jail but he didn't get arrested until December 12, 2022. That means there was only 20 days left in 2022, at the time of his arrest. So, he got to spend the other 245 days of 2022 doing whatever the Wolf of Wall Street greed is good crowd, do. Of course 2023 won't be so hot or the next 25 years either but 2022? He'll look back on that fondly.
Last but certainly not least, Elon Musk. Elon has rocket ships, electric cars and he bought Twitter. He's a bona fide Billionaire and maybe the richest man in the world. And, he doesn't get upset when people say nasty things about him. He just Tweets back something funny. We like his style. He really had a good year and we wish him many more to come.
