I don't get why govs don't  put 99.9% income tax on this f...kers ...?

There is one thing to be rich ...and another thing to be a rich asshole ...  

[Collier1]

I don't see his purchase being bad because i see it from a different angle.

The face mask is said to be an 18-karat white gold mask decorated with 3,600 white and black diamonds and fitted with top-rated N99 filters. And because of it's features it could be said to be used as a store of value which is one of the reasons for purchase of gold and diamonds.

It could also be likened to the purchase of Bitcoin of similar amount just as a store of value and an investment also.

That's not a investment that is stupidity ,vanity and being a selfish asshole ...
If i see this guy on the street with that mask ,if i get the chance i will rob him and give the money to covid vaccine research or to the poor affected by covid ...
If he gets killed ...not one tear from me or remorse ...

We can't directly tell that these rich people are selfish. Unknowingly they might have a charity and donation programs. Besides, it's their own money, their own wealth.
We can't call them stupid either for purchasing luxuries, simply because they can afford it, they've worked hard for it. Therefore we don't have the right to demand for what he wants to do with his private life. Aren't we too harsh on them for calling them names while we're staying at the average or middle class style of living?
If ever you think these rich people did nothing to help the poor, think of it the business they built and the number of employees they have and the amount of tax they have paid to helped a certain city/community progressive.

Also, research labs have enough funds and financial support from the government. Thus, the donation will not be directed to the research company instead it would land to the governments hand most of the time. And you know what happens with extra funds that will be acquired by the government? That's how corruption began.

They say, money can't buy happiness. Now, this right here is a luxury many couldn't afford and It makes these billionaires happy.

Feeling jealous or envy would be natural for human being thats why people do call it stupid or whatever they do call to those people who do unusual stuff or shall we say isnt really that practical but to think that its their own money to spend not ours this is why we dont have any rights on how they should spend up their money even it isnt already right but its none of our business.They are financially capable of  so just let them on what
are the things they would gonna do, we can make comments and insights which is normal but we dont have the right to call them stupid or what.

Money cant really buy happiness but we do know on whats the difference if we do have this thing where everything can be purchased up according to your likes.If having this expensive mask will really make you happy then no one can stop you.When it comes to tax which op is complaining about then they are pretty aware with that.They cant just show-off in public if they are trying to hide
on what are the things that they do plan to be built.

Lastly, that mask is really expensive but it is just really meant for impressing the public but i doubt that it do still work as a regular face mask to serve its purpose.

That millions of dollars will circulate and go under those people that either work for him or those people he wpuld help. We can't call this guy stupid or selfish since there are a lot of people living and even taking their life for granted because of these rich people. That is just the circle of life.

I guess I'm with that perspective. And besides we don't know about his life. If he has the means to buy one, then it is his choice as long as he is not harming anyone. If he just wants to showoff or not, that's his choice in life. But for us who can't afford to buy an expensive one, just be contented for what we can buy to protect ourselves from the virus. Let's just be happy for others and not be too judgmental.

Why should they pay so much in taxes just because they're rich?  If you had to pay a 99.9% income tax because you were super wealthy, who would aspire to be successful?  Besides, I'm sure the buyer pays taxes and I'm sure there's a sales tax, plus the business pays taxes every step of the way. 

There is one thing to be rich ...and another thing to be a rich asshole ... 

I detect jealousy, which is an ugly thing.  I find it to be a bit ostentatious to be buying and wearing a mask like that, but this kind of thing was bound to get made eventually.  They make jewel-encrusted cell phone cases, fountain pens, and watches that the super-rich buy, and if you've got the money to blow on stuff like that, why not?  At least when you're paying the enormous sum of money for a trinket like this face mask you're pumping money into the economy, and that's not a bad thing.

Well said.  I don't begrudge the buyer(s) of masks like this one iota.  The uber-wealthy give the rest of us plebeians something to work toward.

Jealous on rich people ? never

How needs a cheating wife...
A spoiled brat that doesn't give a s...hit about anything just himself
Scumbag fake friends
Predators trying to take your money 24/7
Loneliness,Depression and Sleepless nights ...
Problems after problems ...
And at the end all for nothing
That 's sum's up being rich ...A wasted life.

Be careful what you wish people ... as you may get what you wish for...


You should watch Citizen Kane (1941)...

Because then they will all move elsewhere and your economy will be wrecked. Kinda like what happened in Venezuela. And if you think that you'll just take away their wealth and it will all be good, then the outcome will still be the same.

Besides, why should anyone care how other people spend their money? Economy is not a zero sum game where rich people become rich because they take something from those who are poor.

[Wexnident]

Guess you didn't watch the entire vid? Even if he is being a rich ass, he voluntarily or not, helped a few people have their jobs as well as help money circulate in the economy. 99.9% tax is a bit of a stretch, but adjusting taxes to the rich so that they could pay a bit more than average people is always welcome, but milking them out of their money (earned from hard work or not) seems stupid imo. Plus, as you said, he could've used it to fund COVID research, but I think they have enough for that with the number of countries working on it, helping the poor? Who knows if the man actually donates yearly on charity though. In the end, it all boils down to one thing, he's rich, you're not, so might as well give up your argument of what he should do since that's his life, not yours. Selfish? It doesn't take one that long to know that humans are inherently selfish, positively or negatively.

No hate for those people who can afford to buy luxurious things. But I'm curious if what's more expensive, the guy who has his face mask in gold in India or this guy?

If these people are rich and they've made it on their own, there's no need to tackle taxes or what because you will never know that they are even paying the most through taxes with their businesses and associates. We can be amazed by these purchases if they can if want to but if you don't like these purchases, keep it to yourself.

[crwth]

I don't think it's right to hate on someone that could afford that type of mask. It just seems you're jealous and would be willing to have that, and it makes it easy to say "there's a better way of spending it." The product itself is kind of stupid but the profit that the company, who created the mask, is going to the employees and be able to work for longer time, and especially during these times, it's better to have a job rather than be selective about what you can or cannot do.

I'm just worried about the people telling that it doesn't work as a real mask, it says on the video that it should pass the N99 European Standard, which is hugely better than average masks.

At least in this case, the manufacturer claims that the mask was prepared as per the N99 standards. Here in India, an uber-rich loony ordered a mask made out of solid gold, which doesn't reduce the chance of COVID 19 infection. I just hope these sort of people would die from Coronavirus infection and the government will then confiscate their wealth and distribute it among the poor.

In reality, there are a lot of these people just to flex or just for clout.

Should we be jealous? I don't think so, Is it good? I think so. As @FlightyPouch said, that is just how unfair life is but it doesn't mean that flexing is just what they can do, despite them buying these luxurious things, that money circulates and helps a lot of people. It can even help us since with that huge of a tax, it can help the country and the people in need of help.

[DoubleEdgeEX]

It´s just like buying an expensive watch or whatever else luxurious just because you can. In worst case, he can break out all the diamonds and sell them seperately, but I would bet he never have to do that. As for this case, it´s a nice catch of a collector and gets him some attention because of the nature of the item.

[bakasabo]

Hope there is a 14-day return policy for that mask.

Ok, the guy wears a $1.5 billion mask, but will it really help him? How does he plans to wash it? Because you cant just wear a protection mask for 24/7 and still be protected. With even hand washing, he might lose few stones from the mask or the gold becomes less shiny or becomes dull.

In the video it was mentioned that it weight more than half a pound. While other fabric masks weight less than 0.05 pound (box of 10pcs gross weight is 0.5lbp). Will he be able to wear that for few hours daily? I doubt.

Watch still has the use after the COVID is done as well, but this mask would not be useful later and nothing more than just it will become a showpiece. So, people who have money and want to be in limelight can do such things, else a normal person would use it for their purpose or will help the needy who requires in this bad phase of life.

[plvbob0070]

These rich people are probably already paying enough tax on the government. And there's nothing wrong if he wants to buy an expensive mask since he's capable of buying it. Yes, it might not guarantee him that he will be safe from the virus with this expensive mask, but let him do what he wants.

It's not even selfish or stupidity because that's what rich people do. They buy expensive things because they want to. If he's selfish for buying an expensive mask for himself, does it mean all rich people are being selfish when they buy branded and expensive products just to fulfill their wants?

Stop this madness man, seriously.
You never became jealous with rich people? Then why are you here? Why did you invest in Bitcoin/cryptocurrency?
Isn't it one of your major goal is to become rich? I mean, who doesn't?

The way you're describing rich people is like the ones you watch from the movies.
Cheating wives doesn't specify a wealth status, even poor people's wives cheats.
Fake friends are everywhere, whether you're filthy rich or very poor.
Etc..
Everything you said makes no sense.
