Some chinese guy bought most expensive face mask in the world $1.5 million.

[AjithBtc]

Such assholes are found around the globe. In my country a guy has got a golden face mask. When he was questioned whether this has got any advantage of it. He doesn't have any answer for the same. Compared to the guy spending $1.5 million what the guy has spend is quite low. The Guy With Golden Mask

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.

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.

We cannot say with certainty what exactly he will do with his purchase after the end of the pandemic. It's not necessary to leave it as an exhibit. He can give it for the benefit of others, as you suggest. Let's not condemn him ahead of time.

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

If you may know, rich people doesn't pay Taxes. Take Robert Kiyosaki's words and probably you will disagree with what you said.

Base on him, rich people doesn't pay taxes and rich businessmen also doesn't pay taxes. They have a strategy but I can't remember it correctly but I think it relates with corporation. Anyway, I don't care with this expensive face mask or anything. Let him do what they want to do. He has money, he can do anything he wants and there is nothing we can do about it.

Can you do anything about it??

if you really want to buy protection rich assholes ...you buy hazmat/nbc suits, costs around 100-1000 usd

Buying a diamond covered face mask or a gold mask is just plain stupid ... here is another question gov should ask ...how in the world did does fuckers made the money in the first place ... IRS should be all over them ...

I don't see does people knowing anything about running a business or investments ... so probably they got rich doing illegal stuff...with help from corrupt politicians .

[Leviathan.007]

That's unfair and sad when you see someone who pays that much for a single face mask but some people in same world, same country and maybe even same city can't buy a single mask during the covid breakout. The world is all unfair, but still we can't be jealous, this Chinese dude have this much money for it, so maybe he made some good decision is the past to be in this place and have this much money to buy this face mask.

Ok, the guy wears a $1.5 billion mask, but will it really help him?

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.

It's 1.5 million not billion.

Half a pound is not that much, we were using 3m half masks with ammonia filters when we were cleaning the septic tanks at our farm and those things weigh 200 grams, pretty close to this, and we were doing hard work not speaking in a meeting. To go even further, gas masks used in the army are well over a pound, some even a pound and half and again you can run and jump and keep it on your head for hours without that much trouble.

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.

Jealousy is such a bit of understatement, is pure hate, forget the golden mask, OP is wearing the rings of Sauron,he's on a full rampage, doom is coming, the economy is crashing, the riched would be impaled, but lately, it's becoming really boring.

So a guy order a 1.5 million mask, he has the money to do so, those are his money if he earns them legally he can burn them or spend them on booze or on gold necklaces for his ducks, it's his damn business. I wonder why people on this forum are getting excited and curious every time about what others do, while they all advocate for privacy at the same time love gossip so much and want to intrude in other people's life it makes me feel like I'm reading thedailymail.

It's not about having money ... it's how you made that money in the first place ...no normal biz man or investor will buy a 1.5 million junk mask ... if you made the money legal "good for you little man" ,if you made it illegal then it's time to prepare your soap

They are billionaires who doesn't care about money, they can afford it and no one can stop them
for using their own money.

When he was questioned whether this has got any advantage of it. He doesn't have any answer for the same.

More on fashinable side I guess, lol but seriously speaking that's expensive mask can feed lots of people
if this billionaires knows how to value life and money.

Compared to the guy spending $1.5 million what the guy has spend is quite low. The Guy With Golden Mask

Given, but they still spend money in this kind of luxurious thing.

They had money to do such things and they really earned it in some way so no need to show any jealousy if you find someone rich, just get inspired to become one who can afford such things.I see this mask meets the standard mask requirements so it is not a stupidity at all.

[Salauddin1994]

It is possible to buy it in the case of rich people they usually buy it in the case of luxury to show people or such expensive face masks. Face masks can never protect against the effects of the virus many people are spending their days in crisis due to the virus so using such an expensive face mask will help them a lot to help the poor people. There is no guarantee that these face masks will ever keep you completely safe.

[mezzaluna]

It is still possible to get the Corona Virus because without proper hygiene, the Corona Virus can still get inside your immune system. Though buying a face mask that is already worth a thousand of face mask but we cannot blame the buyer since it is his own money. A tax would be really helpful but being a communist country already have its own benefits.

At the end of the day there is nothing to do, it is his money and he can do whatever he wants with it, however while this is without a doubt a frivolous purchase it is better than the alternative, if the rich did not spend their money on that kind of stuff then their money will be forever locked away in a bank account or a safe and this will eventually make the poor even poorer as they cannot sell useless stuff to the rich.

So instead of being mad we should be glad the rich are so willing to part away with their money.

Finally it is impossible to put a 99.9% tax not only on the rich but anyone as that will make you effectively a slave and not only this immoral and unethical we know this will limit the desire of anyone to create or to work destroying the economy in the process.

[Arkann]

Even if this purchase will save a rich person from a virus or other diseases, then with one hundred percent accuracy or certainty we can say that no rich person will take his millions with him to the other world.

[target]

I hope he won't be throwing it after using.

Covid19 is a very historical crisis of our time, this is the first time in history where we are very much aware and we actually lockdown cities, stopping businesses to operate leading to people to be jobless rarely happen once in our life. And a facemask with diamonds on it will probably be worth more than $1.5M after years, we never know that after several years, it will be auctioned.  This is like an investment.

[el kaka22]

I do not think that there is any extra tax is required, when you have a high luxury tax when something is cheap but you buy the expensive version, that tax should be enough to cover for a lot more for the others. Let's say a mask is what, 1 dollars? Well this guy could have bought 1.5 million masks, which means he spent it on luxury, give him a luxury tax of 10% and that means he would pay 150k for buying this to the government. That is now 150k more masks for the people for free.

As you can see these type of luxury stuff would be quite easy. Someone buys a very expensive car? Give them extra 10% tax on top of the regular tax and pay the bus fee for a lot of people. You can as a government technically charge the rich people not just when they make money but also when they spend money, and I mean on anything.

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.  

Millionaires by hardwork should be respected putting so much tax on them is like they are working for somebody, and if that's the case of being rich who would aspire for it. I'm sure he does, with this so much money to spend on a very popular stuff, now in youtube there's no way the government would let that thing slide off their hands.

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

I can see it too from what he said, telling someone that he is 'asshole' because he can afford to buy that mask, actually he didn't bought it, he approached for the workers to customized it so he basically set a price for what he wanted it to be priced. Besides, I don't think he'll be using it casually, he'll just probably keep it for the history. What's bad is the view of the OP, if he quoted it and reason because of insensitivity on that rich businessman, though we are experiencing pandemic, there are millions of people in hunger, man you know nothing about that Chinese guy who would have know he donated a lot of his wealth for the vaccine trials and production

Cry me a river ...yeah any rich guy that buys a 1.5 million  USD face mask is a asshole ... you fuckers didn't earn shit ... you just got lucky or you bribed or you got contracts via nepotism...that's how you fuckers get rich ...not by "hard work" , or a high IQ ...  so stop giving morals to us that your hard working folks ,that your  victims and crap like that ... you are not . You get rich by becoming corrupt.

If's time for the 90% to take back all we allowed you to take ... it's time for SOCIALISM.

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.

The gold mask wont safe or reduce the chance of him getting the virus and I understand you make the above statement because you beliwve he waste the money but he actually invested the money in the gold used to make the mask cause limited there amount of gold left to mine.

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.

Even if he die from the virus I dont see the government confiscated his wealth if they all came through legit sources.

[Yamifoud]

You ain't that jealous mate but you are putting yourself into that. They are lucky and we are not, that is what life means. We can't be all rich because if that will happen, nobody will work with us nor to offer services to rich people.

He got what he wants and by that, he gains popularity in front of the biggest challenge that the world had face into. And I don't think the government will ask him for additional tax, in fact, he is also helpful to the people in the other way but because of having that gold expensive mask, that is absolutely wrong.

For me, we should not be overreacting about what a single person will do in his own life because he is free to do so whatever he wants in his life as long as he's not taking advantage from  other people. The fact that he's rich enough and is capable of buying luxurious things in life, well let him be because he deserves it. Buying an expensive mask should not be a big deal because it's his own money he is spending and not from someone elses.
