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

In some nations even punishments are tied to your earnings did you know that? So for example let's say you are a regular person who makes minimum wage, you do something mildly illegal, not enough to put you in jail, but enough that you pay a fine, like let's say driving through red light but not hitting anyone, so they pull you over and charge you and give you a fine, if you are minimum wage person you get let's say 50 bucks, but if you are mark Zuckerberg you get like a million dollars fine instead.

All because if you are richer and you do something like that you should contribute to the public a lot more than someone who earns a minimum wage. I think that would be a great way to start in all nations, fine people according to how much they make not according to law they break.

Sorry but I do not see how this makes sense especially when the crime is not related to money, I could understand different monetary penalties if a person stole one dollar compared to one that stole one million, in that example it will make sense that the punishments are different as the amount stolen is different.

But when the crime is the same and the only difference is the income of the two persons then the penalty should be the same and as far as I know this is the case in most countries of the world, could you give an example of a country in which this is different? Because you seem to state that there are some countries like that already.

People can use their money just as they want and at least in this case he wasn't hurting anyone. I am willing to bet that some of your purchaces aren't ethical at all when you buy cheap stuff.

And i am betting you will get called being selfish asshole yourself for holding Bitcoin in the future because that's going to be a status symbol as well.

I can't agree.

People can spend their money in a way they want. I am not going to argue about it. But we are facing this terrible calamity in which close to 1 million people have died already. And now this guy want to show off his wealth by wearing his multi-million USD mask. Is this the right occasion? To show off his wealth when so many people are dying?

Health is wealth , using such amount to purchased  face mask nothing wrong about that, because if you use $1.5million to buy what will protect you to do your business  and  also give you free  movement.

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 ...  

thats why they are called rich because they are capable of buying anything they want,spending all their life in accumulating money so in time they need nothing to worry about.

I  dont see whats the problem with that?Let it go mate ,one day if you become a billionaire?for sure you will understand why this man need to buy that expensive mask.

People are always going to be extraordinarily lavish. I don’t see any issue with this however I would consider him a selfish asshole if he never does any good for anyone else ( never contributes to charity etc). Hard to see something like this when so many are struggling.

indeed in any situation people always innovate which is sometimes not natural to do, but the problem is that many rich people really want to be different and want to be more than others because they can afford to be able to do that because money is not the main reason for them, the main thing is them. can appear more fashionable and be admired by what is used. the more difficult it is to make and scarce, the more people are looking for it from people who have money.

we do live in a time when everything needs to be fashionable and renewable and the rarest.

If rich people are wasting their money, then someone will get benefited from that wasted money. If the stored it rather than wasting then that will be more harmful to the economy.
But, yes you can question their morality, that they can help directly to the poor people rather than spending it on expensive products.

And besides, it's their country where the COVID-19 started so it's fine that he help someone if that his/her true intention but I doubt it. Who will buy a face mask that cost too much? What's the purpose of buying something like this? Does it really help people? partially yes.

Instead of spending those $1.5 million into an expensive, it should've been donated to the organization that helps fight the pandemic. Sometimes, in some situations like this, it shows that rich people are really stupid.

Well, 99% taxes on people so rich doesn't seem to make sense, but I do agree that at least a 50% should be applied.

Being rich and being an idiot are two very different things. I think this dude is just an idiot with money, you could also see the same type of stuff on instagram with "rich kids of xxx" or whatever and you see them spending money on useless stuff not realizing how hard it is to make that money. This dude is either a second generation rich person or he is just an idiot who is trying to compensate for the poor years.

If you are so rich, get regular mask like everyone, or maybe find one that is 10-20 bucks which should be quite expensive honestly and would be more than enough for you, and if you want to show off, just buy a super car with it, nobody says go donate it (which he should if he can afford to) but at least spend it on something that makes a bit of sense so that it would be a logical expense.

Yes maybe they are crazy inventing that very expensive mask but if you look at the other side,it is not an ordinary mask that you can wear anytime and can be use to avoid the covid virus. Instead, It has a value like bitcoin. It is composed of white gold and diamonds , so it is also an investment that designed as a face mask to attract the attention of the people and they coincided with the time when everyone used the mask.

I agree with you..  btw, whatever starting layer protects the mask (diamond, gold or silver) does not really change the real function of the mask, which is to protect the breath from the threat of viruses that spread in the air.  so actually, the main purpose of that man is just to attract attention and invest too..

I agree with this, anyone that is rich and has earned his money in a lawful way should be able to spend it in whatever they want, however it is clear to me that this person is probably just trying to show off his wealth, which is silly because there is always someone that is better than you so there is no point in trying to show off how rich you are when there are many people that are probably richer than you.

As such it is important not only for those that are rich but for everyone to always think about the utility of whatever they are buying because that expensive face mask is probably less effective than the one that you can buy for cheap so it is a useless item that is not worth that much money.

This face mask is not even safe to wear on you face because it has no respirator which makes breathing to be more difficult. This might not be totally be protective against the virus like other face mask such as N95. It is probably produced limitedly for people who like seeking attention of the public which means their aim has been achieved at they are now being noticed and reported on many news outlet

I think that's one factor that he wants to achieve here. Attention from public and he already got it! But I seriously doubt he is using that mask on his day to day basis. Maybe, this item is just some sort of memorabilia for him, a very expensive one. Just for display and not really to be used in public places. He can do whatever he wants as it is his money. So no problem on my side. Maybe he is looking for its future value so it is like buying an expensive asset.

It seems that a trend like this has become a commodity for some people who do have money and are looking for sensation, we cannot avoid the behavior of people like that because they have money and have the right to do whatever they want even though the main goal is not achieved, but they can give other benefits. namely better known and show to the public they are capable and are the first to use.

This kind of behavior is not only because of masks, just try it if we look at the personal accessories used such as shoes at a high price because they are only limited in production in the world and people are scrambling to own them even though the price is no longer reasonable.
maybe not long ago there was an Oreo that cost one to expensive because it was made limited by certain brands.

We have to understand because they have money and are able to buy and their goal is to be the first to be the first to buy expensive limited products in the world.

[The cure]

We should not rely on mask alone, It's not just the mask that can save us from getting infected from covid-19. It may help also but we still need to be careful and follow safety measures implemented by the government.
Because no matter how expensive your mask is, if you just rely on it and you don't follow the protocol, it also doesn't matter, you can still get sick.
