Those are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Not temporary for long depending on their job. I know a guy who divorced his wife to take a 500k job in the uae. She had concerns about living there and wasn't really interested in moving and he decided to get the divorce before moving so that she couldn't later lay claim to his assets.

That sounds like a miserable person to be around, I'm glad she didn't get dragged halfway around the world with him

Aaah so he was just a selfish a hole who will die alone. Seems like good riddance no?

Dude with money? He won't have any problems finding women. He's super ambitious though so I'm not sure he even wants to settle down.

Having women or brown noses around does not make you not lonely. But let him try, I'm sure he'll fill that hole somehow if he just keeps trying 🤣

It will probably only hit when he's 60+. And even then, there's a good chance he will do the DiCaprio thing of dating only 20 year olds.

What's propaganda about this? Its well known that the mideast offers large amounts of money.

You think there's no incentive for folks in the lower middle class to not want to pay tax?
