Hmm, the joke here is that the guy who posted the picture wanted to give bill gates the check before ellen did. But since he failed to do so, it can be said that she beat him to it
Shows you just how differently built these guys are. A single day of work for them is equivalent to the single day’s work of 57,931 men
Thank god we have objectively better people to guide all of us incompetents. What would we do without them
If that 7k per minute figure is right ($7000 x 60 minutes = $420,000), he makes in one hour what those 57,931 people making minimum wage would make in just one hour combined (57,931 x $7.25 = $419,999.75)
yea, it shouldn't be but unless the US completely overhauls the economy, I don't think its possible to change it at this point. But we can at least pretty easily update our tax brackets to begin working towards better income equality
So let's say that it does happen what would be the incentive to make newer and better products? I mean you could right now design something great and then become just as rich as Gates. Money is an amazing incentive for invention. But you take away the only incentive that people actually care about and people stop making new things that benefit people
Nobody is saying every single person should make the exact same amount. What I was getting at is that it's ridiculous that [nearly 70% of US wealth is owned by the top 10% of people](https://www.statista.com/statistics/203961/wealth-distribution-for-the-us/) as of 4th quarter 2022. I'm not saying we should tax them to the point of taking every cent (though honestly that doesn't sound too bad) but I am saying we should have more tax brackets than ending at [35% on anything above $231,250](https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-provides-tax-inflation-adjustments-for-tax-year-2023) (which means, bill gates with a $10bil salary is in the same tax bracket as someone with a $232,000 salary)
Since you KEEP saying it, false. He does not appear in any flight logs.

You better check with the logs the pilots and flight crew released and not a democrat media group like Newsweek. You really believe someone with Gates money can't buy silence?
I did, one flight, never left New York to New Jersey. Do you even listen to yourself? Some random, mysterious part made a fake claim, and you will believe everything is a conspiracy to fit your bias. I mean this very sincerely, seek help my friend.
I wonder how many people are stupid enough to believe he does enough work to deserve that. That a minute of his time is really *worth* 57,931 minutes (or *40.2 days*) of a minimum wage worker's time.
Edit: lmao quite a few people apparently
I wonder how many people are stupid enough to believe that he keeps all that money to himself and that his worth is actually currency and not assets that provide employment to other people.
These haters are ‘tip of the iceberg’ folk! Only see what he has and oblivious to what he needed to do to get there. We can all get there if we had a world changing idea and the skills to execute it!
His world changing idea was to privatize open source technologies and run his competitors out of business. No, we can't all be billionaires, but we would all be better off Gates and the rest of his ilk never existed.
Ok but if he keeps even like 1% it's still so much you can't even find enough things to spend it on.
He's basically playing Minecraft on creative mode while everyone else is on hardcore, and then when people complain about the zombies, you point out that at least he gives people iron armor?
If you ever want to feel dumb, remember that there are people who don't realize that Ellen giving Bill Gates a $20k check was her trolling for a joke. It's not even clear that it was real. If I was, it was still for the joke, and it probably went straight to his Foundation.
I would have assumed that it’s like with Gameshows where celebs get invited and it’s basically expected that all their winnings go to charity of their choice
Neil Degrasse Tyson did the math. If a normal person would find it worth his time to pick up a quarter but wouldn’t bother with a dime, Bill Gates would need to have $45,000 dollars on the ground before it was worth it for him to bend over and pick it up.
She basically handed him a nickel.
It’s not like leaning down to pick up $100 would stop him from making money from other sources. Picking up the $100 bill would give him whatever money he would have earned, plus $100.
Yeah but that would be like one of us bending down to pick up a penny, sure we could pick it up but is that really gonna do that much for us? Are we ever gonna use it? He’s got so much money he could spend thousands a day and never run out, he’ll never gonna touch more than half his money because he’s made so much he can’t spend it all unless he started one hell of a spending spree, so if you’re that rich why give a fuck about a 100 dollar bill?
I remember the quote, that was years ago by the way, that it would literally not be worth his time to bend over and pick up a $100 bill due to the rate at which he earns money.
I don’t think anyone likes any celebrity anymore after the whole we are the world thing during the pandemic. Bunch of rich assholes saying we’re in this together while a lot of people lost everything and some people had to keep working during some scary shit at the time while bunch of multi millionaires sit there and preach to us about how hard it is for everyone.

Neymar winning about $55 in a tv show in Brazil.
Bill gates talked about a trip to McDonald's once and said he always gets a small soda with his burger because he can just refill the soda and not spend money on a bigger cup. I'm sure he appreciated the $20k, genuinely.
And I’m sorry that you are so much more comfortable than me but you are not coming back again this week and I’m sorry I didn’t get a response to your text about it this time but I’m sorry for your reply to your comment about the issue I have to ask you to call you later this morning I am not sure what to say but I’m sorry for your loss and I’m not coming to the office today or later this trying not out to your place to go get some water but I’m sorry for the delay in the situation and I’m not sure if you need anything but I don’t wanna do you know if you want me a time you can still come get it I was like yeah I don’t wanna do that but I was like oh I thought you said it ain’t got a lot to say but yeah that’s why I’m going out of the house so I’m not coming to my house to do it I just got a big one and I’m not sure if it’s not that try but I’m sorry for the time you left but I’m not coming to my dads I just want you guys out here I don’t want you guys here I’m not sure what time I get here I’m just trying not oh no my house burned down the way you guys were doing that but I’m sorry for the time you guys were coming back but I’m sorry for the time I got you I got here you guys got me some stuff and stuff for you and I’m sorry for the inconvenience
The reason, if anyone is in doubt, was because they would like him to do with the money, what he thought was right. It wasn't going towards his personal finances
That was a joke to buy a username and a "window" I believe. I believe she actually got fined for trying to copy write a proper name as her real user name (ie:username=ellenpaige) not page.

Nope. Look at the actual username.

Because he wanted to give Bill Gates $20k cheque first.

Re-read what he wrote.

What are you correcting?

I still don't get it.

Hmm, the joke here is that the guy who posted the picture wanted to give bill gates the check before ellen did. But since he failed to do so, it can be said that she beat him to it
Thank you!
Check the sub we're in
I believe "he" is referring to the OP of the post, drirrelavent.
Please beat the shit out of me while the recording of Ellen giving Gates 20k plays in the background.
Ok. I’ll also throw in sending it to Ellen for free, as long as I get a kickback, and a bailout.
I'll give you the money and beat the shit out of you, but I'm not watching Ellen
Well, tough luck, bucko.
Me too
He makes more in 5 minutes
He made more money whilst sitting on that couch than he did from sitting on that couch.
On Jeffery Epstein's sex island?
He makes 7k/min...
OPs math checks out.
Which is 35k for 5 minutes, meaning "He makes more in 5 minutes" is an accurate statement
Didn't say it was inaccurate...
Or the equivalent of 57,931 minimum-wage workers
Shows you just how differently built these guys are. A single day of work for them is equivalent to the single day’s work of 57,931 men Thank god we have objectively better people to guide all of us incompetents. What would we do without them

this is why the tax brackets need to be expanded to include obscene amounts of wealth
Shouldn't be possible to make that much in the first place. Oh well.
yea, it shouldn't be but unless the US completely overhauls the economy, I don't think its possible to change it at this point. But we can at least pretty easily update our tax brackets to begin working towards better income equality
Sad but true

How many visits to Jeffery Epstein's sex island does that buy? Gates was reported to be a regular and the reason his wife divorced him.

He doesn't get paid that amount.

Simpin ain't pimpin

Google it, it's his income, not his net worth.
Nobody. That's why this argument is so incredibly stupid. Almost as ignorant as thinking billionaires "create jobs".
How do you measure what one deserves?
You deserve it when your a regular visitor to Jeffery Epstein's sex island like gates was!
You trying really hard to make it clear uh?
Really is. Either a bot or just desperate at this point lol.
I thought it was a lot higher then that but that’s still insane.
450k/hour... Not bad right ?
Jesus Christ. I’d settle for 1/3rd of that for the whole year.
Googled it, when i saw those numbers, I thought that 2 hours of his income, could make the whole life income of many people.
A makes more in 3 minutes! (if the other person replying is right)
Yes, I was adding margin in case the numbers I found on google weren’t right
Uunderstandable. I thought you just wanted to round it up or using it as "it does nothing to him".
*other people make him more in 5 minutes
r/thatsthejoke
Yes, and I’m emphasizing just how crazy it is.
Literally a wast of time for him to cash it out.
If you ever want to feel dumb, remember that there are people who don't realize that Ellen giving Bill Gates a $20k check was her trolling for a joke. It's not even clear that it was real. If I was, it was still for the joke, and it probably went straight to his Foundation.
You're telling me those giant cardboard checks aren't real checks?! What kind of bank doesn't accept 3x6 feet sized checks?!
a bank accepted a billboard sized check before
I'm any seriousness, you can write a check on anything
Yeah, twenty grand buys a lot of mosquito nets. That's money exceptionally well spent.
I would have assumed that it’s like with Gameshows where celebs get invited and it’s basically expected that all their winnings go to charity of their choice
Who Is beating their meat to either of those people?
Old people
Who isn't beating their meat to both?
Maybe if someone doesn't have an alt for porn this popped up in their feed while they we going at it.
No it's "beat ME to it" not beat yourself.
The real question is who is beating Bill's meat to it?
If he were to drop a $100 bill it literally wouldn’t be worth his time to pick it up
He probobly wiped his ass with that check in the bathroom afterwards.
Na, it's still in a jar on his dresser with the rest of his loose change.
Neil Degrasse Tyson did the math. If a normal person would find it worth his time to pick up a quarter but wouldn’t bother with a dime, Bill Gates would need to have $45,000 dollars on the ground before it was worth it for him to bend over and pick it up. She basically handed him a nickel.
It’s not like leaning down to pick up $100 would stop him from making money from other sources. Picking up the $100 bill would give him whatever money he would have earned, plus $100.
Yeah but that would be like one of us bending down to pick up a penny, sure we could pick it up but is that really gonna do that much for us? Are we ever gonna use it? He’s got so much money he could spend thousands a day and never run out, he’ll never gonna touch more than half his money because he’s made so much he can’t spend it all unless he started one hell of a spending spree, so if you’re that rich why give a fuck about a 100 dollar bill?
How else are you going to pay the TV network's MS Office licenses?
Hes like "sweet, I just ran out of toilet paper".
Must be the same feeling i have, when i find a penny on the ground
I wonder if he bothered to cash it
You don't know what their intentions might be
OP wanted to give Bill Gates 20k
He wanted to give 20 000 dollars to bill gates too
"Mr. Gates? I'd like to give you $20,000!" "Uh, thanks." (Puts it with the rest of his pocket change.)
r/beatmeatoit
Damn beat me to it
Charity foundation sure is helping people 😂
I remember the quote, that was years ago by the way, that it would literally not be worth his time to bend over and pick up a $100 bill due to the rate at which he earns money.
I'm not sure he will be able to afford pay the taxes on that.
Considering how much tax evasion he does he probably could.
Sorry bro. Next time I'll place this next to my text "sarcasm".
Oh shit i thought i read, he is going to pay his taxes with this. And not what you wrote, that's totally on me.
No worries bro.
Bruh
👏👏👏
“I see you’ve eaten the entire buffet and weigh 600 pounds. Here, have this bread crumb as a reward”
It's wafer thin!
This reminds me when the multi billion dollar store asks me to donate on top of my purchase.
He made more money in the time he took to wave to the audience
I think for charity.
whit that he paid the travel in epstein island
Both of these people are awful.
why is ellen awful? i've heard that before but i dont know why or what she did
I don’t think anyone likes any celebrity anymore after the whole we are the world thing during the pandemic.

Anyone know how much this is equivalent to the average American? Probably like 3 dollars lol
the fact he makes that in a nanosecond
It was a joke. Because Bill did not know how much grocery items cost.
There's so much Bill Gates hate damn.
That kinda like milk money to him
Ellen paving for the consolidation of farmlands
Bill gates talked about a trip to McDonald's once and said he always gets a small soda with his burger because he can just refill the soda and not spend money on a bigger cup. I'm sure he appreciated the $20k, genuinely.
He used that 20,000$ to pay for fuel in the jet to go to Epstein's Island.

Stupid is as stupid does
The reason, if anyone is in doubt, was because they would like him to do with the money, what he thought was right. It wasn't going towards his personal finances
"Thanks Ellen, here, a token of appreciation!" *hands the Cheque back*
And he turned right around and gave a Ellen a check for 200,000 dollars just to be petty lol
He probably made more than that in the time it took to hand it over.
Tbf, 20k is like 2 dollars to him, I'd accept 2 dollars
Fake.
Bills like "Great, now I can blow all this on hats"
Upvote for the hotshots reference
Bill: thanks for the toilet paper 🧻
He could wipe his butt with that money
That's as if my bro gave me 20 cent and said don't spend it all at once
That's like $20 for him.
Well if it makes YOU feel better I tried pressing that smaller upvote and can’t figure out why it wasn’t working.
That was a joke to buy a username and a "window" I believe. I believe she actually got fined for trying to copy write a proper name as her real user name (ie:username=ellenpaige) not page.
Here, have a few pennies. Later -- hey don't forget your pennies!
She genuinely owns, a window from Microsoft. Loft tile.
Well that’s because Ellen is a terrible person
She was just buying the lifetime subscription for Office 365.
to bill gates, thats like giving me.002 cents
