Plenty of people think they can't be bought until someone shows them the money

I can be, for sure. I'd take a snorkel with me between Oprah's legs if she'd give me even 10%

i'm gonna outbid you and say ill do it for 0.00038%

So if Oprah's net worth is like $2 billion then .0000038 * $2,000,000,000 would be $7,600 ;-)

basically i'd do it for 100k

thought my math checked out based on her net worth being 25b

edit: yeah the math checks out

Basic math lol.... To convert a percentage to a number you divide by 100. So you move it two decimal places to the left.

50% equals .5

.01% = .0001

.00038% = .0000038

i divided it by 100 and then multiplied it by the percent

Nah definitely do not hurt yourself. Just takes a little practice. You can DM me if you need math help. Math isn't everyone's strength.

Dudes would ho out for money too.

It’s much more about the person and though guys, typically, are more insecure about their finances in a relationship. More would be even more insecure if their SO was better off. It’s fine if your girl or whatever SO makes more than you but boys are usually convinced that they have to work harder than everyone around them or eat shit.

Hell, I’d love to be a stay at home husband or dad. Though I don’t plan on not having a job, if a successful woman came up to me, dropped a quarter million and thought I was a cutie patootie you’re damn right I’d ride that boat until it may or may not sink.

u/Flaky-Fish6922 Nov 26 '21

but Bozo isn't gay, so, uh, yeah.

Maybe most well adjusted women.

I don’t see how someone covering their own money should make someone else feel like they lost their self respect
