    “Even if you are doing something good in life, there is a lot of hate. I don’t really have any enemies, I think a lot of people just can’t see someone young, do good. I have a supercar at 20, they can’t put up with it.”

    Bro is trading crypto and thinking he’s a modern hero. I hope someone tags the car again when it’s cleaned.

    “it’s not much of a loss for me, I make £6-7,000 in my sleep.”

    Whereas most people would need to work full time for three or four months, whilst being very much awake, to make the same amount, you vile, immoral parasite.

      When Wasseem was just pushing 19-years-old he hit his first £1 million after trading currencies, social media work, real estate and other avenues.

      So, lucky trades, crypto(?), then - presumably - slum lord of some description.

      Truly the cream of the crop.

      Yep that’s exactly where I’m at.

      I never understand where these people just obtain their free money glitch. I work hard and can barely sustain things even with absurdly cheap rent.

        You don’t become wealthy from hard work. You need to lie about the value of your labor or get others to do tge labor for you.

        I mean he’s probably lying. But with enough money and enough lack of morality you can still make money pumping and dumping shit coins, I’m sure.

          with enough money

          There’s the problem lol, every time I think about trying to start investing I realize how little money it would make because of how little I have spare to invest.

          Maybe a bad way to look at it but it just feels hopeless

    I like how they’ve obfuscated the number plate of a bright yellow Audi covered in graffiti so no one can ID it.

    Also, has he tried simply covering it up?

    Side note.

    Back in 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and a new Jaguar was about $6,000.00

    If a minimum wage worker really wanted one, he could buy a supercar. $1.00 x 40 x 52 =2,080. Three years ot buy the car.

    $15.00 x 40 x 52 = 31,000. Ten years work to buy that car.

      Back in 1960 this story is in the UK and we were never paid in dollars.

      If a minimum wage worker wanted a jaguar his mam would have clipped him round the ear and told him to get a grip.

      Edit: there’s some confusion that I’ve conflated minimum wage with teenagers… But here. In the North of England, we still have multigenerational houses in the working class… And more than that. If I act like a dafty, my Mam would still happily travel across town to clip me and I’m an old man.

        That’s a bit beside the point, innit? Whether the wealth inequality started high enough that it was unattainable then, it’s surely a bigger gap now, right?

        I like the way you buy into the myth that the only people who make minimum wage are teenagers.

        That’s a mythical myth that isn’t true. Hence, calling it a myth.

          I like the way you assume that anyone in the UK who has a mam that would clip them is a teenager.

          You made a massive assumption on how the working class lives here.

      Nah, I don’t particularly care about property damage to wealthy people. They have plenty and it gets money back into the community they’re stealing their wealth from. Especially when on a societal level, they care about property more than people.

        Exactly, the vandalism is just job creation, the wealthy are always touting that as one of their virtues, so I see no problem here.

      Nah, it’s fine. As another commenter pointed out, owner said so himself:

      it’s not much of a loss for me, I make £6-7,000 in my sleep.

      For me it depends very much on the person owning the car.

      From the phrasing of the words I’m convinced it’s an insufferable prick, that besides owning the car has done much more to get this treatment.

      But on this matter I remain convincible of the contrary.

        Seconded.

        A millionaire at 20 buying a status sports car kinda has limited possibilities.

        Family money, got lucky and sold some IP, or did vapid human stuff on social media as an influencer.

        None of these things are necessarily an indication of what kind of person they are, however being worth million(s?) at 20 leans pretty heavily towards entitled douchewad vs well grounded commoner.

      i know liberals dont have a brain, but how bad must it be for fellow citizens until you accept that this car should not even exist in the first place as long as others have to live on the streets?

      maybe try this:

      1. are you for a more or less fair world?

      if your answer is yes, please proceed to question 2:

      1. how many people have access to a washing machine?

      you’ll notice: not even half of the people. and there are not enough metals on earth for everyone to have a washing machine.

      1. are you willing to give up you washing machine/car to prove you did not lie on question 1?

      so owning this sportscar always makes you the asshole. always. you can not be a humble nice person and own an R8. I double checked: 100% assholes.

        i know liberals dont have a brain,

        First I’m not a liberal (at least not how you’d likely conceive of liberalism), second if you have valid ideas you should be able to defend them without resorting to ad hominem.

        are you for a more or less fair world?

        Mostly a more fair world, but honestly fairness is not the point. If everyone can live with a millionaire’s quality of life and the ultra wealthy can’t exert outsized influence on society then I don’t care about the existence of the billionaire or even trillionaire. Yes, I know you can’t have both within capitalism, but my point is that eliminating the ultra wealthy is a means, not an end. Writing shit on a random guy’s car does nothing to improve the common person’s life. Also just to make that clear: Even assholes have rights.
