Let's see, O'Leary sold his company The Learning Center to Mattel for over $4 Bil. Hmmmm.. Yeah, as a result of the sale, The Learning Center did nothing but lose money for Mattel, they fired Mattel's CEO over it, and Mattel and O'Leary and his buddies got sued and they settled out of court for the massive losses of The Learning Center as the Mattel lawsuit was insinuating that the Learning Center (O'Leary & Co) was cooking the books to overvalue the deal to Mattel. What The Learning Center was, was a conglomeration of once popular titles that simply became outdated and worthless and under O'Leary and then Mattel, they simply couldn't develop anything worth buying. So, O'Leary was basically overvaluing a bunch of old, outdated titles dumping it on Mattel and walking away with a bunch of money. he doesn't tell you that on Shark Tank because no one researches the deal and challenges him when he rants about his old success, He was also just the President of the Company, The Learning Center, and they had a CEO, so Kevin was not the main person of The Learning Center. Plus, he can't run business with an actual product that heads up development, he just likes sitting at home eating bon bons waiting for checks to roll in because he's a selfish, lazy person that self absorbed and consumed by drinking alcohol.
You know there's not a person on this earth that's worth over $100 million that came by that money "honestly". Look at the Vanderbilt's, the Carnegie's, Hurst's, Rockefeller's. They just annexed territories, licenses and businesses, killed the native populations, imported slaves, sold guns to North and South, they were in Civil War and controlled the politicians and they're all considered American hero's today. In other words, doesn't matter how you make $100 million, nobody will care, as long as you do people will always respect you and look up to you.
jetliFAN Yeah, there are people worth over $100 Million that did it honestly. Look at someone that just invests in the stock market. They are just taking money, buying stocks, and selling them after they increase to a higher price point. VC's essentially invest in start up companies and they get a bunch of stock at a very cheap price because they are taking a huge risk and if the company is successful, they take the company public and sell the shares at a much higher price. That's being honest in making money. If the company isn't successful, and the company goes out of business, then the VC just writes it off at a loss and hopefully they have enough winners to make a profit. There are people that buy land at market value and hold on to it for a long enough period and then sell or develop property and make a fortune from it. Nothing dishonest about that. I do agree that there a lot of companies that do have CEO's that do things that aren't honest, or they do something that they can get sued over, and yeah, most companies get sued. Even if you got your money "honestly" you are still a target for frivolous lawsuits even if you've done nothing wrong. There are a lot of fucked up people that conjure up bullshit lawsuits to hopefully make a quick buck because they THINK that buy threatening a rich person might get a settlement to prevent bad publicity, even though they might not have done anything wrong because the cost of going to court is greater than what it costs to settle out of court, even if the plaintiff loses. It still costs money to defend frivolous cases. There are a lot of law firms that troll for money because they know that they get to keep a large majority of the money in the settlement for class action lawsuits because only a percentage of people even bother to submit their claim. So, please don't think that ALL Millionaires got their money dishonestly, that's simply not the case. Some people because millionaires because they worked for a company in the beginning that eventually turned into a big successful company and they were employed by that company for many years getting stock/stock options over a long period of time. Nothing wrong with that.
Oneness100 Most Wall Street Hedge Fund managers and portfolio managers are making millions with "hush hush" money. Inside information. You keep your mouth shut and pay off the politicians and donate to their causes so they look the other way so you don't get indicted and are allowed to do as you please. Happens everyday by every investment bank and hedge fund today. It's Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, you name it. There's very little honest money in the stock market. The people who make the "honest" money end up losing it in the end to the rich that'll always get richer while the middle class always get poorer. The only "honest" money is from lottery winners. They just pick a number and win $100 million, they didn't cheat to win. We're not talking about the guy who's got $1 million here or there, I was referring to the $100 million and more networth people.
jetliFAN I'm not talking about Hedge Fund managers, there are a lot of DIFFERENT types of investors out there. Some are scumbags and some aren't. Just because there are a few that are does NOT mean that all of them are. Just like Lawyers, there are scumbag lawyers and there are lawyers that aren't. It's like ANY profession. There is a percentage that are honest and a percentage that aren't. If you don't like Hedge Fund managers, then don't invest in Hedge Funds. With anything, it's buyer beware. There are people that are worth a lot more than $100 Million that made it honestly. Do you think that someone like Gordon Moore, whom is credited for inventing the microprocessor and he co-founded two successful semiconductor companies (Fairchild and Intel), he's worth $7 billion because of his stock in Intel and other investments he's made over the years. Did he get his wealth dishonestly? He was just an engineer that didn't run the company from a CEO perspective. There are lots of guys like Gordon Moore that weren't dishonest in how they achieved their wealth.
jetliFAN Any person that's with upper management of a corporation has insider information because they are in upper management have privileged information, but they have guidelines they have to adhere to. For instance, a CEO cannot sell off more than a small percentage of actual stock they own in a company they are the CEO. They also have certain time frames to sell whatever stock they can sell. If they get caught giving out insider information or doing something illegal, they can get severe fines and/or jail time, which does happen from time to time. It's a matter of what they are doing and if/when they get caught. Plenty of scum bags go to jail for illegal shit. Look at Michael Milken. He got fined, jail time and banned from the securities industry. Plenty of guys like that get caught, unfortunately some get away with it, but many do get caught.
