Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I was not refuting your point, just adding my own point after it. Our personal experiences obviously differ. I've had to give facility tours to security details in advance of a UHNW individual's arrival on multiple occasions.
That makes sense. I do not know any famous people at all. I know some retired performers who are still on the con circuit, but they'd never be recognized, and they're not billionaires. The billionaires I've met all look like they shop at Target and they put all their money into their family and into assets. You wouldn't know to look at them, at least I wouldn't.
