Gross, thanks.
Never meet your heroes.
I really feel that people really puts too much reverence into the words and actions of celebrities, and are disappointed when they are not the person who they appeared to be.
But, if you take a step back and actually think about it, you see these people on your screen every day, do you know who these people really are? Most of you have never met these people before in your life!
The person see on your screen in image and text form is not the actual person, but projections of the person behind the screen (a character, if you will). That’s what social media is, and that’s what all media are, you present your character to to the rest of the world and tries to sell the life of that character you made up. Of course, when the projection of the character in front of screen doesn’t match up with the person behind the character (Ellen, Cordon, Brand, now Kari Byron, etc.), of course you would feel cheated.
Maybe that’s why I’m here. I don’t want anything out of you other than to laugh at my shitty jokes, and I don’t really have anything to sell you other than some dumb movies. It’s rare to find that these days, and that’s really all there is to it.
After all, you are who you choose to be, so, I try to be someone better, someone you know that you can be proud of, and if you are still reading this, I do expect you to do your best, so I can be proud of you too.
I met Ben Heck at MRRF and he cooked me lunch. Nice humble guy that does a lot for the disabled gaming community. Now I know he’s not a huge celebrity but he’s been on TV and has had multiple shows.
I do love that your username is a celebrity.
No, like all real celebrities on other social media platforms, I, actual Hollywood superstar Margot Robbie, also use my real name to promote my movies on this obscure technology forum.
After all, why would a celebrity ever lie to you about who they are?
Since I’m still definitely an idiot and love a few celebs out there still, I would be legitimately so happy if that were true and MR was a secret tech nerd.
Plot twist, it’s her mom’s account.
Hot neird mom I feel like that’s gonna be a porn category soon
Can’t wait for her child to grow up and realize their mother shilled for Big Oil and they will suffer more than previous generations thanks to her.
A girl has to eat, but fuck…
Her net worth is north of $1.5 million. She doesn’t need the work to eat.
$1.5M is a comically low net worth for someone in her position with the career she had. Imagine hosting the largest show on a network like Discovery for more than a decade and being worth less than a regional fast food chain owner. Your comment put this whole thing into a different perspective to me.
That seems really low for even a minor celebrity. But I imagine there’s some royalty from the show that will keep coming over the next few years.
I work in tech and between my wife & I, our networth is over $3MM. We’re in our 40s. A big chunk of that is in our house, which we paid much less for and it has appreciated over the last 5 years. This increase in networth due to the house we live in does nothing to improve our day-to-day life, it just makes property taxes higher. I absolutely still need to work to be able to put food on the table. I mean, I can probably afford to not work for a year or so, but if I live until 80+, I still have 40 years of expenses that I need to save up for. so I will need to keep working. There are also some nice things that I want to buy, like a solar panel system, which should help us lower our expenses over the longer term.
Well that’s a shame
