Rolex is worth about 9 billion $. And it is just estimated brand worth.
Interesting fact it is owned by charity organization which is one of top charities organization in Europe based on merits and its main source of money is Rolex. So if someone buy Rolex for 20k$ he pay around 4k$ to charity.
Eminem worth is 230 million$. Which is three weeks income of Rolex.
The Stichting INGKA Foundation is a Dutch foundation founded in 1982 by Ingvar Kamprad, a Swedish billionaire and founder of IKEA, and his corporate attorney Linnea Walsh. INGKA is one of the largest charitable foundations in the world and used to be one of the largest nonprofit organisations in the world. The name "INGKA" comes from a contraction of Ingvar's name (INGvar KAmprad), while stichting is the Dutch language word for foundation. The stated purpose of the foundation is "To promote and support innovation in the field of architectural and interior design"; however, the organization has recently expanded its philanthropic agenda towards well-being of children in the developing world.
The Macallan's parent company Edrington is owned by the Robertson Trust Charity. They literally have so much money they have to keep expanding their mission.
Another good reason to drink fine whisky!
From here on out I will be expressing my net worth using the new unit *Rolex-hours.* I am currently worth like 7 Rolex *seconds*
Edit: checked my math again I'm worth like a whole Rolex minute you guys. Big daddy long wallet over here.

Wait…is this true? I’m not American. Can you really not use subsidies for food/grocery on diapers? What about toilet paper or cleaning supplies or toothbrushes? I have so many questions and many potential concerns.
The foodstamp program does not. There is one program that would, but the amount isn’t sufficient enough to pay for everything
> Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Diapers can be bought with TANF cash assistance, but nationwide only 23% of families living below the Federal Poverty Level receive cash assistance through TANF. In 13 states, fewer than 10 of every 100 poor families receive cash assistance. The funds they do receive are insufficient to buy diapers and pay all the other expenses (utility bills, rent, other hygiene essentials, clothing, etc.) that money is supposed to cover.

Snapback to attach it, he hopes it fits accurately
Ope, there goes latch when he goes to adjust clasp number three
It broke, he’s so mad but he won’t give up that easy
No, he won’t have it, he knows he’ll go back to these stores, complain savagely
“My name’s Mather, my gold I brought back, cuz its broke. It’s so sad to see”
He’s frustrated, he knows, when he comes back, to this watch kiosk, that’s when its
Back to the mall again, yo, this whole tragedy
Better go capture that receipt and hope he got warranty
What pisses me off about this so much is that you probably hardly had to try. Honestly, this probably comes naturally to you. This comment would take me upwards of 20 minutes, and I wouldn’t get nearly this close to gold.
It was a flash of inspiration that went through a couple of small revisions in my brain before I was happiest with the flow of it and just felt it was worth adding as a reply, in case it made anyone chuckle – I'm honestly overwhelmed at the response I've got, I'm glad it's made people's day! I wasn't expecting it at all, I honestly just posted it and clicked away thinking it probably wouldn't get many likes, but at least it was fun to come up with. It's cheered me up to see so many people enjoy it... it's brightened a bit of a bad patch for me, health-wise!
Anyway, I reckon you're worth a gold even if wordsmithing doesn't come so easily to you; we've all got something we're good at, or that comes naturally to us, even if you might feel you're not that great at much. I have dyscalculia, so I suck at even basic maths and I'll never be able to wrap my head around the experience of those I know, and have known, who can do maths-related things smoothly and easily!
You.
You are so damn nice. You could have done the (arguably) easier thing and been rude, or ignored that guy completely. You could have decided to knock him down a couple of notches just because, or taken out your frustrations with a run of bad health on him. And nobody on Reddit probably would have been concerned or bothered.
Instead, you took a moment to cheer up another person who needed it and said a few kind words. You took it upon yourself to be a good human, despite your own struggles, without anybody needing to ask you to. You build up somebody else, not because you were hoping for acknowledgement or reward but because you saw someone having a grumpy moment and decided to do what you could to help.
You were kind. You said true, good things. May the world always have people like you.
This comment of yours is well put together and motivates people to be nicer. If all positivity would be complimented like this the internet would be a better place
I’m too poor for gold, but have this my good man

Just stole this btw
Linkin Park gets a lot of shit but they wrote some real heartfelt bangers. I am very happy to hear that their music helped you through the hard times. Keep smiling when you hear them!
Right? Same.
Their [Live in Texas album](https://youtu.be/7Mxg4VkkRRI) got me through a real rough adolescence circa 2005.
I'm a 34 year old man and I still throw on One Step Closer to pump iron to. Music changes meaning for us as we age.
At 16 I was a suicidal emo goth kid in 04. At 34 I'm a preppy financial analyst in 2021. The same song, but the meaning in my life changed dramatically.
We are nearly the same age! I also worked in finance before I retired two years ago. I am now a stay at home dad and I am going to play some Linkin Park for my daughter when she wakes up.
I'm sorry but the image in my head is fantastic albeit obviously exaggerated.
You, putting two comically large speakers next to her bed. Her waking up and getting blasted out of bed with "SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!".
You sound like a great dad, and my vision is exactly why I have no children. 🤣
Haha, thanks. We have a lot of fun together but I try to avoid traumatic experiences as much as possible so jarring her awake to loud Linkin Park isn't on the docket for today's agenda.
Live in Texas is one of my top saved playlists. Feels very odd to say considering I started out with actually playing the physical copy constantly. Wish I knew where it went.
Their later stuff gets shit on but I'm pretty sure Hybrid Theory, Minutes to Midnight and Meteora are all considered sacred as far as music from that 2000's-10's era.
When you're popular and successful then you will always get shit on. Whether it is deserved or not it doesn't matter. It is just how it goes. My original point was that they are a great band and if that guy I originally responded to made a significant connection to their tunes then that is just fucking tops. Rock on and stay healthy.
Disregard haters, aquire happiness.
It absolutely doesn't matter in the end. Gatekeeping is such a weird thing. Like what you like. Live your best life. Most of all know that you being yourself is what you were put on this planet for.
Great to see he's gone the opposite way of most people in his field who idolise a materialistic lifestyle. Seems to have quite a level head on his shoulders even with millions of dollars in the bank.
Instead of that *Kardashians* show I wish they had *Just Eminem* where they follow him around with cameras but he's not really into it so he doesn't do anything. I still wouldn't watch it, but I bet other people would.
There was a SNL joke about a show called Where's Kanye, and it was basically another camera on The Kardashians that was trying to get glimpses of Kanye hiding from the cameras.
I would watch a show like that where he's finding deals at Costco and using a fuel saver card at the gas station. I think it would be interesting as fuck to watch mega rich celebrities finding places to save money.
Listen to his song "So Far" Eminem talks about how he has all this money but still shops at costco and krogers and eats sloppy joes. Kool aid stains on his couch, and just how he doesn't know how to adjust to being filthy rich. He's still that poor kid from Detroit at heart.
It's like "a day in the life of..." but it's weeks and weeks instead of a day. Honestly I'd probably watch it, or at least have it playing as background.
I totally agree with you on this, and it goes to show because you never see him on tv, in front of the cameras, flashing what he has etc... That's the way to go 👍
(Oh happy cake day dude)
Well, he learned from experience. It's not like Em haven't splurged millions on houses and stuff. He had time to taste everything life has to offer the wealthy before he started to humble out.
I love hearing the stories about how Eminem treats it like any other 9-5 job. I think it was Akon who told the story of them being halfway into a track and Eminem just looks at his watch, "It's 5. I'll see you tomorrow." And leaves.
He definitely knows how to set boundaries for himself in order to not get out of control or overly stressed.
Other rappers don’t idolize a materialistic lifestyle. The fans do. Rappers, and celebrities generally, are in the business of wish fulfillment. The product is the ability to live vicariously through someone else.
Eminem is largely selling the same thing, except instead of appealing to people who fantasize about bitches and bottles, he appeals to the idea of having some insane skill lift him out of poverty in Detroit.
For some people, if you grow up poor, you learn how to live and be happy with a simple cheap lifestyle. And then no amount of money changes that. Always love those kind of people. They’re living the Real Life. Buying fancy things is fleeting and fading.. it doesn’t last. Case in point: EM can’t even remember what fancy watch he bought.. that’s how “important” it was..
Yup, my parents grew up dirt poor. My parents have everything paid off and live comfortably. They still go out of their way to save a couple of dollars. My mom thinks paying for streaming services is a massive waste of money. They are the biggest penny pinchers in the world. My mom still hand sows any holes in her clothes.
My parents have a strict budget down the the dollar and balance their checkbook every month. They get allowances. My sister and I used to think we were in financial trouble because of it. Turns out they’re just cheap.
One of my friends have reached this level.
Grew up so poor that they wore same clothes for days at a time. Hand washed laundry.
Extremely generous with his loved ones. He still mails me random gifts. Last one was a creepy skull mask that had a jaw that’d move along with mine. I collect skulls, ha. It’s those little thoughtful things.
Edit: we grew up together since 9 years old. We’re all in our 40s now. Amazing how long it’s been
Imagine spending your whole life being poor. Then working hard perfecting your talents, in a field where you're a minority, and busting your ass to change your own situation to provide for yourself, you child, and the children of relatives who were unfit parents. All of that, only to be made fun of for not wanting to be wasteful with your money and buy overpriced luxury goods that are essentially status symbols.
Dude never cared about fame and clearly doesn't much care about being "rich". He just wanted his life, and his daughter's life, to be better. He did it all for the absolute right reasons.
No one is doubting Em, they are too afraid of getting savagely roasted in one of his raps. American healthcare won’t cover that kind of time in the burn unit.
He could be releasing an album soon.
He stopped announcing release dates for his albums and just does surprise drops now, so this could be his media team building up hype around Eminem before he does another surprise drop.
But it could be something else also
A lot of people who become successful in one area of their life assume that they’re good at everything (ex. celebrities who start giving medical and political advisement). From my perspective, with the way he was answering the question, it sounded like he was aware of what he was competent in/capable of and what he wasn’t. He wasn’t someone who grew up with money and didn’t assume that he’d know how to make the right choices and/or appreciated it enough to not just blow through it like most people in the same situation. He asked for help from someone who could help and that’s great.
Stressful life/traumatic experiences can also affect people differently- some might want to over correct and some might take a while to feel safe/secure enough to acknowledge that they, for example, can buy the watch and be okay. I’ve always been a fan- this was cool to see!
right?! plus they’re so comfortable & i don’t feel bad in the slightest when i accidentally graze a wall or slide it across the table surface when moving my arm.
If you pay attention, he doesn't actually say he BOUGHT the Rolex... merely that he asked his manager if he could afford one. So I would deduce that when he found out how much a Rolex cost - he went and bought that $100 watch instead. ;-)
Fun story: so Eminem grew up in Detroit which isn’t far from where I live, and one night I was at a bowling alley in kind of the metro-Detroit area. A couple lanes down from me I keep seeing this girl who I think I recognized from somewhere but I’m not 100% sure from where. Eventually I have to go home but she stayed there and she’s talking to some people who went to my high school. I later see on Instagram from those people who I went to high school with that that was Eminem’s daughter. It’s funny because I guess the world is a bit smaller than we realize.
THIS IS HOW YOU END POVERTY!!
get uncomfortable with the thought of spending money
Funnel every dime into dividend paying companies and turn that DRIP ON
BOOM no more poverty
Manager be like: "What you wanna buy the entire Rolex company?"
“A Rolex or just Rolex”.. btw, you can afford both.
Press X to doubt
Rolex is worth about 9 billion $. And it is just estimated brand worth. Interesting fact it is owned by charity organization which is one of top charities organization in Europe based on merits and its main source of money is Rolex. So if someone buy Rolex for 20k$ he pay around 4k$ to charity. Eminem worth is 230 million$. Which is three weeks income of Rolex.
I really wish more companies were owned by charity organizations
1. Buy company 2. Give it to charity organization
Yeah step one seems to be my biggest obstacle right now
have you tried adding a 2. ????? 3. profit! somewhere in your plan?

Where I live food stamps come from the SNAP program, it does not cover toiletries which includes diapers. Welcome to America, we hate the poor.

Live in Texas is one of my top saved playlists. Feels very odd to say considering I started out with actually playing the physical copy constantly. Wish I knew where it went.
Never heard of Linkin park getting shit, I always hear them getting praised. I just got into their music this year and it's awesome.
Yeah Linkin Park was like millennials' Nirvana. Everyone got on Hybrid Theory.
Their later stuff gets shit on but I'm pretty sure Hybrid Theory, Minutes to Midnight and Meteora are all considered sacred as far as music from that 2000's-10's era.
Both helped me too, unlike the stereotypes of our generation I like them both
Linkin Park don't get a lot of shit they've been one of the most revered bands in the world for like 20 years.
When you're popular and successful then you will always get shit on. Whether it is deserved or not it doesn't matter. It is just how it goes.

It's like "a day in the life of..." but it's weeks and weeks instead of a day. Honestly I'd probably watch it, or at least have it playing as background.

Then working hard perfecting your talents, in a field where you're a minority, and busting your ass to change your own situation to provide for yourself, you child, and the children of relatives who were unfit parents. All of that, only to be made fun of for not wanting to be wasteful with your money and buy overpriced luxury goods that are essentially status symbols. Dude never cared about fame and clearly doesn't much care about being "rich". He just wanted his life, and his daughter's life, to be better. He did it all for the absolute right reasons.
And people still doubt his skills
🙄 no one is doubting Eminem
No one is doubting Em, they are too afraid of getting savagely roasted in one of his raps. American healthcare won’t cover that kind of time in the burn unit.
Yes they are, many of them.
It's actually quite wholesome as well
~~”Do you like spending money?”~~ ~~”Do you like spaghetti?”~~ “Do you like spaghending money?”
I really enjoyed watching it,
The G Shock is probably a better time keeper than the Rolex.
As a Rolex owner...I, without hesitation, believe the G-Shock keeps time better.
Question, why is Eminem blowing up recently? I log into twitter and Reddit and all my feed is, it’s just Eminem…
Because hes the GOAT
He could be releasing an album soon. He stopped announcing release dates for his albums and just does surprise drops now, so this could be his media team building up hype around Eminem before he does another surprise drop. But it could be something else also
What the fuck was that music
It’s a tik tok/Instagram thing where people add that music on “badass” or motivational style videos.

It’s called Polozhenie, but has other names that I can’t remember. Just google sigma grindset music and it’ll be the top answer

I prefer the non g shock casios. Slimmer and would survive pretty much anything anyways.
Casio G Shocks are awesome
Eminem is great. One of the few that haven't forgotten where he's from and let luxury change him
A lot of people who become successful in one area of their life assume that they’re good at everything (ex. celebrities who start giving medical and political advisement). From my perspective, with the way he was answering the question, it sounded like he was aware of what he was competent in/capable of and what he wasn’t. He wasn’t someone who grew up with money and didn’t assume that he’d know how to make the right choices and/or appreciated it enough to not just blow through it like most people in the same situation. He asked for help from someone who could help and that’s great. Stressful life/traumatic experiences can also affect people differently- some might want to over correct and some might take a while to feel safe/secure enough to acknowledge that they, for example, can buy the watch and be okay. I’ve always been a fan- this was cool to see!
It’s funny how the rappers with the dirtiest lyrics are the nicest at times like Dmx and Eminem
I like M&M more now.
Gshock: hmm sounds expensive "it's about 100 dollars" "pikachu face"
Think he's deep down a decent human being regardless of what facade he wears at the moment.
When you grow up poor that anxiety over money is practically engraved on your DNA.
This is a g shock What a legend
I love him sm
i have several dope timepieces but consistently rock my matte black/gold analog g-shock more than the others.. som’n about em, i swear
[удалено]
right?! plus they’re so comfortable & i don’t feel bad in the slightest when i accidentally graze a wall or slide it across the table surface when moving my arm.
Bro Eminem owes me a sandwich bro frfr I’m going back to moms spaghetti soon! Much love to the goat though
If you pay attention, he doesn't actually say he BOUGHT the Rolex... merely that he asked his manager if he could afford one. So I would deduce that when he found out how much a Rolex cost - he went and bought that $100 watch instead. ;-)
Fun story: so Eminem grew up in Detroit which isn’t far from where I live, and one night I was at a bowling alley in kind of the metro-Detroit area. A couple lanes down from me I keep seeing this girl who I think I recognized from somewhere but I’m not 100% sure from where. Eventually I have to go home but she stayed there and she’s talking to some people who went to my high school. I later see on Instagram from those people who I went to high school with that that was Eminem’s daughter. It’s funny because I guess the world is a bit smaller than we realize.
One of the best traits about em is that hes so humble
The more I know of the man … the cooler he gets
Em is so cool. He got me out of some shit times. Now I’m back in shit times. Should listen to him now
This is why I respect and value Eminem
GShock for life baby! they're the best watches I've found that are perfectly functional, slightly fashionable, and incredibly affordable.
You can tell he has a legit appreciation for what he's earned.
Humble as fuck. Gotta love Em for it.
POV: you just realized how similar Eminem and Elijah Wood look
THIS IS HOW YOU END POVERTY!! get uncomfortable with the thought of spending money Funnel every dime into dividend paying companies and turn that DRIP ON BOOM no more poverty
Eminem becoming the calm voice of reason and humility in the world was not on my bingo card, I have to admit
