  • Man how can you be depressed with 3 billion?!

    What the F?!

  • HELLO!!! Just because someone is a technical billionaire doesn't mean anything. Not everyone with a high net worth has LIQUID wealth. That is obviously the case here because with 3 billion in cash you would be able to finish the pool and you wouldn't have to sell the yacht. So obviously this guy went from having access to cash (liquid wealth), to not having that much of it anymore. I'd be a bit down if that happened to me too!

  • Wait a minute, 3 billion, and let's say that you only grew that at 2% interest, you'd make 60 million a year. Let's take off 25 million for taxes, you make 35 million a year 35 million / 365 days = $95890.41 a day. You couldn't spend away your fortune if you spent $100,000 dollars a day, since he probably makes twice that much. What a douche nozzle.

  • 23 depressed rich fucks!

  • Even rich people are people. This is lost when on a lot of people when they're calling to punish the rich and redistribute their wealth. According to the nonsensical views put forward in this video, no one in the United States should ever be depressed. We are economically so far beyond the 3rd world, and certainly the whole of human history, that we should never let anything bother us. Humans don't work that way. They're entitled to their feelings, even if they are rich.

  • I'd be very happy to have just 1 million dollars;

    I put it at the bank, a special kind of interest they have in my country that gives 10% per year, and I'd live of the interest; I'm not sure I would be rich, in the sense that I could buy any crap that I could think of, but at least I'd be free.... I wouldn't have to work unless I wanted to; and I'd only work when I want to;

  • Cenk, depression isn't something to laugh at.

  • billionaires, yachts, and jets! oh my!

  • If I had billions of dollars, I'd be the happiest person alive.

  • This guy is my friends uncle lol

  • money doesnt buy happiness

    i have 3 billion dollars and i was just as happy when i had 4 billion

  • just so you know, the young turks; i hate you.

  • MONEY CANNOT NOT BUY YOU HAPPINESS

    Cenk BELIEVES in the myth of money being the answer to everything

    Cenk reveals that he is just as corrupt as the rich people he goes after... he only does it because he ENVIES them their useless billions.

    Cenk actually believes that money can buy happiness!

    A "Life coach" Show a billionaire how to spend money?

    This is why poor greedy people like Cenk will never understand the REAL rich,

    Billionaires HATE spending money: it DEPRESSES them to spend money

  • @turak0

    thats gotta be, prob. the dumbest shit i ever heard, they hate spending money , but yet he has a yact, a jet, swimming pool ?

  • @shaochiavang Unless you study the rich and live with them: you will never understand that everything you see about the super rich is a total fucking lie They are obsessed with status and numbers: they cannot enjoy life. their money literally makes them sick I worked in their houses and personally: knew millionaires in Beverly Hills they are all loners They have no friends. They are obsessed with money. Money is their god. They can never get enough MONEY. It is a sick addiction.

  • @shaochiavang You don't understand: the yacht and swimming pools are STATUS SYMBOLS: nothing else: having more swimming pools than anyone else, and a bigger yacht is a status-obsession

    At the same time they hate spending one cent on anything: that is WHY they are constantly unhappy: because in order to climb up the status ladder they are forced to spend more money, and the more money they spend the unhappier they become. You ever see Johnny Carson's yacht? Its almost as big as the QE2

  • @turak0

    could be. 

  • @shaochiavang Not could be... it's true. I got to know hem personally, politicians, millionaires, multi-millionaires who have HUNDRED of millions: and the richer they are: the more slimy they are, the more miserable they are, they sicker they are, the more they live in an artificial bubble of lies, the more they need to make more money, the greedier they become. Heroin is nothing compared to the addiction of having more money and making more money. That's why bankers are the worst.  Cont.

  • @shaochiavang Cont: What you don't know: is that the NORMAL expectancy of a banker is making nine hundred times more profit than you ever can. 900-1,000 times more PROFIT. That is the NORM of their greed. Anything LESS than 900% profit is UNACCEPTABLE: the level of this kind of insane greed is so sick, so stupid, so pointless, so evil: that it IS NEVER SPOKEN OF IN PUBLIC BY ANYONE. They are the worst money addictsin the world. You have no conception of how sick they are. Cont.

  • @shaochiavang Cont.. If the ordinary person EVER found out how disgusting and sick these super rich bankers and billionaiers actually are... If the billions of idiots who want to be rich EVER find out what kind of sick, disgusting, revolting people these sickos actually are: they will burn their mansions and yachts and melt their fucking gold reserves and never EVER try to get rich and live like that. And WHEN THAT HAPPENS: there will be no more poverty in the world.,,, Cont

  • Respond to this video... Cont... The point is.... the only fucking REASON that poverty exists in this world...... is because a few GREEDY motherfuckers have billions and trillions of dollars . Because they have MORE MONEY THAN THEY NEED. If greedy sick money addicts did not hoard billions of dollars: there would be no poverty in the world today. The point is... poverty exists BECAUSE of greed, not the other way around.. Get rid of greed and all poverty will disappear.

  • @turak0 Consider this - poverty is the default position for mankind. We spent almost our entire history in desperate poverty. The question isn't why is anyone poor, the question is how did anyone ever get rich? In a free market system, they get rich serving their fellow man, providing goods and services they want. In Fascism one gets rich by having ties to the government, and using force to steal money from others. People want the best for themselves - a system that ingores that fails.

  • @turak0

    but its like cenk said " for a billionaire to be depressed cus he went from 6 to 3 Billion is a insult of us middle class workers

  • Cenk it's not their responsibility to enjoy anything: I don't mean to go all "poor little rich boy" but it rich kids have some unfair stereotypes placed on them. They also have all these expectations on them like "You're rich you have to get perfect grades" etc. They don't have the option of being poor and having people applauding them for "overcoming adversity" so cut them some slack.

  • You really are hateful people to people who are different Young Turks

  • Well think about this.... if you had $100 and lost half of it, how would you feel?

    If you had $1,000 and lost $500 how would you feel?

    If you had $1M and lost $500,000 how would you feel?

    I would be extremely sad as well if I was that guy, $3B is a lot of money to lose. Not to mention selling all the assets... I mean I love this show but in this episode I have to say that I disagree with what they are saying.

  • @TheRacsta

    no, if you take a person that makes $50,000 a year, and give em $1B dollers, and they lose half of it. i bet you, they wont care. if you take away that same amount for someone who has the $1B already, then they'll be depressed. because people that works hard for their things, will understand how much a billionis, not someone who has the money already. get what im trying to say?

  • @shaochiavang I know exactly what your saying, I'm an average person, I would be happy with the money... but here they are used of living the life style, you say "If you take away that same amount for somone who has the $1B already, then they'll be depressed", that enforces my point.

    The average joe won't care for the loss, but a person who's used of living the lifestyle, used of living with all money will be depressed, therefore I find that TYT calling him an asshole is completely uncalled for

  • Look, Papa, the swimming pool is not even finished! And we can't go out in the water 'cause we no longer have the yacht! Oh, do tell, what must we do Papa?

    I love this show.

  • There was a multi-billionaire in Europe who went from something like 7 billion to 2 billion and he killed himself because he couldn't face life with only 2 billion. Of course, that doesn't count future earning on that 2 billion. At 4%, is income would be 80,000,000 per year. REALLY!

  • If I had that kind of money, then I would open up shelters for homeless people, battered women and their kids all over the USA. I'd even let the battered women bring their pets with them. I would also help the animal shelters that are already in the USA.

  • Comment removed

  • The pool is now known as the pacific ocean.

  • If I had 3 billion dollars I would live in the cheapest basic shelter and use my money on videogames, music and hookers!

  • WHAT THE MOTHER FUCKER 3 BILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 0:39 ana's british/australian accent is hilarious!!!

  • is dave wearing a Pure Pwnage Bandanna? holy shit he is!!! fuck YES!

  • OK ONE QUESTION , IS THE POOL BIG? BECAUSE IF ITS NOT ITS A WASTE OF MONEY IF IT IS ITS STILL A WASTE OF MONEY.Y DO U NEED A POOL THAT BIG? YOUR PROBABLY NOT EVEN GONNA SWIM IN IT!! A PARY OF 100 STILL WILL HAVE SOME ROOM 3 BILLION DOLLAR POOL..DAMN

  • Gee.. Donald Trump lost everything plus had mega millions of debt. Did he cry into his cornflakes? NO! He said he would pay off the debts and make the money back and more...and he did just that. If that arsehole applied himself like Trump did and made a comparative recovery, he would be a trillionaire in no time. What an idiot!

  • I cannot believe this shit!!!!! 3 fucking billion dollars...you know how much stuff u can do with " just " 1 million...jesus christ monkeyballs

  • IT's the fact that he lost 3 billion dollars.. not the fact that he has 3 billion left.. I wouldn't say he's an asshole.. But i have no explanation for the unfinished pool..

  • @overgrownjackass I have an explanation...his pool is as big as the golf of mexico

  • @overgrownjackass

    LOL, me too, like they said, how much did the pool cost? $3.2B haha. And if you lose $3B, then yes , you are allow to be mad, cus that is alota money

  • I like this guy. Where is he? I never see him on the recent TYT. He is funny and NOT boring like the girl and the other guy.

  • @LovesMike33 dude, Cenk is host of tyt lol, you think ben is the host, no way! ben is in like maybe 20% of their videos.

  • If a billionare got depressed over this, than it isn't mental, its just greed. He obviously doesn't have ENOUGH money.

  • think about all the problems and issues you are facing in your life right now. do u think 3 billion dollars would either fix or go along way to fixing all of the. it would work for me.

  • I'm a billionaire. I eat people like yourself every morning. To relieve my depression. Money doesn't make people happy. I now have 5 billion dollars, but I was just as happy when I had 4.8 billion. FML

    loljkjkjkjkjkjk

  • you should never ever be a life coach and it is possible to spend 3billion dollars your just to small minded to figure out how.

  • lol why would a millionaire be depressed?? haha sucks for him he deserves to be depressed coz he lost his money good fucking rich people suck dick.. rich people deserve to be casted off this earth

  • jealous much?

  • @Majic031

    of a billionaire??

    OF COOOOOURSE YOU DUMB MOTHAFUCKA HAHAHAHA

  • i was thinking that too lol how big is the pool? is it the whole ocean?

  • In a year, the average person needs 25k to Live..

    If i were to save up 100k, and i am use to having the extra lee-way and i only have 50k now, i would be upset.

    Mind you, i am what some would consider "Below middle class." But i understand the value of money and the perspective of living of other people.

    Calling someone an asshole because they lost half of their total money is akin to calling Micheal Jackson a snob because he only donated 450 million to charities.

  • @Athais

    soooo not the same thing.

  • @Athais True dat

  • it's probably more to the fact that his salary was cut in half... if i was making 50k a year and then I'm faced with 25k the next. i could still afford the necessities but the huge downfall would destroy myself confidence. especially if it was 3billion instead. the guy should still be considerably happy with what he still has though. hes not living on the streets or anything.

  • One damn expensive pool.

  • his dad died

    his dad blamed a company going down on him when it wasn't

    and he gave stuff away because he is a Scientologist

  • Earning an avg wage of 56k per year it would take 53,571 years to earn 3 billion dollars (before tax!).

    Everyones equal my arse!

  • just like I hate america, but I don't friggin go insulting them all day. ever stop to think we did nothing wrong, yet you just randomly insult an entire country? lol what do they teach you over there? going on just popular news, I base my criticism on Americans on their financial situation that caused everyone to suffer. Is it smart for me to call YOU a retard for that? No. because what did you do to cause that? nothing.

    btw the aussie economy is the only growing economy at the moment, owned lol

  • TERRORIST

  • MUTANT

  • ha owned.

    But really, it isn't fair to hate the general Americans for their messed up government.

  • chinas economy is growing too, dumbass

  • yeah like two seconds before I posted that comment. australia is the only country that did not go into recession. -facepalm-

  • 0:32

    LMFAsssssOOOOOOO

    xXDDDDD

  • the pool had top notch prostitutes for service 24/7, filled with champagne and the floors are gold plated.

  • i would be depressed if i lost half a billion

  • remember he still has 3 billion. lol

  • uhm... seriously how much is that fucking pool? and he lost 50% of his money... that is alot of your money... (if we are talking to you) but stil... 3 fucking billion dollars is enough to raise 30 generations of rich spoiled children... and you would still have enough to retire on... but how much was his fucking pool? and how big was his damn yacht?

  • Thanks for acknowledging the difference with clinical depression, Cenk :) Much appreciated.

  • I was thinking the exact same thing. haha

  • how much did your swimming pool cost for you to not be able to finish it with a half a billion dollars?

  • its half finish, i would assume that its like, a 250 million dollar pool i guess.but then, i dont htink there are such things..

  • fuck billionaire bitches,why dont you go to africa and say how depressed you are

    buy a shitload of cocaine and shut the fuck up

  • buy a whole mountain of cocaine. a whole fucking mountain.

  • if i had 3 billion dollars i'd buy the most useless shit

  • exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @eyesack9

    its pretty much impossible to use $3B even if you spent $1M a year

  • @shaochiavang it's not impossible, it's easy to blow $1 million in a day. Just spend it on cars and jewelry and other pointless expensive crap

  • @Cuddlebunzzzz

    yes, but that is a long way from $3B

  • @Cuddlebunzzzz

    plus, if you use $1M a day ( $365M per yr. ) it would take like 8.2yrs to use all your money, haha

  • @shaochiavang or you could just get a $3.2 billion pool and it'll be gone in a few months with some debt added on :p

  • @Cuddlebunzzzz

    that would be $200M in debt, lol but seriouslly, how much did the pool cost then ? haha

  • @eyesack9 So you'd buy a Republican? Wait, that explains everything.

  • @MacabreManifesto Screw being a Republican, I'd buy Fox News, turn it into a proper news channel and enjoy in a good dose of Schadenfreude watching all the right wing nutjobs literally lose their nut.

  • look at it this wat...

    You have to be really smart to get that rich.

    And I dont care how much money you still have left. Loosing 50% of all your money on some deal gone wrong is a big punch in the face.

    Also, loosing 3 billion is no joke.

    Ok, maybe he's got 3 billion left, but thats not the point. Now it takes the same bad luck 1 more time and your broke.

    Thats how it is.

  • yeah, losing 3 billion will make me mad as hell, but from my view, i dont have 3 billion, so idc, get it?

  • dont you just love all those stupid kids trying to act smart by acting stupid ;)

  • even if you have to pay electicity and property tax, food expense and all, lets say you just bought one house fo million some bucks..and 3 cars, its just gont possible, i dont see how anyone can use 3 billion dollars, in time it will be gone if your child gets it after you die, but $3B? i dont think i can do it, but ill love to try

  • for you buying a 2million dollar house is an impressive investment.

    For these guys it isnt. They know its a lot of money but they wont be throwing it around on things like this (unless its going to make them more money).

    The things these guys spend money on is investments (stock market etc). Also they own yachts and private jets and things like that. These things do not only cost tonnsss of money to buy, but especially to maintain!

  • yeah, that is why i sid the taxes and all that..but ill get a jet and private jet and all that too, but it wont rob you outta your money,

  • one jet wont, but all that money togetter on those acounts will most defenetly make a difference

  • you mean, the taxes, food, etc..matain of the jet, and everything, it will be alot, but i doubt it will even hit $700M,

  • haha, ok.

    What is 1% of a billion?

    Now think how much rare such a low tax rate is.

    Really im finished talking. I've got better things to do.

  • ayte

  • Ehh I dont think he would lose it all

  • money doesn't mean anything at all. if you believe it does, i never want to have a conversation with you.

    Ever heard of Eugene Reynolds? Canadian Multi millionaire who completely lost it, he literally ate licorice and gobstoppers for over 2 weeks whilst sitting in his basement watching the same movie- over and over. His health deteriorated but his business (NORDION) stayed strong, amazing!

  • People say money cant make you happy but i can even if you dont do fun stuff how about donating some of it... Doing something nice can make you happy

  • No correction money doesn't make you happy. It's what you do with it that makes you happy,

  • Correction ahahaha

    well having the money can make you happy in the 1st place so no corrections sir.

  • Misleading title in my opinion

  • lol what is with their accent immitating? they sound mental. but they make a good point. rich ppl are retarded. lol

  • I hate rich people.

  • If I had a billion dollars, the only thing that would cause me to be depressed would be if I lost my billion dollars or if one of my friends or family members passed away. Otherwise, I would have a smile on my face at all times knowing that I had soooo much money. I'd kill just to have a million right now.

  • You don't get it; our world is so fucked up, that to get rich you HAVE to be psycho. We don't have freedom, just a long leash-- and if you pull it the wrong way you get choked. it's so irrational that that you HAVE to be crazy to get rich-- it's not as obvious as it seems.

  • Descendant of Corganism at Amazon

  • having money wont make you happy but not having any will sure make you miserable

  • @dave997 Having money would make me happy. Not having to worry about food or rent, holy shit.. I'd be the happiest person on the planet.

  • @UnknownXV

    I agree with you. I would also be very happy to have this amount of money.

  • @dave997

    I agree with you 100% about this subject.

  • was that repret murdock?

  • A lot of you watching this probably have at least $10,000 in the bank, or in assets (Cars, computers, clothes etc.). Now, how would you feel if that suddenly turned into $5000? From an impoverished African's perspective you're still stinking rich so you'd be an asshole to complain!

    It's all about perspective.

  • you are a moron.

    you couldn't live comfortably of $10,000

    you couldn't live to spend $3,000,000,000

    hows that for perspective?

  • in Africa you could live like a king with $10,000 you dumbass piece of shit

    There are people starving all over the world while people are complaining that they can't afford a second car or whatever.

    I made a relevant observation, not a personal attack on you, you have no right to call me a moron you ignorant fucking retard.

  • The western world needs to stop thinking that if you moved to Africa everything would cost less than a cent, because that is just not true.

    Sure you could live with nomadic tribe for the rest of your life with $10,000. But i'd hardly call that living like a king.

    You could live for 3 years in Africa with ten grand but you'd have to go without the internet, without cable TV, without health care.

    But i wouldn't expect you to know that

  • The point still remains, the average middle class person in the Western world appears exceedingly rich to impoverished Africans. So I imagine that for them seeing people so depressed about losing value in their 401K must seem just as disgusting as these billionaires seem to us. I was simply offering a different perspective, and it is certainly a valid one. I did nothing to deserve your insult. Moreover, you cannot "expect" anything from me because you don't know anything about me.

  • yeah, it is impossible, even i you go buy like, fuckin 2million dollar houses and buy like 10 of em, 10 cars, its just not possible to use 3 billion

  • Money does not buy happiness

  • That applies when he's just rich and has no friends or something like that, but he's depressed about losing money even though he still has a shit load more than most humans make in a lifetime.

  • sometimes it does

  • If your upset about being down to 3 billion..YOURrrrr an asshoollee

  • that slap goes in the other direction. The back of his hand meets the other person's face while travelling at high velocity!

  • it is true, it's an insult to the rest of us when people whine that they only have 3 billion dollars

  • Look some ass hate business man from Germany (I think its Germany) offed himself because he lost most of the money from his company. The trouble is... his company was about to receive a bailout. So his death was pretty much a WTF.?

  • So a billionaire has billions of dollars to spend on themselves or is it a corporation's money?

  • Give him the death penalty.

  • This just shows how sick some of these super-rich guys are. 3B isn't enough -- they'll screw all the rest of us out of our breadcrumbs to get another 3B. A billion dollars is a thousand dollars a day for 2700 years -- if that isn't enough for you, there's something wrong with you.

  • Thanks Cenk for appreciating us with clinical depressions.

    Anyway, he might have been feeling inadequate or stupid or something for losing that much money, and not be depressed for feeling "poorer".

    I have a suggestion to him: Give most of the other half to charity.

  • I have clinical depression, so fuck those goddamn rich aussies.

  • This clip is hilarious. Two thumbs up!

  • I think i would get depressed if i was so rich. You reached the top, now there's nothing left to archive. The journey is the reward.

  • yes ive been depressed before (in the generic sense not DSMIV diagnosed) and even though im 'only' a millionaire it doesn't safeguard you from life experiences.

  • ur a fucking millionaire?! for real?!

  • in America there are thousands of us... no other country has as many - it really is true, America is the land of opportunity.

  • A better measure would be millionaires per 100,000 people say. America is the western country with the most people in it so I wouldn't be surprised if it had the most millionaires.

  • national geographic did an article on it and i dont recall if it was per capita, but the USA had the most millionaires by a huge margin. i think england was 2nd but i really dont remember.

  • Not necessarily all positive though! The videos on where bailout bonuses would seem to suggest that a lot of people are getting money without earning it.

  • not positive at all - but since when was altruism and ethics prerequisites to wealth? as a matter of fact, i know a few people who were easily corrupted by the lure of wealth, and they're paying for it now.

  • For sure, but I imagine you'd agree that a country which maximizes the chance to be very wealthy isn't necessarily one which is the fairest or presents the most opportunity to the average person.

  • not the fairest, not the worst. the rich get richer and the poor stay poor.

  • XD Your an idiot.

  • it's 'you're', idiot.

  • Nahh this is the internet, you prick. Spelling doesnt matter ;) XD

  • your pain makes me smile, :-)

  • XD Should I be scared? :P Cause... I'm not XD Oh, and that kinda proves your not a millionaire XD

  • :-)

  • XD You're a 'millionaire' on youtube... Who's arguing with a child...

    XD

  • :-)

  • XD how immature XD

  • :-)

  • :O Cause you're not predictable :O

  • :-)

  • XD So blatently not a millionare XD Stop lying mate. It's pretty obvious your either some 50 year old virgin who lives with his mum designing video games, or some 12 year old kid wanting people to believe he is a millionaire.

    You're countries shit. :O

    Oh and before you say it,

    :-)

  • :-)

  • :-]

  • How can you hate your own country? =/

  • Fucking cock how can u hate americans u twat ur from fucking america u retard. fucking america is fucing amazing u dick head go fucking hate someone elses country u cock

  • Lol although I agree with him for being an idiot for hating his own country - I can see why. It's rubbish XD It's the most obese and hated country in the world XD

  • :-)

  • Go fuck a sheep, arrogant little Brit boy.

  • XD Calm down it's only youtube mate. You're country is a failure, nothing wrong with it though. You go back to you're macdonalds and burger king :) It's okay

  • yea any human being can get depressed when its a true reason, like a death in the family or a debilitating disease or something.......but if you have that much money, FUCK NO! because by that point the only reason why you would worry about having 10 billion instead of 11 billion, its all about trying to top some other billionare.......fuck those people
