    World's richest man can't summon up the self-confidence not to end his awkward brag with a "lol" like a nervous 16 year old testing the waters with a crush

        Didn't Carnegie and Vanderbilt (or some other steel guy) used to send each other deliberately shitty gifts? Like one of them was a teetotaler and received entire barrels of expensive whisky and the other was some kind of conservationist and received taxidermined animals or some shit.

        Probably, but twitter didn't exist so they were forced to spend their money on huge houses and getting university buildings named after themselves
        I joke, but it'd be nice if the mega capitalists got back into putting a ton of money into nature conservancy
