Wealthy New Yorker Horrified By Prospect Of 20-Minute Walk
Walking? For 20 minutes? My father did not make all this money for me to be forced to mingle with you commoners

He's not a real rich man. Just some dude with a little more money than the others - the worst kind, they feel more entitled that true wealthy people.
Real rich people don't even touch the ground. They helicopter in and out of their luxury skyscrapers.
I worked with a guy who had worked at a restaurant when he was younger. There was this older man who'd come to eat lunch once a week, every single week.
After a while my coworker learned that this man was so filthy rich he'd fly in on a helicopter from Stockholm to have his lunches there. I don't remember exactly where the restaurant was, but it was a decent bit away, not in the outskirts of Stockholm at least. The man eventually bought the restaurant from the owners, at which point he'd ensure that it was always open for his weekly lunches. I think he bought the restaurant because they'd keep the restaurant closed on holidays and he wasn't happy about that.
The long and the short of it though, is that this bullshit actually happens. There are people out there that can fly helicopters hither and dither, and casually buy restaurants.
Them: "We're now open on Christmas."
Me: "Yeah? Let me know how THAT turns out. I mean, I won't be here, so it'll be interesting to see how THAT works out!
If he was really rich, the $9 toll would not be worth his notice and certainly not worth the time and energy to whine about it.
Really, he should be happy that the toll will keep some of the poors out of his way so he can drive in slightly less traffic.
This is especially rich coming from a guy who lives in an area famously known as Billionaire’s Row where monthly rent would likely be north of $10,000. He’s also the founder of Buttonwood Development and Town Residential, two real estate companies that are worth quite a bit of money. Even if he paid $18 to visit his kids every single day, that’s only $6,500 or so per year. He probably spends more than that on a bottle of wine at dinner. The man just doesn’t want to walk even though we know walking is good for longevity, and the ultra-wealthy are obsessed with longevity.
😂
He probably pays his personal trainer 1000 bucks a day
Someone on another other thread poited out that he would only need to enter the zone because 61st and 5th are both one-way streets, forcing you to go down to 59th street before you can then back north.
This is not necessary on the return trip, so it's not even $18 , it's $9.
He could also completely avoid it by getting a parking spot on Madison Av. instead
When even the car blogs call you out on your bullshit...
He is just finding another reason to avoid his family. And he is using the media to make it seem like it is not because he is a bad father.
