— David Geffen’s picture-perfect self-seclusion is highlighting ugly divisions in the age of the coronavirus pandemic.
The photos of his luxury confinement aboard the 454-foot Rising Sun, one of the world’s biggest private vessels, triggered an immediate social-media backlash over the weekend. While the ship may seem like a floating haven, there’s the risk of a guest or crew member becoming ill. The getaway could “quickly turn into a quarantine nightmare,” according to industry publication Superyacht Times.
“Our market has basically come to a standstill overnight,” said Jonathan Beckett, chief executive officer of yacht broker Burgess. “It’s a matter of sitting it out and being able to afford to sit out.”
Geez, this is 3 days old...
Not like I, or us real people need to give a dam about what some billionaire does. But to speak on self isolation on it's own. If one was healthy and wasn't in contact with someone with the virus. Its the best solution, but if he gets it, well that's one less billionaire.
People hate the rich even more than they hate being poor.
Lay off, he signed Nirvana
Whine away, leftie crybabies and wokescolds. Most of us don’t care.
Would you rather have him in your living room?
Why, if you got the means what business is it of everyone else’s
ballin
If I could afford it, I would too. Also see King of Thailand.
Nothing wrong with being successful
More low life journalists taking the opportunity during the pandemic to push identity politics.
Not all prisons look alike
If I had a ship I would be doing the same with my family. Don’t be judgmental !
That’s the difference between the Left (Politics of Envy) and the Right (Politics of Ambition). There’s nothing about him being on that yacht that offends me in the slightest.
DictatorPope They can't be out there forever....
So people are outraged because they don't have that luxury? Ok..big deal. It shows a person's true nature if they can be hateful towards those who have more in life. I hope he's enjoying his isolation. What an awesome way to do it too!!! Stay safe everyone! Peace and love.
Why is everybody so jealous of one another! I'm envious, but power to you! Enjoy your billions!
I can complain that he does not pay enough taxes,that he is over paid,that the rich don’t pay their share BUT once he has his money we’ve allowed that. SO he is intitled to use it however he wishes.Everyone would do exactly like him.But if he’s rubbing it in then he’s an Ahole
Who cares , honestly it’s of no relevance to the average person
Seems a lot like our PM.
The haves pitting themselves against the have-nots. There was no reason for his tweet, except to flaunt.
he earned his money...he is self isolating....what's the issue?
If you worked hard for what you have, good for you! You own a yacht gr8! Just dont frigin shove it in other peoples faces that cant self isolate like that and instead have FRIGIN DIED! THAT is my problem with wealthy people their IGNORAMUS ARROGANCE! NOT bc theyre rich!
Some people are just ridiculous. He is isolated and not braking any laws.
perhaps he is moses?
When their supplies run out they will have to come up for more.... so no it's not a perfect isolation. Don't forget boats can sink and bunkers can burn....🚣♂️🔥😷
I've got way more to think about in my life than the comings and goings of billionaires.
