"Humility problem" - Lool mate he couldn't be more humble. he seemed a little drunk, but he's allowed to feel happy with his achievements.

[YouToBeVP]

everyone in the comments: he's not bragging he's just proud of his achievements!

me: how tf is the taxi driver driving and filming this at the same time

[kartikeyajha]

Honestly, I didn’t find anything even remotely offensive in the “video”

[Canto]

“Why he wouldn’t be in a private car with his own driver i dont know.”
Maybe that’s because he doesn’t think he is above taking a taxi like anyone else in the world. Which is cool imo.

[esaidecasas]

so dumb, he was not bragging, simply telling what he does, rappers brag all day and got millions repeating there lyrics.

[Sharpshooter]

“Humility problem” as he says “it’s an honor to be in this cab”

[tantradossantos]

"It is an honor to be in your taxi cab.."
Sums it up to me...

[tedphillips]

The guy is a billionaire and still has the humility to help his cab driver make a youtube video. Seems like a great man.

[Unpopular-channel]

He seems honest and amiable. He definitely has a good sense of humour I can say from his smile.

[awrjkf]

You can tell by his smile and eyes that he just feels happy and grateful of his achievements. I don't see any arrogance in him.

[LindelweJNcube]

"It's an honor to be in the back of your taxi"... I like this guy.

[EITFM]

They were obviously chatting, driver realizes he has a big wig in his car, whips out his phone and asks him what he does for a living for the content. Guy gives a straight answer instead of the standard vague “i’m in the financial services industry” trying to end the conversation as quickly as possible. I’m a successful entrepreneur and that’s what I always do even though I genuinely enjoy talking to people, answering questions, and giving advice. I’ve learned to always keep my guard up because being honest is often misconstrued as bragging.

[Brain.]

This isn’t even bad fr he wasn’t even boasting fr he just answered the question

[davidtucker]

To get rich in life, you need to spend less and invest more. You don't expect to spend 90%, invest 10% and sit to make more wealth.

[JohnDoe-bmlp]

"It's an honor to be in the back of your taxi"
Just a slightly buzzed lad havong banter and he's being polite where's the problem?

[thewrongguy]

He seemed excited, like when you're proud of yourself and want to tell someone. He seemed like a perfectly decent person.

[thenon-gaapbillionaire]

I dont see any problem with that guy. People are often proud of their achievements, it's one of those human things.

[dtdude]

The guy couldn't have been more nice and appeared humble. The world has gone mad. Up is down and down is up.

[keithsj]

And...? Rich people aren't allowed to mildly brag on occasion? What about rap videos? That's all they do but far more brash then this laid back, mild mannered apparent billionaire. He should apologize for nothing.

[hunterschulz]

a “humility” problem... sounds like the cab driver enticed the conversation, being the single best out of 7 billion people is something to brag about.
