Kevin O'Leary: What I Would Do If I Lost Everything

[ChrisInvests]

If Kevin goes broke, he'll make his money back quickly. He knows how to get rich 🤔

[Mohammed-oobg]

Development is profitable. Thus an underdeveloped place is an entrepreneurs dreamland. - Me

I don't think he understands what it means to "lose everything". I sorta wanted to know more along the lines of what he would do if he had exactly $0. You can't just pack up and go to India and start a food startup. How will you pay for that?

[DanielIles]

Success is rarely accidental. Once you make connections wealth can’t be stolen from you

100%. Love you Kevin #FF. Thank you for everything

Exactly. I was just thinking the same thing. I just posted this.

Hey Kevin, there is a nice old man who lives in my apartment building who is 77 years old, his rent is $1200 a month and his pensions $1600 per month so the bills are piling up and he can’t pay them. I told him “hey, why don’t fly to Asia and start up a some businesses, there are lots of opportunities there and you can make a ton of cash!”

Kevin, if you lost everything and you had to go on welfare, where are you going to get all the cash to do all these amazing business deals in Asia? Even better, since you don’t believe in social programs like welfare, unemployment insurance and pensions etc, and there are no social programs and you did not have family to help you, do you really think you’re going to be flying to Asia and starting up all these business? Actually you might, because you’re connected to all the corporatists and billionaires, on the other hand the average person is not.

Oh, I almost forgot.The people who invested and lost their life savings investing in FTX Krypto currency which you heavily promoted were wondering if you could pick up some dog food for them for dinner? It’s the least you can do. Like most of the ultra rich, Kevin lives in a bubble. Selfish.

Is this the only guy you can find to give talks?

[MsRitaZahara]

Invest in us?! AMGD is 3 years old and we are in 3 cities in Asia. We have the playbook for scale in healthy food. 500 menus and counting. 😉

"Myopic focus on health?" Tf?

[brandondane]

I would put pictures in the Bible for kids and then go into Mexico and give everyone a Walkman to help Mexicans follow along when learning to read.

Before you move to india and start a food business, know that majority of the food here is vegetarian and very healthy lol.😂

[Modern.Millennial]

While he's right that there are always business opportunities,


Good luck getting a business in Asia off the ground from the US or get the venture capital it takes to compete with $0 in the bank and no reputation/connections. Double that if you're 50+.

Life's weird when a Canadian who lost his money wants to start afresh in India while an Indian who never had any wants to start afresh in Canada
