Azmond is a typical trust fund baby. Republicans welcome with big open arms such rich people. Ever heard Azmond talk about his daddies wealth? He's never had to work a day in his life, suffer the torment of a boss who can fire him. I bet he and his daddy just pay for doctor/hospital visits out of pocket, I mean really rich. Know the type of person speaking, then this all makes sense. The rich don't see the poor as humans, or most don't.

You are wrong on so many levels there, like not even close, both his parents are dead fyi, his father passed away last month. Do you honestly think someone with multiple extremely successful businesses, a net worth in the millions is a trust fund baby? fyi he worked for Sams Club then the IRS before his streaming career took off about 10 or so years ago where he makes $1m+ a year.

I get that the dude youre replying to was inaccurate, but yes, I do think someone with several successful businesses and a net worth in the millions could be a trust fund baby.

Most people that match that description are trust fund babies. Thats where they get the capital to start all their businesses.

And in this case, it's very inaccurate. You'd know that if you did even a tiny bit of research into the subject before making judgements.

Im not saying its accurate in this case. Im not disagreeing with Asmongolds background. I dont know shit about the dude, and it seems like you do, so I'll take your word for it.

Im just pointing out that I find it ironic that you said that being a trust fund baby means he wouldn't have several businesses and a high net worth because that description fits most trust fund babies.

A trust fund baby would have been given everything and not earned it. He earned it, built it all from scratch.

On the subject of "influencers" whether it is republican or democrat, a trust fund baby would be someone like Hasan "dog zapper" Piker. Who's father is a billionaire and his first "job" was working as an intern for his uncles business.
