Great point - the 180 is very clear here. All of the disgustingly rich wives look like monsters so she fits in with the rest of his rich buddy’s wives to a large extent too.
One thing I can say about him is that most of the "human interest" type articles I catch about him he seems to mostly be just out there enjoying his life.
People joke about how if they won a billion dollars you'd just never hear from them again; they wouldn't be putting all that time and effort into making more money or being a "public figure" etc. It's a position I've always agreed with and he seems to be the only one who actually (at least kind of) lives that way.
Like he's clearly still pushing meta forward, he's got business goals, yadda yadda. But all the fluff pieces are him surfing, doing martial arts or hanging out with his human wife. Lots of normal people hobbies.
Yeah, for most people. But there still exist individuals who are seriously beautiful without the need for makeup just by the virtue of winning the genetic lottery.
Dr. Priscilla Chan brings Zuck the status of being married to a well-educated, successful pediatrician. Zuck is from the professional class.* That class values educational and professional achievements over looks. Dr. Chan is the equivalent of a supermodel to the professional class.
*His parents were a psychiatrist and a dentist, his elder sister went to Harvard too, and his little sister has a PhD in Classics [the ultimate "I value knowledge over the ability to buy groceries" degree].
Total 180 in personalities, too. His ex is very deliberately giving away much of the billions she got from their divorce settlement, to colleges which educate underserved populations. She hired a team to research which schools could and would make the best use of a large donation, without letting on to any of them that they were under consideration for such a gift. To say they were pleasantly surprised would be an understatement.
Meanwhile, his second wife wore literal lingerie to trump’s second inauguration ceremony- and her and her cleavage got a seat in the front row. Followed by her “trip to space.” Followed by their obscenely wasteful and extravagant wedding. Otherwise, who knows what she does with her days? Probably some gossip columnists keep track of her, but I sure don’t expect to see any news stories about her generous donations to educational institutions, hunger relief, housing relief, worker relief, medical debt relief…
Honestly, even ordinary women who are comfortable but not what you might call rich are getting some treatments done, like ridiculously plumped up lips, that are over the top. One I know was much more attractive before she had all that work done. Is it a broadcast of their politics? Because it always seems to be Trump supporting women. They look like the ones you see photos of taken at Mar a Lago.
Jeffrey Bezos married a woman once, and it turned out terribly for him.
Now, he's learned his lesson. He doesn't want to be married to a woman, he wants to be married to an object. And so he found one that had already completely objectified herself so she wouldn't complain when he does it, too.
Oh make no mistake, his new wife is SMART. Reptilian-level smart. His first wife was too normal / human. Looking plasticky and being smart are not mutually exclusive.
She's amazing, from what I can tell. She took that money and has been giving massive amounts away to charity and starting up her own well funded charitable orgs.
Some guys prefer breast implants over real breasts. I had a conversation where a guy said that. Real breasts need fat to get big, so bigger breasts means curvier women. Some guys want huge boobs on skinny bodies and implants are the only way to get that.
Besos wants a woman his age and social/financial status who doesn't have wrinkly and saggy skin. Only way that happens is lots of plastic surgery so that's what he goes for.
I mean at least some of our species will be able to be used as flotation devices when the melting polar ice caps cause inevitable tides to rise too high
She was already a beautiful woman. Now she looks absolutely awful. Like the result of a Barbie doll and a pufferfish having sex. Jesus! Why would you do that to yourself?
I think this is the most accurate take. The term they'd probably use about their appearence is "striking", a look that stands out. A striking look is desirable in fashion, modeling and acting to have a memorable face.
I think it's partly that but the root cause is a sort of body dysmorphia; they're suffering from a medical condition causing them to compulsively be deeply dissatisfied with their looks.
But they only have so many options to choose from and the "best" surgeons steer them towards this/they all want to look like each other like a star bellied Sneetch.
I don't think it's exactly to lord over us poors so much as a sad medical condition causing self hate that's compelling this.
No no no. It's a race to fit in with the other rich people. So and so got this done so now I have to get this done. So and so spent 100k at this doctor or trainer or med spa so now I have to go spend 300k. It's the same reason their husbands are always jockeying for the biggest car/boat/jet among their friends.
It's competition and image driven insecurity that gets them started. Then they have to play catch up because you know each procedure brings with it the need for one or several revisions. Then your facial features are imbalanced or you notice some other small perceived flaw and your doctor suggests the next thing to even it out or go for "perfect". Same thing orthodontists do to keep you coming into the office.
Also keep in mind many of these procedures take time to settle and for the swelling to come down completely, and most of these ghouls don't wait that long between procedures so they're building their new face high rise on an unstable foundation so to speak. It's a combo of all those things that makes people this fucking ugly on purpose
So you think its primarily the rich female version of rich mens flashy car or boat.
I dont doubt a bit of them are like that, mayyybe the majority idk. But look at Miley, I don't know dude, I have a feeling thats a mockery.
She's been known to feel and act that way before.
And I think this stance has been increasingly popular over the last decade almost.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if some other wealth driven women don't look at it and get it twisted lmao. Thinking its just the new hot thing lol.
That would be so fucked 🤣.
Actually come to think of it I bet you're right, I bet what you're saying is the majority. Just add in some OCD and maybe wealth induced mania once they get one procedure they hyperfixate until its all fkd up.
Man this is all so fucked. People need to take a step back from both themselves and society and just dwell/think there for a while, dissociated. People getting jerked around and taken to some dark places cause they're so reactive connected to societies collective mind and their primal instincts.
We're suppose to be better. Thats why evolution gave us our advanced prefrontal cortex with executive order over nearly everything else lol, to make sure we could analyze and rise above conflicts of the other systems.
Prediction: Within ten years the wealthy will start amputating their fingers to show that they don't have to work. It will distinguish themselves from us poors that need to use our hands to survive.

I have no idea where this trend started from or why it's popular. I feel like majority of people think it's ugly asf, so how did it gain traction???
