The point is that she spent $50k because she spent too much time not focusing on starting a family and instead was doing something else which was probably a self-centered lifestyle. She would have nothing to say to the man who bought the car.


sort by: page size:

Maybe she does not trust him much with the money. In which case she would pay for the car and let him drive it.

Well, in the article it does state she ended up showing him the financials and they genuinely couldn't afford anything over that extra $2k.

Of course she can afford it, that isn't the point.

> she could have spent about $7 million more on enjoying herself in life

Well no, because it got to that level through compounding.


> She is believed to have driven a Porsche Macan SUV from Virginia to Palo Alto and showed up at Cook’s home

How does a crazy lady like her get the money to buy a $50,000 car?


It's arguably a better ride for her and her kids than $3500 for car + insurance + maintenance + gas could buy her.

She could have given as much meaning to her life as she wanted without racking up > 100K in debt. All this does is encourage people to not take responsibility of their own voluntary actions. (And no I am not referring to the children).

At age 36, with no kids and no marriage, she had to obliterate her savings to fund 50k? I feel like some part of her "big life plan" went south.

It's rather troubling she mentions having insurance cover this procedure...


I think what they are saying is that she is independently wealthy - as such they didn't check into her husband in the same way they would have if she depended on him for money.

With her husband's massive financial problems, there's no way $1 million would have made this worth it for her.

She could barely pay for gas though... that's not enough money.

The point is that she spent some money to help cope with grief. If she had a median net worth she would have bought a bottle of high end scotch, and no one would have so much as blinked. She spent the same relative amount on cloning her dog, and it was likely much more effective than the bottle of scotch would have been.

TLDR, spent all the money not caring where it came from now that she knows she still doesn't care about anyone but herself. She has three houses with scammed money no interest in selling them and returning the money.

She has inherited wealth. Money means nothing and she took no effort to be cost-effective. The roof work was reasonably priced, but the rest was vanity-priced.

She has enough money to make her happy and don't give a fuck. You get real. Get a life for christ sake. Asshole.

Incidentally, her husband was in the hole to the tune of $16 million, which I imagine had nothing to do with how much money she was seeking.

I don't know what the point of this comment is. She was rich or made poor life choices?

an unreasonable amount of wealth given she didn't create it in the first place.

You're making a lot of really, really vile and baseless accusations in your post.

A great personal relationship can help somebody soar to higher professional heights, and a lousy one can do the opposite. Given that you're not Elon or the wife, you're in no position to comment on the value of her efforts, conversations and actions. You really don't know what she brought to the table.

Just because she didn't have a CxO title doesn't mean she didn't help create value.

simply for marrying well.

A wife is not just a decoration. A great wife can help you be a better person in a multitude of ways, and can help breed success. The idea that the only thing she did was marry him... it's vile and repulsive.

You have no idea what you're on about.

I hope you find somebody who helps you breed success someday. It's clear that as it stands, you've never had a truly worthwhile personal relationship.


Based on the way he described her spending habits for her children and household, that doesn't seem particularly plausible to me.
