actually, there ARE idiot billionaires. surprisingly many. almost every single one. They might not have been idiots when they became super rich (or, of age), but the wealth really has a way of destroying a person's intellect in a swoop. you see it over and over again: people enjoying their wealth and adulation more than their cognitive abilities.

"There are no dumb billionaires."
So you might brush up a bit on how reality works. Start with googling "born with a golden spoon in their mouth" and go from there.

1:20 "There are no idiot billionaires" I love Colin, but I beg to differ (generational wealth has a lot to do with that). Money is not a measure of intelligence 💰 ≠ 🧠

He has barely aged, still has the boyish face today.

Trump is one of those billionaires who wasn’t ever a billionaire at all until his latest grifts. He inherited nearly half a billion, and as far as I know, it doesn’t really demand a high intellect to achieve that. Trump is a village idiot, that isnt up for debate, and I bet there is someone on this show who is eating those words.

Some of Jost’s jokes here aged like milk.
No such thing as a stupid billionaire. Trump and Elon have been doing their level best to refute that
