Karl Cook Wins for California In Inaugural World Cup Class (Video.)

As brought up earlier in the thread McLain was a teenager when this happened. The chips in boots and sensitivity is one thing, but it’s wild you think we should hate him because of what his father did.

By that logic the hate Karl gets is completely valid. Daddy has a net worth of over $6.8 billion. No such thing as an ethical billionaire and his company Intuit has done some shady things that have negatively impacted the lives of thousands if not millions. The FTC doesn’t investigate you for stuffing some money into your mattress and let’s not get started on their lobbying activities.

I don’t know where you are getting that $400 billion net worth figure. According to Forbes, Scott Cook’s net worth is $6.8 billion. Still a staggering amount of money but a very far cry from $400 billion.

For context, Elon Musk’s net worth is just north of $400 billion, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos about half that. Jackie Mars is worth about $40 billion. The Cook family is fabulously wealthy, but not anywhere near those levels of absurd wealth accumulation.

You’re right, my bad. I misread some numbers in an article. I’ll fix it.

Regardless the point stands.

Yes, I misread some numbers. I went back and fixed it.

When money starts with a B, it is hard to think it is not absurd wealth accumulation.

A million seconds is 12 days
A billion seconds is 31 years.

I am going to ask this here since the subject of this thread was popular talking point elsewhere

Are the DIVAS gone for good?

I don’t understand the question. :slightly_smiling_face:

I think so. At least it seems that way.

Haha – I had also decided to wander over there too to see what their thoughts would be on the matter. Collectively they never seemed to be particularly fond of Karl.

Sorry to be out of the loop. Are the people who have been overly critical and shown an odd animosity toward Cook’s riding on COTH also posting the “Diva” website as well?
