That's not a investment that is stupidity ,vanity and being a selfish asshole ...
If i see this guy on the street with that mask ,if i get the chance i will rob him and give the money to covid vaccine research or to the poor affected by covid ...
If he gets killed ...not one tear from me or remorse ...
We can't directly tell that these rich people are selfish. Unknowingly they might have a charity and donation programs. Besides, it's their own money, their own wealth.
We can't call them stupid either for purchasing luxuries, simply because they can afford it, they've worked hard for it. Therefore we don't have the right to demand for what he wants to do with his private life. Aren't we too harsh on them for calling them names while we're staying at the average or middle class style of living?
If ever you think these rich people did nothing to help the poor, think of it the business they built and the number of employees they have and the amount of tax they have paid to helped a certain city/community progressive.
Also, research labs have enough funds and financial support from the government. Thus, the donation will not be directed to the research company instead it would land to the governments hand most of the time. And you know what happens with extra funds that will be acquired by the government? That's how corruption began.
They say, money can't buy happiness. Now, this right here is a luxury many couldn't afford and It makes these billionaires happy.
Feeling jealous or envy would be natural for human being thats why people do call it stupid or whatever they do call to those people who do unusual stuff or shall we say isnt really that practical but to think that its their own money to spend not ours this is why we dont have any rights on how they should spend up their money even it isnt already right but its none of our business.They are financially capable of so just let them on what
are the things they would gonna do, we can make comments and insights which is normal but we dont have the right to call them stupid or what.
Money cant really buy happiness but we do know on whats the difference if we do have this thing where everything can be purchased up according to your likes.If having this expensive mask will really make you happy then no one can stop you.When it comes to tax which op is complaining about then they are pretty aware with that.They cant just show-off in public if they are trying to hide
on what are the things that they do plan to be built.
Lastly, that mask is really expensive but it is just really meant for impressing the public but i doubt that it do still work as a regular face mask to serve its purpose.
