I guess it's possible if your wealth does not come form a very public transaction like whatsapp. You can have a tiny percentage from some companies and still be a billionaire from the dividends alone. 0.1% from the biggest market cap companies would still net you hundreds of millions per year.

If you see ads on whatsapp you are most likely indian.
>WhatsApp has not been profitable for Facebook (now Meta) since its acquisition in 2014, despite its massive user base and significant growth. When Facebook acquired WhatsApp for approximately $19 billion, the messaging app was unprofitable, reporting a net loss of $138 million in 2013, largely due to stock-based compensation, though its operating loss was around $40 million. Five years after the acquisition, in 2019, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that WhatsApp remained unprofitable and could be cannibalizing time users spent on Facebook and Instagram, particularly in markets like India.

>While WhatsApp has not generated direct profits, Meta has begun monetizing the platform through initiatives like WhatsApp Business, Click-to-WhatsApp Ads, and WhatsApp Pay, particularly in markets such as India. However, these efforts have not yet translated into significant profitability, and the app continues to be a major investment for Meta rather than a direct revenue generator.

seems this nigga is in the news right now

https://nypost.com/2025/10/03/business/inside-the-legal-spat-between-billionaire-jan-koum-and-interior-designer-remi-tessier/

>apparently his long time interior designer has inflated the prices of items for years kek
In one example, Tessier allegedly told Koum he purchased “two dozen hand-knotted silk and pashmina carpets … from a high-end French carpet manufacturer” — and even provided Tessier with the invoice (which he stated was €642,032, roughly $75,000).

>According to the court filings, the rugs were from a completely different supplier and were made of synthetic fibers and were “hand-loomed” rather than “hand-knotted.” Experts cited on the suit concluded the actual value of the rugs was less than half what Tessier said they cost.

>The filing alleges that the design did this sort of thing with everything from steak knives to couches. This practice “allowed Tessier to pocket the difference while leaving Koum with products far below the standard he believed he was paying for.”

is this a billionaire counting pennies like e petty faggot or is he right to be outraged for being scammed?

The kind of people that make a successfull product are usually money chasers.
If you like making a good product you kinda get bored way before it gets big.
So whenever you see someone rich do... nothing particularly interseting, either investing or buying retarded "rich man" things, it's because it's not some curious minded engineer or artist. It's just some business fag.

I'd probably try to develop replacements for US soft power. Local hardware, software, services, payment processors, art, games, books, movies, comics, a paneuropean language, etc. All manually chose ofc, minimal delegation.
