You're a loving dipshit, dude. The guy owns companies worth nearly a million on their own, of course his total net worth is almost certainly in excess of a million, making him a millionaire. Only a fishmech-tier pedant would argue otherwise.

I guess there's the possibility that all these companies called "Kapoor Pharmacies" or "Kapoor Properties" are actually financed by dark money, and the "small business owner" is just a bag man.

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:debt no longer exists, huh? gently caress yeah! stupid student loans. Yes, it's somewhere within the realm of possibility that the owner of several successful companies is actually leveraged to the hilt and has a negative net worth outside of his companies. Congratulations. It's also extremely unlikely. Your comparison to Trump is helpful here: Trump himself wasn't "hocked to poo poo," it was his companies that borrowed enormous amounts of money, frequently by way of enormous mortgages. Generally, someone running a large limited liability business isn't going to take on personal debt to further their venture.

Bulgogi Hoagie posted:you got owned pretty hard there buddy by people whose argument is insisting he is wrong and owned without actual evidence like his net worth is over a million, net worth accounts for debt, and (not yet mentioned) having debt at that level of wealth isn't actually detrimental the way it is for a household; his income may not be 1 million/year, but he owns over a million dollars worth of productive assets, which is way better than having 1 million in the bank. so am i missing something that makes this line of argument anything other than shallow posturing?
