Super-Rich Individuals Continue To Enjoy Parties In Spite Of COVID-19, The Poor Person’s Virus

 Another source reveals that one billionaire has organized luxurious parties in which guests have to get tested for the COVID-19 infection within 15 minutes before joining the party.

While the United States is the nation to have the globally highest number of COVID-19 cases and about 1,000 deaths per day, some sources reveal that super-rich individuals in Silicon Valley have kept enjoying their luxury life as if nothing happens.

According to Vanity Fair, the life of the luxury of American billionaires has had no change compared to the period before the COVID-19 outbreak and a large number of US citizens have to maintain social distancing. A doctor said that the Coronavirus seems to be the poor person’s virus.

Not long before, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly surfed the wave on a $12,000 electric surfboard on a vacation with his family in Hawaii.

Meanwhile, Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick supposedly hosted outdoor parties at his $43M estate in Los Angeles. As someone said, super-rich individuals have continued to enjoy parties and go on their jets as if the COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t ever existed.

Another source reveals that one billionaire has organized luxurious parties in which guests have to get tested for the COVID-19 infection within 15 minutes before joining the party. Additionally, one investor in Los Angeles and Silicone Valley even rents villas at $50,000 per month on purpose to hold parties during the pandemic.

Billionaires who don’t like parties tend to hire or use their jets to go on a vacation or move to the safe regions to keep themselves from the epidemic. According to the renowned private jet company NetJets, the demand for private business jets has soared during the COVID-19 pandemic with a 195% increase in orders in June compared to that of last year. Some people even pay millions of USD to have international citizenship in foreign countries so that they can leave the United States immediately if necessary.

However, there are some incidents like tech billionaire Bill Gates. He said that he doesn’t go out frequently. Instead, he spends most of his time enjoying his life with his wife, Melinda, and three children including Jennifer, Rory, and Phoebe at his private house near Seattle.

Another issue that also draws lots of attention comes from the fact that billionaires’ net worth has kept increasing considerably while over 1.6 crore people have lost their jobs in the United States due to the pandemic.

As the world’s most wealthy billionaire, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has recently bought a $10M house in Beverly Hills near a $165M complex that he purchased 6 months ago.

The report from the mid-March to mid-May this year pointed out that the net worth of US billionaires has increased by $484B, in spite of the outbreak of the epidemic.

Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, and Larry Ellison have witnessed their assets to increase by the total amount of $75.5B. The major reason behind it is the explosion of the demand for products and services provided by companies owned by or run by these billionaires when millions of US citizens have to maintain social distancing.

Wealth of the Super-Rich has increased by $434 billion since the pandemic.

Until August 15, the United States still ranks No.1 with over 54 lakh SARS-CoV-2 cases and over 1.71 lakh deaths.
