  • (…) Foley was once worth $1.9 billion, according to Bloomberg, but left the company with a net worth of $225 million.

    (…)

    The ex-Peloton chief was forced to downsize twice—including selling a $55 million East Hampton waterfront home and uprooting his family.

    Though Foley has lost much of his fortune, the ordeal has not extinguished his ambition. Within a year of resigning from the top job at Peloton, he had raised $25 million for his new venture, a direct-to-consumer rug company called Ernesta.

    You know, my heart is not exactly bleeding for the guy. Nobody should even have a $55 million residence in the first place, fucking hell. Also, being left with only $225 million is hardly losing all your money, is it?




  • …others praised the interviewers for their tough questioning.

    I actually think they more or less missed an open goal here, to be honest. Sure, the overall appearance was probably a net negative for Trump, but it could have been way worse. They got him off balance from the start, but afterwards failed to push back when he started walking all over them in his responses.

    It’s clear neither of the hosts could handle either holding him to his statements based on facts, or pushing back against his loudness and personal attacks. They let him control the narrative way too much with stuff like “millions and millions of illegal immigrants swarming in from insane asylums” going unchecked and loud “nasty woman” rants bulldozing over the hosts.
