The guy scaled a tree and evaded security to profess his love to a government officials daughter, lived under her bed for almost 2 months, learned four languages, married her, built an empire, reasoned his way through a gambling addiction and rebuilt his life.
He sounds quite extraordinary to me.
- colmvp 6y agoIn my teens and twenties, I would've been like "what a lovely gesture." Now that I'm in my thirties and we've gone through various social movements, I think "whoa, what a creeper." Specifically the whole jumping into her bedroom. And the whole stabbing himself if they broke them apart. Then I had gave a gut check: they were kids. In my teens my mind was definitely in that realm of ambitious gestures.
- watwut 6y agoThe stabbing thing however points to toxic relationship even if they are kids. Even as teenagers those are massive red flags.

I think the only notable thing that happened here is he built an empire, and as my comment pointed out it's much easier to build an empire when you're in an environment that allows you enough profit to buy a house with cash only two years after starting from nothing and taking virtually zero risk.
