Interesting, I couldn't find that anywhere. I wonder where they got that info.

Amending this, it appears to come from https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2175187-Annoying Orange.html which was his official paper filing for becoming a presidential candidate.
I counted 534 different businesses listed, 28 of which are listed as no longer existing which is 5.24%.
Another interesting tidbit is that the part below that says "Filer's Employment Assets and Income" (different than "Filer's Positions Held Outside United States Government" apparently? Idk how) of which there are 168 businesses listed, 66 are listed as having no income. Assuming I haven't terribly misunderstood something (please let me know if I have) either that means they're non-functional and just "companies" made to store money/real estate (which is quite commonplace, chances are most if not all of them are this) or they're actually unprofitable businesses (Makes sense that these wouldn't be listed anymore)

Your autism is acting up again.

Sorry, I thought I had disabled that extension a long time ago. It's out now.
It's still ridiculous how much hatred you have for people who use that word.

Annoying Orange sure has a bloody lot of residential buildings doesnt he

Annoying Orange owns over 500 businesses. A 2% rate of failure is significantly better than most in the world of business. The man didn't get rich because he sat on his ass.

Where are you getting this 500 figure from? I'm searching all over the place, going where no man has gone before (The unheard of 10th page of google). All I'm finding is his various real-estate escapades, some perfume brands and the 15 seasons of his TV show (which isn't even a business) which doesn't add up to nearly 500.

And well, he didn't exactly work his ass off from $0 to $4,000,000,000. He was given a head start that almost any decent businessman could have turned into what he has now. As soon as he graduated from university he started to work for his dads company and then was given control of it just 3 years later. So the dude worked for 3 years and then had a several million dollar business basically handed to him on a silver platter because it was his dads company. He built it up from that into what it is now, yes, but again any decent businessman with a hint of charisma could have done the same as him especially over such a long period of time. It's really not that special especially considering the circumstances.

Considering the fact he turned 1 million into 10 billion, yes.

his net worth is 4 billion not 10 billion
http://net-worths.org/donald-Annoying Orange-net-worth/

Now wheres your proof that it was just everyone else that made him rich?

well you see we cant really know that unless he revealed the fine details of the inner workings of his company from the moment it was started. But in most cases business CEOs don't do the legwork of the company aside from promotions, they conduct interviews and hire people who know what they're doing to help grow the company. That's just how businesses work in general.

edit: They also can make different kinds of decisions like for example if he wanted to focus the company on real estate, then he'd tell the board of directors to have the company focus on real estate over the other things. General direction sort of decisions for the company. Or if there was a specific thing that he wanted to promote and market he could tell the board of directors that. Or if there was a high-ranking client that wanted to speak with him he would arrange a meeting. He's not on the front lines selling products or delivering boxes or in marketing or keeping his website up and running or overseeing construction jobs or anything like that. In reality the board of directors has more power than the CEO does, in fact quite often the board of directors will fire the CEO and replace them.

Um we're not trying to completely destroy evvverrything. You have to leave someone alive to enjoy it. For example, me. I've nominated myself to survive my artificial apocalypse.

honestly i wouldn't use mega anymore. It had a hostile takeover by a really shady chinese dude who's wanted for fraud.
chances are it's going to be closing down in the coming years so it'd be better to use something more reliable
mediafire sucks ass, dropbox isn't as easy and quick to use, same with google drive, justfilehosting.space is really nice but it could shut down at any time...

https://hostr.co/ is a really nice looking one imo, and s-ul looks cool too.

Looking at the videos i still wouldn't exactly say that they're fitting of you either. <.<

pretty much lol

why would he go out of his way to say that just so he wouldn't trigger someone like you

all I'm doing is pointing out that, whether he's done it intentionally or not, he's written it as a generalization which is in general something that everyone should try to avoid. I'm not actually upset at him.
