He deserves a goddamned posthumous award. There will never a death more ‘billionaire’ than this. I mean this is cartoon level, over the top, absurdist level perfection.

I mean tell me, if you just saw the headline “Man dies after swallowing a bee at a Polo match” that your reaction is anything but “I wonder which billionaire that was.”

It gets even more comic-book villainous- he asked his mother to slap his then wife because she didn’t fit into a dress, while she was pregnant! What a good guy for not hitting a woman though, that’s totally the spirit of that advice.

According to Forbes, there are 3028 billionaires in the world as of April 1, 2025. A typical bee hive can have an average of 20,000 to 80,000 bees. I’m just saying that it only will take less than 4% of 1 hive to solve the world’s problems.

One less, is always a good thing in my book. The family BTW, is in a big feud over the inheritance, so maybe they will eat themselves, or we could always send in more bees. 🐝
