Our Rich People Suck At Spending Money | Defector
"I have to start with Bill Belichick. I promise I won't linger on that washed-up piece of driftwood for very long, but he serves as a useful, if minor, example. Here is Bill Belichick's official website. It's a terrible website. The design is so old that I half expected a pop-up alert telling me that I needed to download Flash. And the copy is so weak (example: "In 2000, Belichick led the Patriots to 20 winning seasons") that Belichick's weird-ass girlfriend probably wrote it herself."
"Because spending money well takes just as much thought and care as earning it. And you, the ultra-rich people of 2025: you have put NO thought into how you spend your dough. None. Zero. And I'm not even factoring in all of the Nazi shit you guys like to splurge on, The Free Press included. I'm talking about shit as basic as a landing page, a home, or a pickup truck."
Bill Belichick's official website is outdated, poorly designed, and filled with weak copy. A very wealthy individual chose a cheap, half-assed landing page despite being able to afford a capable web designer. Spending money well requires thought and care equal to earning it. Many ultra-rich people in 2025 spend large sums without reflection, favoring cheap, flimsy products or tacky status symbols. Basic purchases like landing pages, homes, and pickup trucks are often executed poorly by the wealthy. The outcome is a cultural decline in taste and meaningful luxury.
