"Humility problem" - Lool mate he couldn't be more humble. he seemed a little drunk, but he's allowed to feel happy with his achievements.
Yep, I expected an arrogant, US teen with money type of boast, flashing money, etc. The guy seemed happy. Now I don't know his personal life and HFs always seem slimy but good for him. Just a little bragging but nothing too extreme
There’s nothing wrong with not being humble, if you’ve worked hard and smart for it, you deserve it
we are not in the 1980's anymore lmfao, I am going to go out on a limb here and assume u are from an English speaking country, who has never heard of the word "humility" also
I agree
@@JjAnteros can I ask what’s your definition of humility?
everyone in the comments: he's not bragging he's just proud of his achievements!
me: how tf is the taxi driver driving and filming this at the same time

“Why he wouldn’t be in a private car with his own driver i dont know.”
Maybe that’s because he doesn’t think he is above taking a taxi like anyone else in the world. Which is cool imo.
Yeap. Which makes him genuinely humble and destroys their whole narrative. This was such a non story
actually it has nothing to do with thinking you're "above" other people. If you are worth that much, its financially prudent to have your own private car and driver. For most people, waiting 5 minutes for a taxi is no big deal, but when you get to a certain level of wealth, your time becomes very valuable. Its the same reason that its not a wasteful luxury for CEOs to fly first class, its a money saving choice.
If he is in London and not coming from his place of work (or common destination) then where was his car going to park in between driving him? Seems like someone hasn't spent much time in London.
I had a neighbor where I used to live. He was a billionaire. Worth maybe $5 billion net. He lived in the same house since the late 50's or 60's. Normal neighborhood. He was in his 70's at the time and you'd see him walking in the neighborhood with his wife, holding hands together. He came from poverty, was well liked and lived quietly.
When he got older, he hired a driver to get him around in a Lincoln town car.
His children and grandchildren live like kings. They each have houses Aspen, NYC, Miami & other places. I was lucky to know him. He had so much wisdom and that's what he left me. I would've loved getting some cash too!!
He came from another country and had lived in the worst poverty.
Self made people li8ke Mr. D are generally good people. His kids looked down at me. I don't envy them.
I dont see any problem with that guy. People are often proud of their achievements, it's one of those human things.
Agreed, the video looked to me like a guy proudly explaining his life's work to someone who presumably asked. He could've been more humble and delicate, but even billionaires are as human as any of us.
true, plus f one of this two guys would have made 1.2 billions last year or the year before i suppose they would just do the same, however last time i checked Cramer didn't do too well as a hedge fund manager
@Ip zen ah, yes, because all hedge fund managers must be evil people looking to exploit and cause destruction in the world
@Ip zen you seem to be under the impression that hedge funds are generally short
@Ip zen that is nonsense, I doubt even 3% of the positions in most hedge funds are short.
They generally just buy stocks which allows companies to raise capital
“Humility problem” as he says “it’s an honor to be in this cab”
Do you always take people at their word?
Honour*
Without a shred of sarcasm but because British people don’t like sarcasm at all.

Just a slightly buzzed lad havong banter and he's being polite where's the problem?
The problem is he is rich. We need to destroy the rich by making the poor rich thereby destroying him and all others... But then the poor will need to be destroyed bc they're rich too. and then the rich will destroy the rich and every rich person will cease to exist which would mean everyone will cease to exist
@Chris Camez its uk smartboy, not america
Ur right and I bet he probably gave him a good tip too his net worth is 13 billion
@Chris Camez srry woke up hangover from last night and bad mood, didnt mean to be rude. ur right but i still think the news is a bigger problem inn US
@@awesamlol1 so on point we all destroy ourselves.
To get rich in life, you need to spend less and invest more. You don't expect to spend 90%, invest 10% and sit to make more wealth.
Bitcoin is the future, Investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise
For real it's very profitable
You don't really need someone to tell you how to invest your coins, you can make research on your own and also try doing it yourself first.
@Bobby Magallanes I will suggest you consult a licensedd profesional who will guide you through the rough markets.
I've got interest in investing but afraid of doing it on my own to avoid loss from my end😞
"It is an honor to be in your taxi cab.."
Sums it up to me...
he was respectful
@How Rich TV you're also quite a bad liar ;)
this guy is manifesting a law of attraction
They were obviously chatting, driver realizes he has a big wig in his car, whips out his phone and asks him what he does for a living for the content. Guy gives a straight answer instead of the standard vague “i’m in the financial services industry” trying to end the conversation as quickly as possible. I’m a successful entrepreneur and that’s what I always do even though I genuinely enjoy talking to people, answering questions, and giving advice. I’ve learned to always keep my guard up because being honest is often misconstrued as bragging.
So much this, dude. People get angry when you tell them you’re successful. I just keep it under wraps now. No one knows I have a little bit of success.
I woulve believed you if you didnt say it
so dumb, he was not bragging, simply telling what he does, rappers brag all day and got millions repeating there lyrics.
But it got people to click and probably at least one person ended up using somethings of there’s that makes them money at least partly do to this
You comparing grown ass men to rappers?
@@manlikemb6226 so rappers aren’t grown
@@manlikemb6226 nope you didnt understand my message.

He seemed excited, like when you're proud of yourself and want to tell someone. He seemed like a perfectly decent person.
Clearly been drinking... bet he regretted it in the morning
Nothing to see here, people. He wasn’t putting the cab driver down or making him feel inferior. He’s accomplished great things and entitled to be happy with his accomplishments.
And boast about it to random ppl. Sounds like he need validation more than being self-proud of himself
@@TeddytheSmartCockapoo he obviously had a few drinks.
See comment above /\
@@TeddytheSmartCockapoo the taxi driver probably asked him
Agreed, nothing wrong with talking about your financial achievements. I think most people are jealous of rich people, and as media continues to demonises the “richest 1%” and government using it as leverage to increase tax. I think it’s better to learn from the rich, I.e, how to manage money properly, how to run a business, how to create value for society, etc.
It's strange how people talk about all the profits, they've been making through trading of bitcoin, while am here not making any profit at all. Please can Someone put me through on the right path.
Most time having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be a pleasing exercise. I can boldly say that forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status.
That's true most people today have been having a lot of failures in forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and bad experts
I have been seeing so many recommendations about olivia tracy on Instagram and telegram trending I think she must be good for people to talk about her
Investing with her made me some interesting amount
I saw the recommendation but I didn't bother chatting her up I keep loosing teally i still don't understand how the forex market works tho
What's the problem? He just explained the reality of his existence? You guys are just hating.
I absolutely agree and he is proud of it. I think it's pretty cool.
Yeah this is like a signer saying I sing for a living my song just went #1. What's wrong with that? Ppl so insecure nowadays.
He is a parasite who destroyed jobs.
l recommended a professional broker to you guys sometime ago, can I get person who invested with her
comment below
let's gooooo
hey wes,
l did invested with her i made huge profits
thanks for recommending her
who made profits for you, am really looking for a pro who can manage my account and make me huge profits
I saw that recommendations but I did not bother chatting her up 🤦🤦🤦
who is this professional broker and how would I be able to get in contact with her
she is Mrs Jane one of the best and trustworthy broker on earth
He sounds just proud of his achievement... why are u guys even hating about it ? :D
They hate him cus they aint him
Because RiCh PeOpLe aRE bAd.
Sometimes when something is said then reported in a different context, it sounds bad..... In his shoes I wouldn't be able to shut up too.
Bc hedgfund managers ruin peoples lives and make them bankrupt.
@Chris Munoz that was the most shallow response you could have and proves you have no idea what you speak about , everyone invest money? You didn't even say what in . If you know what they did you would understand my original statement.
Two brand new Cadillac Escalades = $152,390
Two Drivers on $50k a year salaries = $100k
Four security guards on $50k a year salaries = $200k
It only takes $452,390 to look like a billionaire but it takes a billion dollars to actually be one.
REMEMBER THAT!
Y’all pressed about someone successful... let the man be happy about what he’s worked to achieve.
@MrGeorge1226 everyone on TV is a 🐍 and they will continue to be on TV. Sadly...
No one is pressing him. Have you even read the comments fish dude ?
Gusy crying about Cramer always crack me up. Betting on his calls buyin high selling at a loss. Idiots dont know how to play Cramer basic you need to just hang it up.
Lol yes worked hard by manipulating those markets
Check the news, lemming. This Man is the enemy.
Think! Everything that anyone has to say about "companies don't care" "stepping on the little guy"applies here.
He bets... on businesses FAILING!!
He profits on businesses FAILING! Do you get it. This is the reason for the GME stock war. I promise you, there is ZERO need to defend this many, because he won't defend you.
a “humility” problem... sounds like the cab driver enticed the conversation, being the single best out of 7 billion people is something to brag about.
He seems honest and amiable. He definitely has a good sense of humour I can say from his smile.
Actually he seems to be humble, he is just happy about his success.
EDIT: Actually, he had to pay fine because of this video...! Pure jealousy, obviously there was a conversation before recording this video, so it's out of context. Shame on news...
The only people who showed hubris, arrogance, jealousy, and a generally distasteful attitude in this clip are David Faber and Jim Cramer. Particularly when Faber asks why he’d be in a cab vs having his own private driver, if he’s so rich. What a joke CNBC continues to become!
I'm pretty sure this is a Tik Tok his kids made him do where people introduce themselves as the highest paying person in the world for something then make a ridiculous comical claim as a meme.

I feel like the anchors criticism toward that man is coming out of pure jealousy.
And you’re right, I watch CNBC every day and that’s the vibe i get from him too.
@@butchalini725 I would stop watching. Harvard did a thorough study on it and CNBC actually makes you dumber.

Agreed that man is my hero. 🙏🙏🙏
Imagine the same hedge fund guy, in the same cab, with the same attitude, bragging about making $100,000.
There would be no issue then. Therefore it’s a jealousy issue. The news anchors made themselves look bad for judging with jealousy.
It’s envy not jealousy.
he even complimented the cabdriver, there was no uggly bragging going on, he was just proud about what he accomplished and was happy to share it to someobe who was obviously willing to listen
100%
Yeah I was so disappointed
recommend strikes again boys
This has a very inflammatory title and headlines. He’s not even being boastful.
And...? Rich people aren't allowed to mildly brag on occasion? What about rap videos? That's all they do but far more brash then this laid back, mild mannered apparent billionaire. He should apologize for nothing.
Facts, yet we bop our head to the beats and get drunk to it. I think its just good marketing from left-leaning politicians that this jealousy and hate continues.

Is answering a question honestly rather than lie.
Seems truly happy about what he’s speaking about rather than talking himself up.
This is the stuff that makes people want to invest in his fund. Confidence
I love that all the comments are defending this guy. One of my main goals in life is to be financially successful and if I ever get there I will be proud of myself and tell/brag about how I got there. Absolutely nothing wrong with what this guy did and anyone who has negative things to say are just jealous.
"He makes more money than me and that makes me mad!" - the hosts.

@@ph_hacker_d You can listen to someone with an open mind without worshipping them. I'd say, its because people want to see you succeed but not more than them.

This guy seemed very humble, he was nice to his cab driver and he was clearly very happy and full of energy about his funds success. People should be allowed to celebrate their achievements.
Nothing to see here. Everyone has the right to be proud of their achievements. Good for him
When did it become a crime to succeed in America? Society needs to toughen up.
tf is it possible that this guys who are "financial journalists" seem to barely know Michael Platt ?
This guy has earned close to 6 billion dollars in 2017 and 2018 and triple his net worth after closing his hedge fund.How many hedge fund managers has earn that much in such a short time frame,even well-known managers like Ray Dalio or Jim Simon barely earn 2-3 billion dollar in their best performing year. This “Financial Journalist” are suppose to know about him.
nasim khan exactly my point, They are full of sh**
Boys you didn’t get the memo, no one wants smart people up there anymore, stupidity sells in our world today
Well you see here in the U.S. anything outside the border doesn't exist.
Should he have lied about what he does?
Saying he has a humility problem then going on to question why he is in a regular cab? Make your mind up please
While saying it was an honor to be in the cab lol
These reporters are clearly idiotic. The second reporter can barely form intelligible sentences.
There's absolutely no need for him to apologize. CNBC should apologize to this man, and stop pretending they're looking out for the little guy.
definitely blowing this out of proportion. I was expecting him to literally make statements like "I could buy this taxi and you." Could he have been more humble sure, but it seemed to me that he was proud of his success.
Rich people can’t brag, poor people can whine. Got it.
My main problem here is that as a fellow RISK manager, he didn't have his seat belt on.
You can't have your "seatbelt" on at all times. He's human, and a little tipsy, give him a break
No one wears a seat belt in a black cab
“Everything reflects poorly on Mark Zuckerberg. Everything.” - Cramer in weird Yoda voice
I was looking for this comment!
Leave the man alone 😪 he was respectful and just proud of his accomplishments. Keep hating success until it become a sin? I guess that was people want.
The fact he is that rich & still takes a taxi speaks for its self. Can't believe they are sayings that because he is rich he shouldn't give the little guy business or should have a "private chauffeur"... Disgusting
Think he came off quite well to be honest
lol, Heritage Foundation still paying people to act like bootlickers and come here to say "I don't think Hedgefund Manager said anything wrong"
It does seem ridiculous how many of the same comments come up again and again, just slightly varied wording.
Come on, there's nothing wrong with that, so what do you expect? These clowns journalist are jealous because they don't have what he's got
Did CNBC just try to slate a guy for saying he’s number 1 in finance, then advertise at the end that CNBC are “first” in business worldwide?
I’m confused...
He’s billionaire - one of UK’s wealthiest hedge fund manager.
Nothing wrong with this
💪😌
1 guy says no humility , the other says what's he doing in a cab. CRAZY REPORTERS.
i don’t see that as bragging he just answered a question the taxi cabbie asked
There was nothing wrong with what he said? I expected him to say “you’re so poor” “you’ll never live the life I have” etc etc but he didn’t say anything wrong. Everyone’s got a problem nowadays
he worked hard for his money and he is very proud of himself. nothing wrong here
@Baka Matai yeah, and they are willing to incur a theoretical amount of debt too, are you willing to go billions in debt?

Am I missing something? I was expecting someone saying something like "I make what you make all year in a single day".

Technically, this dude makes in 1 year what a NYC taxi driver makes in 46511 years.
The average Taxi driver salary in New York is $43,000

No problem with what he said. Probably just wants to have a conversation. If you just say "I am in Finance." The conversation is probably over.
This dude just said, "thanks for letting me ride in your cab" and "im the best at what i do" soooo whats the problem here?
something something hate the rich lol
The dislikes are for CNBC, not the billionaire.
Actually he was being humble. His net worth is $13bill. I would just ask, “oh yea?? Can I have $10k sir!”

Sounds like he’s proud of his achievement and he was humble to be in the drivers cab. He was pure class.. sorry
All I see is a smart guy who's great at his job. And who's happy about it. And some incredibly entitled and jealous television hosts :)
You know what could be a good campaign ad? Playing a video of someone talking about how they use the media to manupilate stock prices. “What’s important when you are in that hedge fund mode is to not do anything remotely truthful because the truth is so against your view, that it’s important to create a new truth, to develop a fiction.” Something like that.
It was done with class, he didn’t rub the cab driver’s nose in *how much he makes* he just said that he is the highest earner in finance...
Proud of him & everything he accomplished! That’s huge!
How some wealthy white British guy in the back of an Uber would transform Warren’s campaign message trajectory is still a mystery? Buttigieg used a black couple from Kenya and had to apologize later. Let’s see how this would work.
M.S. most people get salty of the rich, that’s a universal sentiment
He looks really proud of his achievements and really wholesome
Who cares?

They are mad because Forbes didn't write about them.
1:48 why do I hear yoda talking?
Lol
I don't like how the news nowadays takes things out of context in a bid to get more clicks. The guy, in my opinion, is polite, respectful to the driver and he's proud of his well-deserved accomplishments
😂😂 these guys just hating cause they ain't got hedge fund type of money.the sounded like two very broke people jealous about another mans success.
Of course he'll set up a scene of himself in a public taxi cab!
It's a set up so he appears as a regular guy.
THINK!
This dude just had a nice little buzz on and answered the guys questions....yea was it a little braggy sure.......but cmon I’m sure he gave the cabby a nice tip
I’m a Bernie supporter but criticism of this is just stupid. Rappers brag in just about every lyric about how much money they have or how many women they’ve been with.
Try a minute on Floyd Mayweather’s ig sheeesh
Hey there's nothing wrong with working your butt off and talking about your accomplishments. The taxi driver probably asked him what he does for a living and he was nice enough to respond openly.
This man sounds like yoda
Why has this video made the rounds. 🤷🏻♂️ The guy is proud of his achievements and he seems like a generally nice guy. He was asked a question and he answered it honestly.
He was asked a question and proud of his accomplishment, he’s in a taxi I would say he has humility
ya these are the guys you usually never see cause they take private cars, planes, and have others do their shopping and errands for them.
People are just jelous
Yet, this is not humility, W THOR:
🥇 An objective measure of Platt’s net-worth does not support his claim of being the #1 hedge fund manager. (Of course, there are other, and also more subjective ways of claiming to be the #1 hedge fund manager.)
⚠️ In 2020, the year the taxicab video went viral, Michael Platt’s hedge fund had bigger problems than mere boasting: "BlueCrest agreed to pay $170 million to former clients to settle a U.S. regulator’s allegations that it effectively placed its own profits ahead of its customers." - as per Bloomberg article.
What’s the narrative they’re trying to push here? Propagandists.
"Humility problem" says the guy who used to lie about the market so that his hedge fund could make money
Integrity and honesty are more important than humility.
