It's hard to find an article that covers all the juicy details so having a look through the top posts for #FyreFestival is a good way to find tweets of recent developments that other ""journalists"" will use as their sources for new pieces.
I'm having a hard time understanding the whole "rich" aspect of this. Sure there were some folks that dropped a lot of cash there, but the normal tickets were only 1200$. That's expensive, sure, but any irresponsible jackoff with a credit card could buy that.
This is the one group that's even easier to despise than the actually rich - the wannabe rich. Young people who want to live the high life and feel like they've arrived without actually having the accomplishments and cash to make it happen. They often have some money and decent jobs, but spend all their earnings chasing an aspirational lifestyle and trendy bullshit.
Yeah, I view these people more as yuppies-in-training rather than the children of old money. The latter could probably just take a private flight or a (secure) helicopter ride out of there.
The truly rich can just throw a private party, invite some insta models, and book a couple of decently famous acts - without even bothering to rub elbows with the rabble.
The problem is vanity, immodesty, and complete narcissism. Plus, as already said, most of them are wanna-be rich kids. Well off but not actually rich kids who are delusional about their wealth and blow their parents money on dumb shit before the dad actually tells them to knock it off, and then they whine for a few weeks, go full force on fake accessories and events on social media, take a few "get rich quick" schemes until they turn 28 and realize they're living with other retards in a cramped Manhattan apartment and writing for a useless magazine like Elite Daily.
In case you guys are wondering how something this retarded can happen...
On Wednesday, Ja Rule arrived for a “site visit.” I don’t know if he actually visited the “site” but he did spend a lot of time on a yacht, according to his Instagram. Meanwhile the event planners were holed up indoors putting together a game plan and a budget. With so little having been prepared ahead of time, the official verdict was that it would take $50 million to pull off. Planners also warned that it would be not be up to the standard they had advertised. The best idea, they said, would be to roll everyone’s tickets over to 2018 and start planning for the next year immediately. They had a meeting with the Fyre execs to deliver the news. A guy from the marketing team said, “Let’s just do it and be legends, man.”
I don't think this is the kind of "rich" we want to punish, at best, most were maybe upper-middle class. No one paid $400k for that...but if they did I hope they were the last to leave..

Your condescending, contradictory bullshit isn't attractive to anyone except your frothing, basement-dwelling, virgin army.

Think a bit about who that is being marketed to - it's not the people for whom shit like that is already their life.

I would guess that 99% of rich people under the age of 25 get their money from their parents and not their own work.
Not exactly the best group of people to respect because they have money.

He was the main partner - the street cried part anyway.

Frankly, anyone who was retarded enough to fall for this deserves to get ripped off
n/a Mabans 2017-04-29
Yeah, a music festival. Not like that isn't a thing. People got baited hard and were going to feel "special", now they all do.

That's exactly how Woodstock was done. Why the complaints? This is history, talking alligator.

They should have just called it "A Taste of Syria" and it all would have been ok.
