Imagine being worth 11 Billion (that we know of) and only being 212th on the billionaires list.
Huh I never knew anything about him except he supported stuff to make society worse and was a billionaire, yeah I repeat myself. I thought he'd be older like a Koch for some reason.
I say it every time, I am astounded the Tolkien estate allowed the use of the word Palantir...
If the Tolkien estate has a trademark on that word it doesn’t stop a company in an entirely different field to name their company that word. Owning a trademark doesn’t mean you own all the usage rights of that word. You only have the rights in a specific category.
What makes you think they did?
Id probably be drunk too
