If I was a billionaire, I'd nuke all my social media profiles and hire someone to do all my public-facing comms. IMO, the only reason to be in the public eye as a wealthy person is if you're acting in the interest of the public good.

Someday me too
Today I visited the Takeshima Aquarium in Gamagori, which specializes in deep sea animals. I saw giant isopods, spider crabs, deep sea octopus and all kinds of fascinating #invertebrates.
