  people spend this much if not much more on cars, boats, motorcycles, comic books, sports cards, and on wine collections. it's temporary entertainment.

  Probably a crypto bro who had a couple btc to spare. Money is not blood, sweat and tears for these folks like it is for the rest of us.

  Really unbelievable, where people are investing this much real money which we all get from sweat, blood, sacrifice, from skillset via education.. All these money in a virtual game, just a game to attain 1st rank....
  
  So shocking man... Even though he ranked 1st and got a 7* maxed out, ascended hercules as a gift, what's that going to help him in real life??
  
  Not sure why this generation going in this way of whaling.. Because the REAL MONEY he spent (maybe some 185000$ - roughly 1.75 crores in Indian money) - I would have purchased a 3BHK - 1700sq.ft home and happily live forever and keep that as forever for my next generations.... Really sad to see people using real money for games!

  I think people should be allowed to spend their money the way they want, what you may find “sad” such as spending money on a game, is fun for someone else and vice versa.

  Seriously, so what if people spend money on a mobile game? Literally everything that you throw your money on that you enjoy whether physical or not are all temporary enjoyment because we'll all die someday, so why judge? Your manga or comic collection is not superior to someone who spent to r3 every single one of their champs in mcoc lol
  
  I am talking as someone who is f2p in this game.

  Everyone has their own finacial/economic realities they must abide by. Mine is that my own 1700 sf 3br residence is currently valued at $1.85 million because I live in NYC, and that $185k number won't even cover the first two years of my son's undergrad, which I'll have to pay in cash since there's no financial aid for kids with loaded parents.
  Which is to say, some folks don't have to worry about paying for stuff they don't want to, and spend it on stuff they like, cause they can.

  Each to their own. People have the right to spent on what they enjoy in life. If buying a property is your thing, then go for it, but it might not be another person's cup of tea.

  Just say you're jealous, dude.
  It's his money to do what he wants with.
  Cry about it.

  That's okie, it's their money. Kabam would have got hikes, promotions, bonuses with all that money, maybe some of SuperBroz luxury properties too.
  
  This keeps game running, they won't have to care about any feedbacks and do streams live, enjoy vactions on remote islands peacefully with all that money. I would do same if SuperBroz donates me some money.

  Year after year how are people still so oblivious about how much money some people generate/earn 🤦‍♂️.
  
  Latest Forbes figure states there are 2,781 billionaires in the world, then there's 2.8 million people with net worths of at least $50 million.
  
  These people already have everything they want, spending $100k on a game or dropping it on a singe coup of Baccarat means nothing for some people.
  
  Get over it, you and them are not the same.

  I mean money he spend is still going to people like employee or ceo etc. But i understand what you saying but that's our society there are people who cannot able to afford food and there are people who don't have to think to buy anything virtual or physical.

  I don't see any difference between spending it on a game they enjoy on a daily bases or staying in a luxury suite in some vacation location for 5k a night for 20 days...

  Additionally whales are endangered species, they increasing in number is good for environment. 2024 was definitely a good increase, verified with a graph. #saveoceans #savewhales

  Did he really get a 7* Herc? I might have to sacrifice my kids' college fund if so.

  SuperBroz probably does both, spending on a game while staying in a luxury suite. ThugLyf.

  I'm happy they did that. Just means my favourite mobile game gets to go on for a while longer, and I get to enjoy it free

  Kabam is actually a registered charity and Kabam staff are full time volunteers working to maintain a mobile game so players like you can grind free units 7 days a week
  Nobody needs to get paid, all the money goes to Xavier School for the Gifted Children
