We like to make memes about "stupid billionaire tourists dying" but that's not entirely accurate.

I am curious why he would get on such an unsafe vessel if he was so experienced.

Exactly! Thank you for this post. Condolences to Mr. Paul-Henri Nargeolet's family. He was the true explorer that some idiots with limited brain cells and poor education s*** on. It's a tragedy for deep sea exploration.

His body will ever remain a mere 1600 feet from the ship he loved.

Very rare level of attention to detail on a story with insane meme potential. The celebration of the these deaths because they involved a billionaire isn't edgy, it's tired and obtuse, and acknowledging that there was some value to the human lives aboard doesn't equate to rubber stamping the existence of billionaires. Paul-Henri seemed like a rad dude. This post was refreshing, thank you.

I think the 19 year old who was reportedly terrified to go but his dad insisted deserves some sympathy as well

And apparently, also a billionaire. https://www.distractify.com/p/paul-henri-nargeolet-net-worth

He's the richest out of all of them at $1.5 billion.

Let’s not forget that we shouldn’t feel bad when s***** people do s***** things and then suffer consequences. Their hubris led them to ride on an unsound sea vessel to a part of this planet that is unforgiving. They weren’t pioneers. People have been there and back safely. They were idiots and they paid for it….. twice.

Still a billionaire. Net worth 1.5B. Objectively still a bad person as a result. It’s not possible to earn a $billion, only to steal/exploit it.
