“The largest shareholder in L’Oreal heiress Françoise Bettencourt Meyers had been the top girl for a while. After her father’s death Eustacia’s fortune jumped making her crack into the $100 billion club.
Didn’t they think she had anything better to do with her time? Eustacia bristled with annoyance.
No, she would not, (a) being rich was like being beautiful or smart if you have to tell someone you are you're probably not, (b) someone will always ask you for money.”
― The Billionairess

“We are not myth.
We are the math and the original path.
They speak of Egypt, forget our kings.
They show you Giza, hide Meroë’s crown.
Where two hundred pyramids
still look down.”
― Dreamer In Chains: Poems of Exile and Resilience
