OlderBillionaire David Geffen Goes Private on Instagram After Revealing He's Isolating On a Yacht
David Geffen, the billionaire businessman and philanthropist, has gone private on Instagram after being called tone-deaf for a post he put up while under isolation.
The 77-year-old businessman has self-isolated on his yacht in the Grenadines, which are islands in the Caribbean.
David posted a photo of his yacht with a beautiful sunset behind it and wrote, “Sunset last night… isolated in the Grenadines avoiding the virus. I’m hoping everybody is staying safe.”
People are criticizing David for showing off his wealth and privilege while millions of people are struggling with unemployment and healthcare workers are fighting for their lives while trying to save others as well.
Vis a vis David Geffen…
Here's a good rule: if you post a picture of your yacht during this time, you have to announce charitable contributions that equal or exceed the value of said yacht in the same post.
Also if Congress could vote remote they could pass this into law.

David Geffen could have donated that yacht to NYC to be used as a makeshift hospital.
