Ok, the guy wears a $1.5 billion mask, but will it really help him?

In the video it was mentioned that it weight more than half a pound. While other fabric masks weight less than 0.05 pound (box of 10pcs gross weight is 0.5lbp). Will he be able to wear that for few hours daily? I doubt.

It's 1.5 million not billion.

Half a pound is not that much, we were using 3m half masks with ammonia filters when we were cleaning the septic tanks at our farm and those things weigh 200 grams, pretty close to this, and we were doing hard work not speaking in a meeting. To go even further, gas masks used in the army are well over a pound, some even a pound and half and again you can run and jump and keep it on your head for hours without that much trouble.

I detect jealousy, which is an ugly thing.  I find it to be a bit ostentatious to be buying and wearing a mask like that, but this kind of thing was bound to get made eventually.  They make jewel-encrusted cell phone cases, fountain pens, and watches that the super-rich buy, and if you've got the money to blow on stuff like that, why not?  At least when you're paying the enormous sum of money for a trinket like this face mask you're pumping money into the economy, and that's not a bad thing.

Jealousy is such a bit of understatement, is pure hate, forget the golden mask, OP is wearing the rings of Sauron,he's on a full rampage, doom is coming, the economy is crashing, the riched would be impaled, but lately, it's becoming really boring.

So a guy order a 1.5 million mask, he has the money to do so, those are his money if he earns them legally he can burn them or spend them on booze or on gold necklaces for his ducks, it's his damn business. I wonder why people on this forum are getting excited and curious every time about what others do, while they all advocate for privacy at the same time love gossip so much and want to intrude in other people's life it makes me feel like I'm reading thedailymail.
