Money Mark was born rich. He never had to work a day in his life and he got everything handed to him. When he was six, Mark wanted to go to a basketball game. His father paid the starting five of the Warriors and Cavs to play a private game of Nerf-ball in Mark’s bedroom. When Mark turned thirteen, he wanted to start a band. His father hired One Direction to play with him every Saturday at the family’s private concert hall, though his family was never there. By the time he was twenty-one, Mark was bored with life. He was surrounded by a bunch of possessions that he didn’t appreciate. Despite his vast wealth, Mark never found happiness.
