I am richer than my opponent

Thank you, Lawrence. You have lived a fulfilling life for a man your age, perhaps a little too fulfilling. The Story of my Life Until NowGood afternoon to anyone who might be reading this, The name I go by the most is Doug Felix. It's an alias that I have been using since I was around 8 years old. Due to privacy reasons I cannot disclose much personal information during this story, but I do look forward to telling you all how I have accumulated my wealth during these very short 18 years. I am the son of two wealthy doctors who were born in Switzerland to Swiss parents, however have grown up abroad for most of their lives. My father had met my mother during his Universities days while studying in London. And after med school, the both of them had decided to get married. The both of them knew that they would leave Europe and practice in North America as both had many friends and connections to the states. I was born in New York city, along with my two older brothers and a twin sister. I don't remember much about my time in America however, I do remember one winter where my Dad had come home from a long night at the hospital, with Christmas gifts for me and my siblings. They were so wrinkly and wet from the snow that all four of us just started crying and yelled at my mom because we thought that Dad hated his whole family. And I remember on that night he grabbed my brothers and I and sat us all down and just broke down in rage, he had told us that one day we will understand what it's like to work hard and to have a job and make money. He looked the three of us dead in the eye and said, 'you boys need to grow up strong and have a successful job, you can't do that while whining like a bunch of spoilt bitches about Christmas presents' I was 4 years old at the time. I remember this so clearly because the following morning my mom felt sorry for the four of us and decided that she would drive us to school herself. My dad had a very strict philosophy in life which revolved around making money. Being a bunch of 4 year olds who could barely understand the concept of money, my mother took pity on us and wanted to show us love by driving us personally. My kindergarten was 30 minutes away and New York traffic really didn't help. We were 15 minutes late when my mom ran a red light and an incoming cargo bus hit our car. After the accident I woke up in a hospital to my Dad hugging me really tight. He told my that my mom and my oldest brother had died. Now, I don't want to make my personal story too long, but these fundamental experiences have shaped me into who I am today. To make a long story short, after the accident my Dad had quit his job and completely let go of himself. When I turned 7 we had to move away due to complications that I would rather not get into. My dad had sent my sister, and older brother and I to live in Thailand with my grandparents from his side. My Grandpa was a rich Nestle tycoon who oversaw the development of Nestle factories in southeast Asia post 1950's. In Thailand, I attended a boarding school for International students who came from various backgrounds. Mostly the children of elite business men and women. Since a young age I had withdrawn to computers and definitely took interest in computer sciences. A catalyst of this interest was looking at a high school HTML textbook and reading all about the ability of websites. Since my Dad had drilled a business mindset into all of his children since a very young age, I instantly recognized the opportunity to make money off of web-design. But at that age, I would be lying if I said that it wasn't about simply being fascinated with the processes. In my Sophomore year of high school in my computers class, along with my best friend who spoke Chinese, I created a blogging site in Chinese which worked in similar way to tumblr. Some key features were different but essentially the idea behind it was to be able to blog about travel experiences. The website launched in China and has since gained a user base north of 2 million people. Back in 2013 I sold it under my father's name for 78,000,000 Thai Baht, which is slightly north of 2.5million dollars. I started University early, but dropped out shortly after as I found that classes were very slow and didn't promote Entrepreneurship nearly enough. Since 2013, I have created dozens of website that have accumulated great amounts of networth and stock market value. I currently own 2 of the largest Online gambling websites which are primarily based in Australia and Japan. Shortly after my 17th birthday last year, I had filled for emancipation so that I could make transactions and keep more tax deductable money in my own name instead of using my Father's name. Along with this, in 2014 I had put a highly technologically advanced security system on the market which was bought by google for 2.3Billion dollars. Unfortunately due to my NDA's I cannot disclose a lot of detailed information about a lot of my sales. To date, I have an estimated net worth of 2.9billion dollars. However, along with my Grandfather's Inheritence, my Networth will be well above 3.6Billion dollars. -----------------------------------------------------------------------Thought I may at the time, not have as much money as my opponent I will say that my complex history and background has made me a billionaire in character. I have dealth with struggles and emotionally problems that no Children should ever have to. I had to learn what independence is from a very young age. Along with this, I am a multicultural, Third cultured kid and dual passport holder. I attribute a humongous portion of my success to my ability to integrate into different cultures and to learn from them. Currently I am fluent in 5 different languages and am in the process of learning 3 more(Arabic, Portuguese and Dutch) For all of these reasons, I will ask any voters to consider a broder definition of rich. And I will argue this until the very last round. Although my opponent has outline this clearly, I would like to ask that he consider rich in a broader perspective, taking into account wisdom, personal experience, intelligence and character. Thank you.
