As stated sounds bullshit.
However blacked owned businesses are a beautiful thing but if someone offers you half a billion for a company like that you're a damn fool not taking it.

From LA Times
So much enthusiasm surrounds the company that there's now a persistent rumor that Walker turned down a half-billion-dollar buyout offer from Gillette to keep his company black-owned.
"That's not true," Walker says. But he can understand why the rumor started.

He needs to make a nice after shave colonge, body wash,
and like a nice shea butter lotion...

Yeah in my mind I sell it and make another product. But I get why someone wouldn't. Takes balls of steel if this were true.
Its a risk to not sell...
But think if it gets big... ownership creates generational wealth... it be beautiful to be the one offering to buy the competition in 10 years.
Selling now kills that
With this line of thinking you can't complain when there is no black owned business or very few.

I feel you.
I respect that thought process.
I also think that 1,500,000,000 dollars ($1.5B) IS generational wealth.
I feel you but if it's worth that to them, it's worth more to you
Has Bevel been taken public?
Signature fade with the Bevel blade..that's major key.
Props to Tristan on his success. Hear ads for Bevel on a few of the podcasts in my rotation.
Bullshit.
Businesses like that are vulnerable in a global economy. Additionally the market is flooded with these sort of products. It would be very easy for a bigger company to replicate what he is doing, market to us, and charge far less which would kill his business. It happens everyday.
You get offered 500 million flat for that business you take it and invest it in multiple black businesses as opposed to holding onto one business in the hopes that it will continue to grow.
too bad he'll be shot by some jealous niggas or racist cops
I would sell for 50 mill or 5 mill but then again. He is probably worth 10 million personally.
If he is smart, being worth 10 million is enough for him and his family.
Therefore he doesn't NEED to sell for 500 mill cause he is good.
But alas this story is complete horse-shit.

I see that his company can be worth as much as reported. I see a bunch of idiots here don't think globally, and don't know numbers. Last time I checked, on the continent of Africa, the population is north of 1.1 billion, with economic growth at 6% in some countries, and look at the large population of African Descendants in Caribbean, Central, and South America... There is a larger market at play than the maybe 18+ million black males that we have here...
That's what I was thinking as well. He can be a billionaire from people of African decent spread throughout the world. I wish him the best. Fucking white devils wanted to throw him some nigga pennies and spic change and he told them no. I love it.
Same shit dudes in my barber shop said. Not worth the money. I'm hoping they improve being this is the first run. Wife getting me some for Xmas.
Dudes were saying this before they were even released. I took it as salty throwing
I haven't tried them but I asked for some for Christmas
Thanks, I will just stick to the Andis..
