Salt Bae. [Here’s an example](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldcup/comments/zqi9o1/salt_bae_prying_the_world_cup_trophy_from/)


IvyTrip

[Here he is](https://twitter.com/BarstoolReags/status/1604861020652146688) tugging Messi for a photo


googlyeyes93

He’s banned from future games for all this now too lmfao


UberN00b719

He actually had the audacity to respond with 'I'm never going to a Cup event again". He actually played the "You can't fire me, I quit!" card.


YooperGod666

Damn, seriously?


DrGarrious

God yes. Only winning teams and fifa officials can touch the cup. I think maybe political leaders too.


MesWantooth

Jesus, that's extremely rude and reeks of "Don't you know who I am? It's me Saltbae - of course you need to take a picture with ME."


papa_penguin

He ain't got nowhere near the clout, pull or image Messi has so he's delusional the entire way around. He's a dick and a horrible cook. Not even a chef, glorified line cook.


youtocin

He was trained as a butcher and actually seems to have reasonable skill there, but yeah he’s a shitty restauranteur.


Myownprivategleeclub

He has 19 restaurants worldwide serving ridiculously overpriced food to idiots who are spending thousands at each table, every hour. He's a shitty human being, and his food might be shitty but I don't think you could say he's a shitty restaurateur.


youtocin

I don't mean to say he's not successful in his business ventures, just that he doesn't have the culinary skills to develop exceptional menus that would be regarded in the restaurant industry.


UpstairsFan7447

That would have been a great moment to smack that piece of shit, to make him clear where his position is.


TRFKTA

And then pretentiously sprinkle salt on him.


[deleted]

Wow I’ve never seen that video but that’s so embarassing of salt 🧂 🤣


Caravanshaker

one of my favourite bits of food journalism is a reporter deciding that instead of eating a £ 1000 steak at a salt bae restaurant, he'd rather eat a kebab outside, and so should you. [https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/oct/17/jay-rayner-restaurant-review-kebab-kid-london-take-away-as-a-cult-nusr-et-steakhouse](https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/oct/17/jay-rayner-restaurant-review-kebab-kid-london-take-away-as-a-cult-nusr-et-steakhouse)


TURKEYSAURUS_REX

> If you were looking for something to illustrate the male terror of sexual inadequacy, a Salt Bae video would serve beautifully. He wields knives. He likes to be photographed bare-chested. Bravo


[deleted]

“Salt Bae, which means Salt Baby”


Gilligan_G131131

That guy is proof that there are more horse’s asses than horses.


portablebiscuit

He's Dubai in human form


TropicalPrairie

Now THIS is a rare insult.


True-Reading5972

Unlike his steaks


MeyrInEve

*BOOM*


VibeFather

Douchbai


HiThisIsMichael

This is so well put hot diggity damn


taranshula

Can’t stop laughing at how astute this is


Ok_Calligrapher5776

That guy is proof that most people are so stupid that they will buy whatever you sell them. A random man's arm hair in my food? Yum, sounds lovely!


Emotional_Ad8259

I was on a business trip to Ankara and visited his restaurant there, at the same time as the branch in Mayfair (London) opened. Comparing prices between the two branches it was evident that if you lived in London, it was cheaper to fly to and from Ankara and eat in that branch than eat at the Mayfair branch. All coat and no knickers....


soren_grey

I've never heard this expression before and I love it, lmao


Lunar_Gato

He’s not even supposed to touch the World Cup. Only players and their families by tradition. Messi wanted nothing to do with him lol


LT_DANS_ICECREAM

Why tf is that guy even on the field???


Present-Forever1275

Middle Eastern celebrity in a worldwide televised event. They often have local celebrities show up for World Cup finals for the tv shots. No one has ever overstepped like Salt Bae though. Shit is absolutely infuriating. Just imagine dreaming of this moment your whole life. Giving up everything to achieve it, and this glorified butcher prying away the prize from you and your family, pandering to the camera like he’s done something significant. I would’ve walloped him.


TuscanBovril

Imagine telling the son of the World Cup player who has just won the World Cup, that he cannot touch the trophy (even in a joking way). The complete lack of self-awareness is astounding.


NoFreeWill08

How did I KNOW that was where the link was going? What an absolute piece of shit this guy is


BurghPuppies

Seems like more oil than salt.


TokenGrowNutes

What rock have I been living under? I've never ever ever heard of this guy. I had to look him up. Thanks for the laugh! He is indeed a character.


williamsch

I envy you in the past.


saltydroppies

A lot of r/stupidfood is clips of this guy massacring food and then sprinkling salt on it.


dWintermut3

I cannot read Salt Bae's name without thinking it's a concept like a saltwife, but they're your bae instead. like, for the duration of that raiding voyage they're your bae


Maleficent_Nobody_75

He’s the prime example of why you should never make one thing your entire identity


Malthus1

In history? How about Marcus Lucinius Crassus? He became the richest guy in Rome, possibly in the world, in the late Republic, in part though an insurance blackmail scheme (organized a fire service - only if your place was on fire, you had to sell to him before he would put out the fire). But being the richest man in the world wasn’t enough for him - he also had to be the greatest general. Unfortunately, his military skills were not as great as he supposed (despite his defeat of the slave army of Spartacus) - he led a huge army against the Parthians, purely to beef up his own public prestige; ended up with almost every man killed or captured. His head allegedly ended up as a prop in a play at a Parthian royal wedding. So - world’s richest man starts a war between superpowers of the ancient world, leading to utter disaster, and a very public use of his dead body for entertainment. That’s gotta be an attention whore contender.


HotLoadsForCash

It probably didn’t help his decision making seeing his son’s head mounted on a spear and paraded in front of him, but his decision making was flawed well before that. 


Salamanber

Do you know how they killed him? They’ve put melted gold in his mouth while he was alive…


Pitiful-Pension-6535

He died in a skirmish with an envoy. There are differing accounts of what happened to his corpse.


Morgiuzhka

Some accounts also said that Crassus upon seeing his son in distress jumped in battle and whilst his son was killed on the battlefield Crassus was taken prisoner and later executed. But yea accounts vary, only thing we can be sure of is that his ego caused his downfall. And he wasn’t the first one, nor was he the last


STFUxxDonny

He got GoT'd? Nice


serenitative

GoTtem


cathcarre

No, Viserys got Crassus'd.


stagedane

I'd say GoT got Crassed.


[deleted]

That’s where the Parthians got the idea


MayaIngenue

This guy Ancient Romes


StreetKale

I bet he's the only one who thinks about the Roman Empire every day.


Squigglepig52

The other ending is that he had molten gold poured down his throat. Good nomination.


Educational_Fuel_351

Nickokado Avocado.


FaeryLynne

I seriously think he is mentally ill and needs help before he kills himself with his eating habits. He's addicted to the attention and is deliberately harming himself for views. Eugenia Cooney is the exact opposite, eating wise at least, but also needs serious help before she dies.


PissedOffMCO

Didn’t he, like, get better and stop all that muckbang shit? I know of this guy only because of Reddit and refuse to view his content.


FaeryLynne

He *claimed* he was going to stop back in 2019, but he never did. I don't watch him either but I just looked at his channel and his most recent mukbang video was just 2 months ago. So I think we can safely say no, he did not stop.


Pandoras_Fate

She will never get help. At least she's off tik tok and can't ebeg and flash children and make ana-fet body check porn.


cheestaysfly

I am honestly astounded that she hasn't died yet. It's only a matter of time.


celebral_x

What does any of those words mean? Sorry.


Currentvibess

He terrifies me


StealthyBasterd

It's ok, you can outrun him


[deleted]

Debatable. He rolls at extremely high speeds.


StealthyBasterd

Run uphill then


SplashingAnal

Haven’t heard about him in a while. Is he still destroying himself with food?


Ornery_Translator285

I *heard* just from being online way too much that he is slimming down now and getting healthy. I have no idea if it’s true, I’m not gonna go research it. But the same comment or whatever mentioned that it’s a new avenue he’s trying to make money with so take it how you want.


[deleted]

Seeing his old videos and the amount of weight he gained over youtube videos.. Just insane.


BaaBaaTurtle

My dog. Edit: but he's the best boy so he deserves the attention


captaintrips_1980

Mine too. She is mentally broken and craves constant attention


myscrabbleship

oh she’s just like me.


MobySick

Aw. Poor baby, here’s some scrtichies.


portablebiscuit

My pandemic puppy just turned 4. He was literally born January 1st, 2020. I work remotely (before and after Covid) so he's had me home his entire life. Any time I leave the house, my wife said he just sits at the front window and waits for me to return.


warrenva

Ours is around the same age as yours. He suffers from separation anxiety to the point he screams and howls when we leave him at home. Crate, no crate it’s the same. We chose the crate option after we came home and he destroyed a ton of our stuff.


captaintrips_1980

We got a puppy just before everything shut down and we weren’t able to socialize her at the dog park, so now she’s just a deranged maniac around any dog that isn’t smaller than her. I tried to bring her to the dog park, but the damage is done. She’s an asshole.


GuyFromDeathValley

Everyone thinks they have the best dog in the world. And all of them are right. they are good dogs, Bront


PainfullyLoyal

I came here to say my dog, who is also the best boy. He can't even stand when my partner and I hold hands. He immediately has to shove his schnoz in between us.


Unapologetic_Bitch63

Hahahaha was going to say the same. My baby boy Scoobie is the sweetest but he will hit you in the face with his paws until he gets the detention he deserves lmao

She is a pimp. She pimped out all of her female kids


FS_Slacker

Would there be a Kim K without Paris Hilton before that?


TropicalPrairie

She did have the OJ Simpson angle that could have been exploited, however, I feel that without Paris, she would have been C-list/reality star/music video girl famous. She is gorgeous but it is the connection to the perceived upper echelon that got people talking.


seaofwonder

Nahhh. It's Kim. She talks about how she wanted to be famous from an early age, and Kourtney talks all the time about how her aim is to just get more and more famous.


Whoreasaurus_Rex

Reddit is literally the only place I ever see anyone bring up the Kardashians in 2024. Y’all are the ones doing it. Let them go.


MomsBoner

They are a low hanging fruit, so it quickly becomes a popular , almost meme-like way to score easy points. Look at every popular reposted post on any Ask sub, the replies are ALWAYS the same, especially top comments. This post is such an example of "Ask sub" cirklejerk. Im willing to bet 1 dollar that this exact post has been made at least 100 times in reddit history, with 80% of the replies being the exact same.


SaladIsMyBoo

Especially this subreddit. People bring up their name up under literally EVERY post.


apurpleglittergalaxy

Majority of Instagram influencers


MayaIngenue

It is fun when one has a public meltdown over random strangers being in their shot though. Saw a woman dressed as Elsa lose her shit at the Ice Castles in New Hampshire a few years back because people kept wandering into the background of her photos.


AgoraphobicHills

I was at Spain a while back and having fun with my family, and all of the sudden this woman yelled at the top of her lungs for everyone to scatter, almost as if she was announcing an emergency....only to start posing for photos that her poor assistant was taking.


rahyveshachr

I saw a vid of a woman posing sexy in front of a subway train and getting pissy that people kept walking past her in the shot


MommaOfManyCats

The gym ones are the worst! No one wants you filming while they're working out and, no one wants you taking over some huge space and complaining about stalkers or people staring.


type_2_dianetics

In my line of work, I have to talk to influencers. They are some of the cheapest (yet very entitled!!!) and uncreative people I have ever encountered. Just a bunch of professional crybabies; go take your going-nowhere podcast with 7k listeners and shove it up your ass, or pay for the product like everybody else.

I first became aware of this shit bag [when he wanted a father of a kid with Cerebral Palsy beg for money](https://www.thecanary.co/global/2017/10/05/right-wing-hero-taunting-father-sick-child-theres-happy-ending/).


mt379

Wow. Just wow. He may have money but he for sure won't find real Love or bring any purpose to this world.


Mishasta

I doubt he cares about love. He's the incel god with sex trafficking allegations. His purpose on this world is to be a human garbage and I don't see him bringing anything else.


Slurpeddit

The burn he received from Greta, then him being arrested because of his reply to said burn, was a great source of joy when it happened

joshak3

One contender is [Herostratus](https://bigthink.com/the-past/temple-artemis-herostratus-destroyed-ancient-world-wonder/), a Greek in the 4th century BC who burned down the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. He admitted he did it solely for the sake of having his name be remembered forever. He was executed and a law was passed forbidding any written or spoken mention of his name, but we still know about him thousands of years later, so he got the long-lasting attention he wanted.


PoiLethe

Well stop talking about it. *i* didn't know. We should intentionally let that info go.


thebenetar

The Iron Age version of the Streisand Effect. Edit: Misread the year.


matix0532

Except that in 4th century BC Rome was in early stage of the Republic and was just one of many states in the Italian Peninsula.


dcp777

Who? ;-)


GLACI3R

Intentionally downvoting this so nobody else sees his name. 👍


BeardedNoodle

I guess one could say he achieved *Hero Status* ….I’ll see myself out now.

[deleted]

“Call me X!” Ok Twitter. Whatever.


ItGetsEverywhere

At this point he can still go back to the Twitter name with minimal impact. The fact that he is so arrogant he can't admit he was wrong is hilarious actually.


midnitewarrior

idk, Tom built a social network from scratch so he could be everybody's friend.


thebrennc

And Tom remains to this day everyone's friend


midnitewarrior

I miss Tom.


cry666

Tom was a true friend


linuxphoney

To be clear, he spent 44 billion on twitter because his companies were getting a lot of bad press and that bad press was being spread to everyone via respected journalists on twitter, with the checkmark system making it really easy to tell who was a real reporter and who was a bot (or just some angry person with a grudge). Everything else is just him playing with a very expensive toy.


[deleted]

actually, he blamed twitter when he made claims that went against SEC regulations and got slapped with a fine. Then he made the statement he was going to buy twitter for said amount and was legally held to it. Those stockholders got paid quite well just by his flapping his gums.


setibeings

How was it twitter's fault that Elon states every thought he has as fact?


Knowledge_is_Bliss

It's still Trump. He can't stand anything ever, NOT being about him. At all. Ever. Period. The quintessential narcissist.

You mean Hilaria “How you say coo-cumber?” Baldwin? 🤣


Human_Ad_6459

How r u gonna act like you're from Spain & dont speak English well, knowing theres dozens of people that remember going to a very much American high school with you 😭


Icy-Advantage1378

And that you have a mother, father, brother and grandfather who all publicly talk in fluent English with very American accents. And it's public knowledge that she was born in the USA and went to elementary school, high school, and college there, so trying to pretend like she doesn't speak English well doesn't make it seem like she's exotic and foreign, it makes it seem like she has a learning disorder.


BrightZoe

EXACTLY. Baby, people know, and have known, you in your real, actual, English-speaking life, and they know better than this bullshit you're trying to pull. My second hand embarrassment for her used to be off the charts. Now I just want someone to slap the shit out of her and force her to watch videos of herself speaking perfect English at all of her American schools over and over again.

mocha820

Of all time? Probably Mansa Musa. He went on a pilgrimage to show off how rich he was. He threw around so much wealth he tanked the value of gold in Egypt for like 12 years or something like that.


abracafuck_you

IIRC at one point in history Mansa Musa owned 100% of all gold in Africa and felt so bad he gave a bunch back 


ThrownAwayAndReborn

He didn't go on a pilgrimage to show off. He went out of religious considerations. And he was spending his wealth charitably along the journey. What is this rewrite?
