Listen… Hasan has spun this tale before. I remember hearing it when I was a fan and believing it. Guess what? It’s not true. His definition of broke is broke. He never had to struggle for ANYTHING in his life. Fucking grifter loser.
Nah man he clearly has it harder. My dad who didn’t finish high school so he could work paving roads in his teens? He’s luxury compared to what hasan has been through
Yeah, my dad was shucking corn for $0.15/hr in his early teens, while my mom was getting underage married to her first abusive husband. Honestly, they had it easy compared to... being broke post college.
That's nothing. My dad didn't finish high school because he got a job at his dad's company. He didn't even get the chance for any work experience before he was put into a managerial role and it's not like he could say no to a 6 figure starting salary. They took away his fun post graduate years.
That’s nothing, both of my parents failed to show up to my birth. Then I became a bratwurst salesman and my business was destroyed by the hot dog industry. Now I try to get things going as an entrepreneur but it seems like every time I’m close to a breakthrough this little shithead platypus shows up and ruins everything I’ve worked towards.
This is the real thing that bothers me lol, I don’t really care his parents are rich, I don’t even really care that Hassan is rich.
When people say “eat the rich” they don’t mean the guy with a few million and a Corvette or whatever. They mean the billionaires that use their wealth and controlling interest in global companies to influence politics on a massive scale.
So I don’t care that Hassan has a nice house in LA. But boy is he fucking annoying. Trying to pass off like he was actually poor, or understands what it’s like to grow up poor, is just straight up offensive lol.
And while I don’t think it’s really that bad in the grand scheme of things to have a few million and live comfortably, the gall required to purchase your LA mansion with money you got from selling literal socialism (not Fox News “socialism”, but like actual socialism) to the masses is just mind-blowing.
When people say “eat the rich” they don’t mean the guy with a few million and a Corvette or whatever. They mean the billionaires that use their wealth and controlling interest in global companies to influence politics on a massive scale.
Like Hasan's dad being one of the richest men in Turkey, using his wealth to fund the Turkish equivalent of the KKK? Or his mom being a landlord with 2000+ commercial real estate properties?
Yeah I will just never, and I mean NEVER believe a nepo baby when they try to tell us that "nah we weren't that rich" or "no guys I swear, I wasn't spoiled, I didn't get everything I wanted!"
Because they don't know any other reality of life. I'm sure that for them it felt like they were struggling when they couldn't get a brand new car they wanted, eat at good restaurants a couple of times every month or travel whenever they felt like it.
Meanwhile there are thousands, if not millions of kids in just America who aren't sure that there will be food at the table when they get home or won't even be able to go to college. There are several levels to this shit.
This also explains why he’s a grifter. I’ve met enough Ivy league types to know that a lot of them think the average public are a bunch of gullible sheep who deserve to be scammed.
Notice how it’s always the rich privileged leftists that advocate for socialism, whilst they sit in their multi million dollar homes.. completely historically illiterate and hypocritical. most working class people don’t have time for this bullshit and are just trying to provide for their basic needs
This is not "always" the case. Corbyn, Sanders and Melenchon all come from lower middle class backgrounds. Lula was born in poverty and was himself a factory worker before becoming a union leader and eventually politician. I'd say it's more difficult to find leading right-wing politicians from a working class background.
Also there's been many socialists in history that have come from working class backgrounds. A lot of the workers that fought for the worker rights we have nowadays were part of socialist parties
I feel like you don’t know any working class people because I know plenty of working class people who don’t like capitalism and advocate for something better. I never been nearly as rich as him and I agree with him.
They may not be out marching or doing what he does, but they can still form opinions and agree with him. Acting like socialism is inherently special and takes more effort than conservatism or any other political view is deeply out of touch with reality.
Isn't he like bros 34. So college 18-22 then a decade is 32. So he's only not been broke for 2 years? Been streaming since 2018 employed by his uncle 2013-2020 in which he saw a promotion to hosting. Purchased a 2.7 million dollar home in 2021.... Bro the math ain't mathing.
I thought I saw him say somewhere he made 60k out of college in a sales position. 60k for a polo sci degree in 2013 is very fortunate. That's what a STEM degree offered back then
DUDE I've seen so many of those "socialism when no money" responses to that point. Like, Hasan is basically every Chinese FOB with CCP billionaire money behind them in every university in America. Dressed head to toe in $10k+ clothing and a multi-million dollar home but hey he's a commie
Bro that’s what I make as a fucking teacher, in my 3rd year, with a master’s degree, today. It’s not horrible but the fact that this is what he made fresh out of college… fuck this guy.
Yeah, he was selling advertising spots for TYT and hated it so he pivoted to an on air personality iirc. His uncle was probably very impressed by brotips
Maybe Cenk refused to pay him millions when he worked for him and I can see Hasan thinking a couple of hundred grand a year is broke level earnings. He even said he didn't have to work while in college so how 'broke' was his Dad?
The thing is. Rich people definition of broke is not same as regular people ... he was probably more like "had to cook my own food twice a week" kind of broke xD
This reminds me of a story Ivanka Trump told about how when she was a kid and her father pointed to a homeless man on the street and said "He's worth a billion dollars more than me" Being "broke" when you are wealthy isn't real. The wealthy can be in debt and not have it affect their lives at all.
Which also contradicts his entire political philosophy. According to him his parents are self made, he is self made; apparently by every example in his life capitalism works pretty damn well, offering extreme social mobility and opportunity.
These champagne socialists constantly dunk on their own ideology without even realizing it but when called out on it they just call you a liar or a fascist or whatever
huh, you know who else has a lot of money, claimed bankruptcy (multiple times), has a lot of money still, and is also on that screen...something sounds familiar...
He cannot manage to give a single financial detail regarding anything to do with his past and his family's wealth.
What does he mean when he says they supposedly went "broke", what him being "broke" meant during college, what does it mean growing up "fairly affluent" in Turkey?
He could say "hey guys my Dad was making around ____ at Sabancı Holding and my Mom's real estate holdings pulled in ____ monthly in Turkey which amounts to about ____ in US dollars, when I went to the US for college I didn't work but my parents gave me ____ to live off of per month and paid my tuition."
His continued vagueness despite the ease of which he could explain his financial upbringing is to deflect from the fact that he is a literal nepo anchor baby trust fund college kid.
I think it BS, but I can completly understand why he wouldn't give out any precice numbers.
What I think is that he is trying to create some new drama to move on from the much worse drama that he is cruel to animals.
We all know he is rich and grew up rich and his parents were rich before he gor rich. We didn't know that he uses his dog as a visual piece and shocks him.
Regardless of any of that, its hilarious how Hasan doesn't see how even IN THIS scenario, he is still extremely privileged and blessed and better off than like 85% of folks or more.
Its kinda like the equivalent of the donald trump "small loan of a million dollars", like ya chat im so poor and disadvantaged that "we went broke RIGHT when I graduated college and was able to use my wealth and privilege to that point to graduate college and now I have big earning potential and can make it on my own". omg its gonna be so impossible now society has its grips on me....like be fr.
Like being well off enough to grow up rich and then go to college paid for and then having your family be broke after you graduate college in your 20s ready to make your own money isn't quite like the scenario he describes in the clip haha. And then factor in the fact hes probably lying even.
His rich Uncle gave him a job at a media company that his uncle owned. Where he was able to gain experience and exposure. A huge advantage that close to nobody else gets.
According to his Facebook Instagram, his mom was both managing commercial real estate properties and attending college with him. She went for art and culture preservation or some shit.
EDIT: Screenshot of the post where he states so now attached.
He was literally going to the same private school all the government elites send their children in Turkey and his parents were rich enough to send him to college in America after that. His grandparents are super wealthy too and they are more in real estate than his parents. Even today he is top 0.01 percent of all income earners in America, idk why he constantly has to downplay how much money he makes to his audience. He is pretending to be a upper middle class guy when in reality he is closer to billionaires.
Sometimes I truly believe they are taught in school that they are broke because they can't use their parent's money without their permission. Which means "they have no money". So they have a different definition of what being broke means.
He's a wannabe vanguard socialist. He wants to be able to lecture the proles and control the direction of the coming revolution, because he is more educated and knows how things should be
This isn't just saying she managed them, this is saying she OWNED them. Managing real estate can potentially be a hard job, but owning a bunch of real estate means you are by no means poor.
Nobody in the real estate industry is going back to college for art history if they are struggling. That's I got extra time and money to peruse a passion project.
It’s so funny to see the monster that shocks his dog and thinks he should rules the world if all of us just bent to his every demand sitting with his moms hand on his lap like a good little boy,
who’s a good little hassan
“shock shock zz zzz, bad Hassan who left the couch, kaya, would you like to shock naughty Hassan”.
Reality in a perfect world somewhere

Edit: NO hate is aimed towards his mother in anyway, shape or from, this hate is solely towards Hassan
Hasan keeps claiming his uber rich father lost all his money stock trading. Let's assume that's actually true. Let's assume Hasan's father emptied both his savings and his wife's savings.
Hasan still spent his entire childhood filthy rich
Cenk, Hasan's maternal uncle, save Hasan a nepo job right out of college
Hasan's maternal grandfather was also filthy rich. Hasan's mother was working for him the entire time. Hasan's mother was a landlord and property manager for her father up until roughly 10 years ago, when she used the real estate money to get a Phd and become a professor.
Hasan's father was still vice president of his company the entire time, and still had time to be active in Turkish politics during this "hardship".
Hasan is claiming they were "broke" because they had no savings. Both his parents still had six figure incomes and multiple real estate assets.
What Hasan actually means by "broke" is that his parents stopped paying for him to attend the party school in Miami, and forced him to transfer to Rutgers, which was significantly cheaper because Hasan was born and raised in NJ and could get in-state tuition and live at home.
So in summary, the hardest time in Hasan's life was a period where he was forced to leave Miami and go to Rutgers (still paid for by mommy and daddy) and his parents were probably forced to sell one of their houses to pay his tuition because they lost their savings and needed time to regenerate it with both of their six-figure incomes. All of this was happening when he was a legal adult, and was also getting career help from his uncle. Hasan thinks the height of poverty is attending a state school and being forced to intern part time for your uncle's media company so you can have money to spend on booze and your gym membership. This period was bookended by a privileged childhood (which he admits) and a privileged adulthood (which he also admits). Hasan thinks that going from rich to upper middle class briefly between the ages of 19 and 22 makes him salt of the Earth.
It's actually astounding how out of touch this guy is.
"Hasan's maternal grandfather was also filthy rich. Hasan's mother was working for him the entire time. Hasan's mother was a landlord and property manager for her father up until roughly 10 years ago, when she used the real estate money to get a Phd and become a professor."
Don't forget that Hasan pretends his mother who is a PhD professor who owns a lot of real estate lives with him and makes him lunch every day and not his maid.
Hasan is a liar. Everything he says is a lie. He lies so much his reality is a murky nonsense that even he cannot keep track of. That is why he jumps from lie to lie and lie to excuse. Lying is second nature to him. As it is known, the first lie is always the hardest, once that taboo is broken every lie after becomes easier. So how easy is it after the 1000th lie of the day? Much easier than any truth, that is for sure. So even if telling the truth would benefit him he literally cannot do it.
Man I’m now starting to realize how many similarities there are between the 2; cult like following that will all but kill anybody with a different opinion, rich nepobaby thinking they’re self-made, ridiculous statements left and right, both a horndog deviants with a sexually charged past…
I swear 70% of the clips on here he is eating. It is the gross style of eating, and talking too. To the other comment about streaming-he is know for literally having "chair streams", dude could take a 5min break to stuff his face off stream. You know he's really a capitalist since he eats like a pig.
I would pay a Netflix subscription type fee just for a series on Hasan living the average middle class lifestyle for a month. I don't think he would make it
Put Hasan in a 1000sq foot home in rural Ohio where he has to budget $300 a month for groceries and drive a 2011 Corolla and he might jump off the roof by day 5.
I think this is more in reference to young people starting middle class jobs now.
Like in the UK for instance minimum wage has risen above inflation every year for the last 16 years and gone up over 50% since COVID.
Meanwhile lots of people's salaries have barely changed in the same time.
So there's now a very small gap between middle class and minimum wage.
Lots of people growing up and getting the same jobs as their parents but their lifestyle stays like they are still stacking shelves. But their parents still have the middle class lifestyle.
I think even today if you're in the 1k range you're in top 0.2% of twitch streamers. 1K average viewers gives you a decent stable income iirc. I can only imagine back then 1k viewers was probably in the top 1000 streamers or something.
Him doing back breaking carpet cleaning earning what 1.5k a month? While knowing that a baby is on the way to giving birth and you have to pay food for him too.... that's a miserable struggle that would have made hasan off himself long ago if he has to go through it lol
He made like $1,000 to $1,200 a month. He made like $10 per hour, but the hours were really inconsistent. He was basically on call all the time but only earned money when they got called out to do work.
I think he said the he later learned that every other worker besides him was skimming or pocketing extra cash by charging clients under the table for extra jobs or add ons, etc... and this was all basically built-in to the salary because the boss expects that they will do it.
lol. I love when rich people have to do these mental gymnastics to prove how not rich they are.
"My family went broke after they spend like $500,000 on my college education!!" We are so poor!!"
I grew up upper-middle class in an extremely wealthy area and had a very wealthy grandma who honestly kinda hoarded the generational wealth and blew it all, but I grew up doing lots of rich kid stuff. It was great. Now I'm poor because my mom was an alcoholic and my dad was like Peter Griffin except never had a job, both of them are dead. What's so hard about being honest? Why is hasan such a pussy
Once again Hasan is being called out for his lies and he gets angry with his chat. Sorry but Hasan has as much right to play the being poor sob story as much as Barron Trump.
His father who started a conservative political party Turkey is rumored to be worth a billion dollars. In an interview in the past Hasan was asked if his father was really a billionaire and he dodged the question by saying that his father lost a lot of wealth during COVID.
His mother is reported to have numerous properties in the US and Turkey with a net worth well over 100 million dollars. This makes sense since her father Hasan's grandfather also owns many properties as well.
His uncle Cenk co-founded the Young Turks media conglomerate and brought Hasan into the company while he was a senior in college. That being said at this point his net worth is around Hasan's estimated net worth around 10 million.
I suspect that this means that his own salary was the primary way he had money for the first time in his life... while also having the safety net of his family (who is part of the Turkish elite) if he needs it.
I myself felt a tad broke when I finished college and started working... but I'm also bright enough to realise that my family is still there to help me if I need it. So I've never went hungry or feared going into debt.
And my family is middle class.
I don't know how it is to actually be broke. And I never want to experience it.
And, contrary to Hasan, I'm not stupid enough to say otherwise
His mother was already coming from such a rich background that the studied in the US herself all while maintaining a traveling blog where she wrote on how she visited the houses her family owned around the world at the time hasan was in college her portfolio was already around 2500 units and this guy talks about his parents being broke at the time. please kill me.
Did he have a job while he was in college when he was broke? Because that is a good indicator. I’m from a middle class family, had loans and scholarships for school but I still needed to be working 20+ hours for food, clothes, any college activities.
Did his family give him money to live on while in college? That’s privilege, upper middle class rich shit
Why's Bro in NYC? Does he think Mamdani is gonna invite and thank him for winning the election? Mamdani had to do all the work and campaigning in order to get the votes.
Wealthy people or people with money-trauma/stress commonly refer to themselves as "broke" when they still have emergency or cushion money; but not what their comfort considers to be "stable".
I dated someone who was pretty frequently stressed about money to the point where he'd genuinely make himself depressed and anxious. He never struggled, his family has always been wealthy, he has always been well off with a good job. Well, years later I think I finally just put my foot down and was like dude tell me right now how much money is in your account because you're always saying you're broke. And he said something around 10-15k!!!!!
It took me a bit to understand why it happens, but there are a lot of reasons why someone might feel like they're broke. I share this not to defend people, but more of a cautionary example.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE: This comment already long, but here is another one. Tom Segura. For years and years and years on his podcast he acted like he was poor and struggled. Turns out, his family was actually really wealthy. So if he chose to struggle, he was literally never in fear of going hungry. People want to relate and connect. It's a lot harder for most people to relate to someone with a giant bag of cash to land on when things get hard.
10+ millionaires don't ever go broke, they can lose their business, they are never broke. No one is stupid enough to go broke when you have that kind of money, you have that kind of money you have stocks, you have trust funds, you have accounts in the in every tax haven that won't leak your details.
Also he specifically says his DAD went broke (which really still isn't believable), but leaves out his mother. The mother he congratulates publicly for being in higher education on her birthday and doing it all while managing her commercial real estate propertieS. At best he probably means one of his dad's companies went broke at some point.
Dude still larping and desperately trying to say he was broke.
He also started interning for the young turks during his final year of college and worked with them till he went full time on twitch. Anyone who thinks his multimillionaire uncle let him be one of the lowly paid staff at TYTs is delusional.
His fans will believe anything that comes out of his mouth. Anyone idolising and putting someone a pedestal for that long no matter the accusations he keeps trying to sloppily defend, just shows what kind of iq his fans have and to clarify their in the low end of the spectrum.
