If you watched the Super Bowl, then you saw a whole lot of Travis Kelce, incredible coverage on Taylor Swift, and a very questionable ad on Temu. You probably remember the ad well, right? Temu: shop like a billionaire. It played, like, 500 times throughout the game. But can you actually shop like a BILLIONAIRE on Temu? If FaZe Rug, HopeScope, Mia Maples, and the hundreds of other CZcamsr videos have shown us anything about the brand, the answer is a strong NO. But we had to find out for ourselves. Will we walk around looking like tech moguls Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Mark Cuban? Can we strut in a dress as expensive as Taylor Swift’s? Or will the Temu dupes make our space look like Kim Kardashian’s Sknn office decor with a bunch of Donald Judd dupes? C’mon, loyal Theorist, let’s shop like billionaires!

Hi
Hi Style!
Cool !
Bro commented 2 hours ago when the vid was made a minute ago
No~ **starts up TEMU ad** IMMA SHOP LIKE ONE ❤

The temu yearn for all your personal information
YESSSSS

liar! they yearn for 100 hour work weeks!
✨Shop like a billionaire✨ (off the backs of children) but ✨shop like a billionaire✨
Sooo... Like a billionaire.
I don't think you can quit being their advertising hog,
even normal billionaires get their money of the back of children
why do i hear this autotuned?
@@ltfreeborn ✨sparkls✨
I get why Amy(and the script writers) didn't go into the horrible aspects of Temu (Child labour, secruity risks, etc) because it was about their "shop like a billionaire" slogan. As well as going into such a serious topic so early into taking over a challenge is a big risk. I hope that in the future they are a little more mindful of these topics.
I mean they did it for shien?
@@renboardley-evans9866doing it for SHEIN while essentially supporting said unethical practices by buying off temu is a bit eh
They did it for shien. I think its because they actually don't care, I mean they constantly mention coke, McDonald's, and Starbucks. So they're definitely zionists.
And shein and aliexpress and everyone else. They even have the same shopping systems and interfaces. Not to mention they've been caught red-handed (along with more "legit" brands) with each other's logos on their clothes, meaning they use the same workshops.
You shouldn't trust any of them DOESN'T use borderline slavery...
Omg no way they deleted my comment. Anyways, what I originally said, was they don't care. They have shown support for coke, Starbucks, AND McDonald's, all zionist companies. They only called shien out because their FRIEND. So tbh they don't care unless it affects them.
Really glad the comments section on this video is respectfully calling out all the problems with Temu! Hopefully they make a community post or something of the like addressing everyone's concerns and highlighting the issues with Temu 😓
Honestly I don't see why they should. You should be allowed to talk about a company without being obligated to rant about all their issues.
@@racool911 yeah it's just very SJWish which is hated now by specially by non SJWs
I don’t see one they would. The only thing I’ve gotten from this video is that Temu sucks.
Talking about protecting your data while using Temu has a bit of irony.
It's honestly a perfect set up, surprised they didn't lean into it. Maybe worried about getting sued?
I wonder if it was originally part of the idea but too risky for the sponsor
Came to the comments to say just this!
@@kingofhearts3185Can’t be sued for defamation if it’s not false
@@1katari They have the money to drag it out. You don't have to be right to win.

And Force millions of children to work in unsafe conditions making almost zero profit 💀💀 I'm so angry
Looking at you Taylor Swift
Shop like a billionaire! Exploit like a billionaire!
I think style theory should potentially make a future episode addressing the issues and negative thing about temu.
There's an abundance of CZcams videos that cover that exact topic. Just watch those instead. There's no point in doing the same thing as everyone else
Everyone rightfully criticizing the unethical labor used for Temu needs to also realize and act on the fact that Amazon, target, Ross, etc. uses the same items and same exploited labor.
Yeah but (at least Amazon) doesn't use child labor.
There is way too many places that do this, you are so right to point this out!
Yep, anything dropshipped should be avoided. Amazon is full of it
yuppp avoid amazon like the plague when you can, they've been known to exploit their workers for years and they dropship plenty of items from the same questionable places temu does. thrifting has more recently gained popularity (especially with younger generations like mine) and lost a lot of its negative stigma because we want more sustainable options readily available, and it being cheap is a plus. There are some companies that are more transparent with where they get their materials and where manufacturing takes place (think the tags with QR codes) but those options tend to be out of a lot of peoples budgets (ethical practices and higher wages make things more expensive). But hopefully the energy activists have keeps up and more changes in the industry come
I'm a bit disappointed that the episode didn't go into all the security risks apps like temu and it's sister company presented
Same. And the very, very questionable ethics of child labor and all that
why would it? sure, it's important, but unrelated to the topic and a bit too heavy
@@shradibop Not unrelated when we're talking about the costs of Temu.
There are security risks with all shopping and social media apps, and there is child labor for almost all big companies. Might as well go through this for every single video.
@@shradibopNot unrelated, it's through the exploitative work conditions and through the illegal theft of private information that Temu makes their fortune and can afford to keep their prices so low.

"minus 8 dollars" 😭😭
so the children pay temu 8 dollars

nah temu straight up robs them @@Robodorisen
@@demonrelm2474 its just math
I’m a little disappointed that there was an episode about Style Theory where they bought things off of Temu. I would love to see a deep dive of their work practices instead
I’m sad I thought it was going to be a clickbait title but get into the horrors. Guess they sold out.
@@simplesimply3753Sold out??? To who??? 💀
just keep on reporting all the spam bot comments and i know some will asy it wont work so i want you to give your ideas on how to stop them.
Same cause temu is so shady and full of malware
@@simplesimply3753 they didn't sell out to anyone, they were dunking on temu for the whole episode
I'm surprised TEMU's more "unsavoury" practices weren't mentioned...
Just thinking about the toxic chemicals that were on those boots. Hearing her complain about them. Thinking about the children working with those chemicals all day everyday
As someone who works at temu it’s not that bad tbh
@somebreadcat Which part of their production chain do you work in, and what general geographic region? Human rights vary immensely between middle managers in Oslo, and factory workers in China.
@@somebreadcat what job do you have, and what region do you work in?
@@noobynoob138I think they're just trying to be a 'internet edgelord'
@@somebreadcat you don't work at Temu. If you did you'd be too young to spell. Either that or auto correct is better than it was.
Every person I’ve ever met who got in Temu proceeded to have the service steal their information. Enormous scam
What does "steal their information" mean in this case?
Please explain.
ive never had that happen to me, sooo
Please elaborate. I've used it a few times and don't see anything sus yet.
@@jessy1982 As far as I know, by Temu "stealing your information", they basically steal your card information and (probably will) use that said information on other sites.
Temu is also fast fashion so I don't necessarily recommend using it.
Waiting for my "How to Stop Temu" Video . Loved the Shein one .
i really wish she didnt buy from temu, because even if its for the video, this video couldve taken more of a hypothetical route without actually buying the product.
agree they could have done something like they did talking about how bad Shein actually is without buying and supporting the company even if she did say the stuff she bought was bad.
I get what you're saying, however, I think showing the quality on a popular channel most likely harms TEMU more than just shooting a hypothesis in the void. I do believe that mentioning the shady side would have been in place but as overall harm done to TEMU goes, this probably is unintentionally doing more 😅
I get why Amy didn’t focus on the other obvious issues with Temu (child labor, identity theft, etc.). The whole concept of the video is about the “shop like a billionaire” aspect so they didn’t go into all that. They kept the focus and I did learn a lot about the rich if nothing else. Does it still leave a terrible taste in my mouth? Definitely. But I do get their thought process. I do hope they do something down the line where they discuss these aspects.
I understand that observation, but that decision isn't very theorist. It's an inconsistent approach compared to how they addressed other stores like Shein in the past. I just feel like this channel is capable of sharing knowledge like they've always done.
@@LeoPerkkyea i’m wondering if it’s because of the company they sold to
They are a theorising channel not a documentary one. I understand their choice.
They don't always have to point out the obvious, i like that they kept on topic tbh
Well, the is a STYLE channel so ya
Respect to Amy for risking her private information for the videos
Honestly, I hope that after this episode nobody on the team goes to temu again for anything
Same
Can we get a follow up Style Theory about how these items actually get made? It only takes like the barest effort to find out that there's more devious things at work than simply not having a middle man.
The fact they didn't mention any of this is actually shocking
@swordsandstories2468 I was surprised too especially after how they handled Shien
@@swordsandstories2468 well they have talked about that stuff in the past and this video is very specific on comparing the products, I would geuss that they might have a bigger video in the future about those subjects, and if they don't then that's what the comments section is for, make them aware that you want to see them talk about it.
@@TiredMoonRabbit it still seems like a huge oversight in responsibly, there's no guarantee someone will watch a past or future video
@@swordsandstories2468 sure I can see that, but honestly that seems to be a constant issue across the board for all creators now a days.
Day 2 of asking the theory team to do an episode on period products. I want to know what the best pad is, which product is the most sustainable, which is best for the environment, etc.
While one could argue it would only be watched and utilized by, ideally, half the community watching these videos, one could say something similar about the 1000 Layers of Nail Polish, or the Pockets Conspiracy, or numerous other weird videos like eating Pokémon. I'd give that a watch.
I hope you guys guys scrubbed your devices of any possible hidden spyware that the app is currently getting sued for
Temu is actually an acronym
T-Child
E-Labor
M-Child
U-Labor
Sadly, Temu's far from the only company that uses too much child labour.
Lol hope you feel that way about everything else in your life. If child labor bothered you then you wouldn't have a lot of stuff atm. Pick your battles
@@everettjohnson9374 Actually, I think child labor is a great battle to pick.
@@everettjohnson9374So what you're saying is because child labor creates so many items it is justified and you can't be against it? No it is not justified and you can be against it.
You are part of the problem why child labor is a problem. Because you justify it, perhaps by mistake or maybe because you lack the proper knowledge to know when your logic is invalid.
T- child
E- Labour
M- harvesting

@@UnCursedtemu is just cheaply made junk that comes from overseas and is incredibly overpackaged in plastic. Not to mention the emissions from making the junk in the first place.
Yeah, while the rest of us are trying to recycle everything we can, the super-wealthy are buying airplanes and things that who knows what they do with them when they're done. They complain about global warming as they merrily jet off to another vacation spot.
@@UnCursedwhat?
@@kch8919what?
I think you guys need to do a follow-up video on who TEMU really is. This feels like a borderline ad for a company that is problematic, in the nicest terms. I know you can do better. I understand that point was to test the whole "Shop like a billionaire" thing, but I feel like you ignored the elephant in the room.
what about that is style or fashion?
I don’t understand how it’s feels like an ad tho maybe it’s the tone of her voice but she was literally criticizing the cheap construction of the items by the first outfit
I think the Temu slogan of shop like a billionaire is pointing to the idea of not having to worry about costs when shopping for goods, rather than to actually shop for goods like billionaires.
now I'm imagining matpat wearing the dresses from this episode and laughing hysterically
I did too and it was hilarious
This comment... after I saw fan art of matpat in a dress today (it's on the reddit).
It's a weird coincidence.
Alas, if only they did this video about a month or so ago
I could only imagine Steph and Amy twinning each other..
this is probably the most activity one of my comments has ever gotten so thank you to everyone for liking and replying.
It’s all fun and games till they steal your credit card information
huh
Sure is! :D
China vibes
Lol so far it hasn't happened.
My boss said it happened to both her and her daughter @@everettjohnson9374
Temu:’shop like a billionaire’
Me :losing all my personal information
Matpat: Does a video exposing fast fasion.
Amy: Gives fast fasion a bunch of money.
Ikr! I love Amy, but she should've mentioned the major problems about temu and discouraged anyone from buying from them!
To be fair I don't think this completely falls on Amy since someone else probably came up with the idea and wrote the script, but I don't know how this was greenlit considering their previous stance with Shein
This video is almost as old as the average temu workers age!!!
One hour old.
Yep, checks out.
And we are all thankful since without it you wouldn't be able to leave this comment 😅 pick your battles and move on
It's funny how this video can be 15 years old and it'd still be messed up
@@everettjohnson9374Ah, yes, because exploiting children for cheap labor is definitely not a battle worth picking... 🙄
I was sincerely hoping that this video wouldn't be a ad for that absolutely awful company.
and it wasn’t
@@Youtub-IDK low key tho it was. She literally would have endorsed temu if they had better quality items....
@@demonrelm2474but she didnt it was just an honest review
Well you're in luck because it wasn't, if you actually watched the video it failed miserably in every way except for the table, it's the exact opposite of an Ad saying how bad it is
You didn't watch the video, did you?
Man, this is tough. I feel like this is a huge miss. Temu has a ton of serious ethical concerns that go completely unmentioned, such as child labor, environmental impact, and potential privacy concerns. I also had an issue with the methodology when it came to the electric razor last week. I genuinely want to continue to watch and support this channel like all the other theorist ones, but maybe this change wasn't for me. I'm gonna give it another shot on the next episode and hope for the best.
Wait, you feel like you don't want to support a channel because in 1 video they didn't talk about something which wasn't even the topic of the video.
The topic of this video was if the Superbowl commercial slogan was true or not, the topic of this video had nothing to do with the ethical problems of Temu. That topic would require it's own video to be properly explained. Would you rather some 30 seconds that briefly go over Temu's ethical problems or a 15 minute video doing the same thing? Either way if that's the kind of video you're looking for I'm sure you can find it on CZcams from some other channel.
What I'm trying to say is if you're going to cancel your support over 1 video where they didn't talk about something that wasn't even the topic of the video is a bit ridiculous.
5:38 😂😂😂
"Including you, camera B, I see you over here.HEY, HEY eyes up here."
You guys should talk about how online stores sell "health" products that actually have aton radioactive properties in online stores. Especially Temu and Wish.
Is Temu in on that now? That's always been confusing to me, it seems like it should cost MORE to make a scam product have actual thorium in it than to just use inert garbage.
they what? 😀
@@deadworm7533 They are advertised as "negative ion" healing something or other. The Thought Emporium CZcams channel did a couple videos a few years ago exposing them and reporting them to the NRC.
As neat that would be, that style of content isn't done by these channels
And TikTok shop
Incogni sponsoring a Temu-centric video is too appropriate.
matpat busts the wall down WHY IS THERE A 10 THOUSAND CHARGE ON MY CREDITCARD
I feel like this was more of a advertisement than a criticizing video. After scrolling through the comments, I realize that I'm not alone and distrusting Temu
Watch the end of the video, most of the comments didn't even reach half 😅
Can we not forget the TEMU ad actually shows a woman casually changing races
Oh my god i noticed that too! I thought i was the only person who saw it
Had to rewind to that part. Literally didn't notice, but you're right. That's messed up
It’s just bad lighting really, at least from what I saw.
And at the exact same moment the song says "all of my wishes came true!" Like?
That's wild 💀@@F1Tom2005
I have a bad feeling about how well this video is gonna be recieved...
Yeah, I think this is just a bad decision they made, but it sucks it’s her second video
Yeah bad decision since everyone I know just got ripped off.
Pretty much the entire video was just complaining about temus products. Not exactly endorsing the company
@@DarthAxolotl True, and i’m glad about that. But as soon as i saw temu’s name i knew what all the comments were gonna be about lol
what happened?
In my school, if you could repair / create your own clothes you would be considdered as a fashion-neer ( fashion engineer). And it bypassed school dresscodes. I could even wear my armor on fridays during metal forging class.
Extra note. Don’t use a MANAGED brokerage account. Instead just go for the passive brokerage account and aim for low cost index fund. You pay too much in fees for the actively managed ones, and they seldom beat out the index funds over long periods.
I feel like Amy was born to takeover style theory😊
Maybe its because she didn't take over. Matpat even confessed the channel has pretty much always been hers.
we might see some advertisement of temu on any video relating to temu most likely. or she could quit it because since she has a massive fanbase etc the channel has a massive fanbase. would ruin temu so they prop let her quit without any trouble.
@@ryanthecringeanimator9541 I assume you mean she was the one making the scripts and coming up with most/all ideas?
@@TrixyTrixter She was the creative director before taking over completely, iirc, Matt just gave the 'yes' to the scripts and did the VO
@TrixyTrixter and being the voice more than anyone (excep obviusly Matpat) iirc i hear her voice in style theory shorts many times
I was hoping that this would talk about the many issues that goes on with temu :(
For those ragging on her because she didn’t go into the dark side of temu remember this is her second video let her build her own audience. She will get to the dark side of fashion eventually but these episodes are meant to be jumping points so she can get her footing before covering heaver topics… let her stabilize and find her own rythm before we start getting upset.
Yes temu bad. Yes style SHOULD talk about it… but eventually… let her find her voice. Her own STYLE and let’s remember the rules of game theory and wait for her to grow and become someone we can trust.
… that or completely run this channel into the ground… either way we have to wait and see 🙃
Ps: i think she is doing a wonderful job so far one little misstep is FAR from pitchforks guys chill they have shown us they are concerned about the child labor before give them a chance.
i would never even think of shopping on temu as it is known to put spyware and malware on computers.
The irony of having incogni as a sponsor, when shopping on Temu, the spyware ecommerce site!
I hope you don't have a Facebook, Twitter, tiktok or CZcams account...cause they all grab your info and sell it.

@@everettjohnson9374 yo fun fact, every social media does tht
@@everettjohnson9374And how does that justify it? Instead of watching it happen passively maybe you should actually talk about what these companies are doing. If you continue not doing anything and brush it off, you only continue to let them exploit you, and make the problem worse because you literally normalize it, thus unknowingly justifying these companies actions in stealing your information.
You are part of the problem.

I avoid temu like the plague. I don't support sweat shop. I don't care how cheap they are. I would prefer to have less items in my home than support them
Exactly. I don't care about 'shopping like a billionaire' over human rights violations
Yeah temu is pretty bad, but sadly its all big companys that abuse bad labour practices. Honestly that's why I love thrift shops, since then I am not aupporting new clothes being made.

Temu and Shein. Evil companys. Got it. Also not worth it. Thank you Amy! You're doing fantastic.
Everything is evil
I'll honestly will never understand the insane success of Temu, Wish, etc. I've been below the poverty line for most of my life and have probably spent about 25% of my life sleeping on someone else's floor/couch or out on the streets, but I've always been able to find items in thrift stores that would last me for years. I'm currently wearing a super comfy and perfectly form fitting pair of slacks that I bought for $5.00 at a thrift store five years ago. They look super slick and professional and you would never know how old they are nor that they are second hand.
My mom entire wardrobe is thirft. . .admittedly my mom's idea of fashion is 'jeans and t-shirt' and it works for her. And you know what? If nothing else, its a grounds to START on the inexpensive end and work your way up. A little harder when you're in odd shapes/sizes but not impossible. Plateware/glasses are also in ready supply and various other household items you don't NEED new and can still create a comfortable atmosphere while remaining functional.
I definitely agree, and I hope you're doing better financially now.
They are great specially for countries that don't really have thrift stores or places like that.
Thrift stores are the best
We dont really have all that much thrift stores here, and the few we have are actually expensive because it's trendy to thrift

Not really.
If you watched the video there is literally nothing positive about it except for the way she's speaking and the table

Everything, but that one table, is described as being cheap, flimsy, and/or having a terrible smell.

As someone who makes her own Halloween costumes, my advice, don’t buy the first thing you see, shop around for the best deal!
Cheap Chinese child labor, truly the billionaire experience!
Could you please make a follow up about temu in terms of slavery and data collection. I'm afraid that fell a little short in that video and it was not really clear why you shouldn't order anything at temu at all
I was thinking this exact same thing
Because that would require a video all on its own, it's out of the scope of this video and would make it well over an hr long when it's better to just make a video just on that topic
That's not the point of this channel. This is a lifestyle/fashion channel. Many other media have already covered it. If you want a video on that, go to other channels.
@@user-vm8pr7wb9oWell, it may not be the Point of the video, it is the point of the channel though. Style Theory already discussed phenomena like fast fashion. Thinking about two videos on Shein on this channel. Don't get me wrong here. I like all the Theory Channels. This is not a "You're bad, cause you're hiding crimes"! That's why I asked for a Part Two. Because I know the Theorists are taking their responsibilities seriously. Still like the video itself. Have a nice day.
what about that has to do with style or fashion?
Etsy is not a drop shipping company. That is explicitly against their terms of service and they will shut down shops that are caught doing it. Some vintage reselling is allowed, but they are primarily a marketplace for homemade goods.
they say that, but that’s not what it is in actuality. sadly tons of stuff on etsy is not homemade stuff and sometimes it can be hard to tell/the shop purposely misleads you.
Yay! Supporting child labor…
Wait what
Potential Style Theory: with modern clothing creation methods, do you still need to separate your clothes for laundry purposes?
Part of why I propose this idea is because my partner and I haven't been doing that, and our clothes haven't had any issues.
Thank goodness, after Jon Tron I was so scared this was gonna be sponsored by Temu
The subtle genius of the Jontron vid tho was that no sane person who watched that would have any desire to shop at temu xP
@@lordyathnon I know but still feels scummy imo. Especially since shopping on it in of itself poses a security risk, so shopping on it for dumb stuff can be dangerous

Honestly he would probably slay it
While I think this video is interesting, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth seeing any money given to them 🤢
Same.
mine too
Same. These haul videos, even if the reviews are poor, are still giving attention to companies like Temu, Shien, and Wish. I was excited to see how the new Theorists would put together their material, but this video makes me apprehensive.

@Itz_fairyrosalynnxoxospamsss they did a shien video while Matt was still the host, and Matt is still part of theorists as advisor, likely still approved of this anyway
Beige living room segment feels like watching the backstory of a true crime episode. The dark grey warehouse walls really sell it.
Do they even know how billionaires shop? Most rarely shop for themselves. Unless it's a massive purchase like a yacht, or hypercar, then they may take a look themselves. Otherwise they have personal shoppers for everything.
The Style Theory identity theft victim arc is gonna go crazy
I'm not a fan of Temu because of the background things it does. My wife bought like, 2 things, and her credit card had a fraud purchase, and information stolen from her. Had to get a new card, but we worry about if there were more things that happened.
Weird, must have been from other places cause so far I've never had that issue. You need to be more on top of that kinda stuff and not just hand out your info
No need to victim blame...@@everettjohnson9374
@@everettjohnson9374also, using digital credit or debit cards helps, since using most websites to purchase risks your information anyway
honestly it feels weird and a bit wrong for style theory to be promoting Temu like this so much, considering Temu utilizes so much child labor, data collection, and is so awful for the environment. just cant get behind this episode.

Lol promoting? No. Calling it cheap? Yes. If you're afraid of someone stealing your info then don't use any form of social media and don't shop anywhere with a card.
@@everettjohnson9374 after this video i was considering buying a dress from temu, If i dindt know all the dats problems i probably would have. this video did not go into that
They are definitely not promoting it, they're just debunking the idea you can shop like a billionaire on temu
The other channels are doing well, even posting weekly...this one is getting left behind
Fun Fact: Style Theory Was Made In 2015 But Didn’t Upload Any Content Until 1 Year Ago
Don’t forget to mention temu stealing ur personal info
Like CZcams and Facebook? Guess you don't pick your battles wisely
@@everettjohnson9374 I don’t use Facebook, and CZcams from what i know doesn’t give your data to the government
Meanwhile temu steals your credit card information and gives everything to the Chinese government
The irony of getting a Temu ad on this video
It was of the tiny sticker printer
“Less than Claire’s” is absolutely savage 😂😂😂😂😂
did we really have to dedicate an episode to giving some props to sweatshop pushers?
I remember a friend telling me that "temu is a wish from wish"
no, it's the wish version of wish
@@Xeorboom I don't see much of a difference in what you are saying...
@@heyder9403 I guess not on second thought
@@Xeorboom It is too early to argue over temu...
Zuck wears Brunello Cucinelli? I wouldn't have ever known. I swear he looks like he gets his clothes at Old Navy 🤷🏽♀️
mankind really needs to discover second hand stores and thrift shops again
T-terrible quality
E-exactly what not to look for
M-manifesting poor children
U-unless you stop buying children has child labour
Feels like a dream feels like magic.
The enslavement of Uyghurs is tragic.
Lol fake news
@@everettjohnson9374 ¢50 army of CCP.
Ah yes, the episode that was shouldered on the backs of underpaid children, haven't we waited for this one?
Indeed!
Lol dramatic much?
How in the world is the first ad that I'm watching on my phone is a Temu ad now tell me how how ironic that is
After watching all 6 of those ads, and writing this entire script. She still doesn’t pronounce Temu correct 🗿
temu often changes how they pronounce it themselves (tee-moo vs. teh-moo]
oh my goodness, the dress is actually bad. You can see what she means by no cover on the back at 6:36. Literally strings!
One of the lyrics to that Temu ad was "All our wishes come true". Wishes, you say? Reminds me of another Chinese shopping site.
which one?
@@Xeorboomperhaps Wish
The only Billionaire you would be shopping like with Temu is Scrooge McDuck.
