Daymond John Says Billionaires Contribute to Society, Silly to Get Rid of Them

Daymond John’s coming in hot for the “eat the rich” crowd … unloading on “TMZ Live” and insisting the ultra-wealthy are keeping the world turning, not tearing it apart!

The “Shark Tank” mogul told us Friday billionaires aren’t the villains … going on to list facts and figures on how they’re constantly giving away so much $$$, while also creating jobs, building hospitals, and pouring money back into the economy, while critics just sit around and talk.

When Harvey pushed back — pointing out TMZ’s Gen Z staff is all in on wealth distribution amid the income disparity convo, and rooting for Zohran Mamdani’s call for change in NYC — Daymond didn’t miss a beat. He clapped back, telling them to go work for the government … before pointing out those same employees aren’t even getting paid right now thanks to the shutdown … though we’re not sure how that binary choice proves the point.

You gotta catch the clip ’cause Daymond really lets loose — saying no business owner in their right mind would ever turn down millions of dollars of income for their company … and he says all those loud critics would go radio silent the second they hit billionaire status themselves, somehow.
