A millionaire snatches a gift from a boy right in front of him. However, he finds his action perfectly fine and thinks others should not get so upset. For the boy who ended up empty-handed, at least there is a happy ending.
Our cover image is a symbolic image and does not depict the boy in question.
What exactly happened? Tennis player Kamil Majchrzak wanted to give a boy in the audience his hat. But the hat never reaches the boy, as a Polish millionaire and CEO snatched the hat meant for the child right in front of him. This was reported, among others, by the English-language magazine Dexerto.com.
The whole incident was recorded by a camera and went viral: Within a short time, the clip on X.com was viewed millions of times and caused an uproar in the community, which criticized the CEO for behaving so unfriendly. Eventually, even the tennis player who had given away his hat became aware of the incident.
How did it end? The tennis player saw what had happened, reached out to the child directly, gifted him a signed hat, and met with him personally.
Later, the player published the meeting on Instagram and showed that he had finally passed the hat to the person it was meant for.
The CEO defends his actions: “First come, first served”
The Polish CEO defended against accusations that he had stolen the hat from the boy. Instead of apologizing for his reaction, which many considered inappropriate, he explained that he was simply faster. Moreover, he stated that it was just a hat, and there should be no scandal over it. His statement can be found in Polish on the platform GoWork.pl
The recent incident at the tennis match has led to an outpouring of outrage on the internet. Of course, it’s about the famous hat. Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I always say: First come, first served.
I understand that some people may not like that, but let’s not make a global scandal out of the hat. It’s just a hat. If you had been faster, you would have it. Regarding the hate on the internet, I would like to remind you that insulting a public figure is criminal. All offensive comments, slander, and insinuations will be reviewed for the possibility of prosecution.
His reaction has further consequences: Hundreds of people criticized his statement and insulted the CEO. Additionally, the company’s rating on Gowork, a platform for business reviews, dropped to 1.4 out of 5 points: Since it became known who the CEO is, the company has been bombarded with thousands of negative reviews.
Other CEOs haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory either: The head of a company that produces custom gaming PCs, Noah Katz, made a disastrous appearance on Twitch, and after that, everything went downhill. Sponsors pulled out, the reputation was ruined, and now the closure of the company is announced. Apparently, there is no money left to maintain operations: In 59 terrible seconds on Twitch, a CEO destroys everything – Gaming PC company must now close
