    I literally said “Woah” out loud when I read the part where this isn’t the first time this guy has been fined on this scale for speeding. Totaling nearly 280k euros over the past 10 years! Seems like a perfectly fair price to pay for the obscenely wealthy – we know just how exponentially much more money the richest have compared to everyone else.

      i definitely think you have a good policy on your hands when a rich guy is like “i hope all the money i’ve been fined can help patch a hole in the budget”, lol

      Wiklöf says he hopes the fine will be used positively.

      “I have heard that they are going to save one and a half billion on healthcare in Finland, so I hope that the money can fill a gap there,” said Wiklöf.
