In many societies, it’s a common sight to see individuals who have attained fame boasting, especially on social media.
While bragging and flaunting wealth are prevalent on social media, it’s remarkable how some social media Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk maintain a low profile while the users of their platforms showcase their achievements.
