he is talking about their worth.
I am surprised that this confab hasn't been busted long ago, on antitrust grounds.
In this day and age, this type of gazillionaires' ball doesn't somehow quite seem apropos (The same goes for Davos). As an aside, I salute Elon musk for not bothering with this kind of stuff.

The power in $$$ is vastly more important in today’s world than being attractive.
Apple CEO Tim Cook is attending the Sun Valley Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho this week alongside many high-profile guests, including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, according to NPR. Described as a "summer camp for billionaires," the annual media conference is hosted by private investment firm Allen & Company and allows media and tech moguls to negotiate deals in between leisure activities such as golfing and whitewater rafting.

Variety previously revealed the guest list for this year's conference. In addition to Cook and Zuckerberg, notable invitees included billionaire investor Warren Buffett, Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, ViacomCBS chairman Shari Redstone, "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan, Dell CEO Michael Dell, and others. However, the report noted that not everyone on the guest list chooses to attend.
After being canceled last year due to the pandemic, the Sun Valley Conference returns this year with health and safety measures in place, with attendees required to present a negative PCR test result obtained within 72 hours prior to arrival, according to Vanity Fair. The report added that many presentations and events will take place outdoors.
Cook has attended the Sun Valley Conference multiple times, often alongside Apple's services chief Eddy Cue. While details are typically kept under wraps, it was recently reported that during a private meeting at the conference in 2019, Cook urged Zuckerberg to delete all user information Facebook had collected from third-party apps.
With so many media executives gathering in one place, the Sun Valley Conference likely provides Cook with an opportunity to negotiate Apple TV+ content deals. Should any details emerge from this year's conference, we will share them.

This MUST be an old photo of Cook, looking pretty scrawny there - not as buff as his recent WWDC'21 we've seen.
Still I find the article and situation hilarious that billionaires, CEO's of companies NEED to goto 'Camp' lol. That word should not be used as it's not a camp at all. Still maybe 2021 this conference attendance may NOT have been a sound move by Cook.

I hope this will not end like the theatre scene in the movie Inglorious Basterds

Not the most flattering photo of Mr. Tim Cook. It looks like an inmate being escorted by a special agent.
It's what THEY'RE planning for us to do with our time, or what they are planning to have done to us, that concerns some of us.
Thank you! When I posted this I became self conscious that I was too old for this forum or something, that people wouldn't remember this show!
Love, 'Cheers' and 'Frasier' and give it a round every few years. Just watching the movie, 'VFW' on AMC and guess who is sitting at the end of the bar? George Wendt as Thomas Zabriski. Script Writer should have named him, Norman Pedders as an Easter egg for Cheers fans.

Both are great but I give the edge to Frasier for fantastic writing and performances.
