Atlanta’s favorite trio of billionaire brothers are stepping up their humanizing qualities, with two of the three making a transatlantic trip to their mining operations in South Africa mid-week.
It is reported that Payton and Zander Olsen toured the facility and the open portion of the mines, helping clear rubble (shock!), and visiting the injured workers still in hospital after the devastating mine collapse that occurred a week ago.
This is the first time the brothers have made a point to provide assistance in person or show up for more than a shareholder meeting or corporate takeover.
They typically stay at the top of their skyscraper, far away from the huddled masses who do their bidding.
Could this trip mark a turning point in the Olympus agenda?
We don’t think so. Judging by a long string of past activities, the brothers are playing a game of just showing us what we want to see after receiving harsh criticism from the public as of late. They’ll have to do more than one trip to a now-closed mine to change our minds.
Olympus International holdings all over the world have come under scrutiny for allegedly horrible working conditions, outdated or nonexistent safety equipment and procedures, and industry-wide low wages for the workers doing the back-breaking labor that makes the brothers rich.
This may be the first industrial accident that has made headlines, but it’s likely not the only one to ever occur at an Olympus-held entity.
You know we will be digging through their dirt and finding what secrets they are hiding, or seeing just how deep the rot goes.
Where was big brother Hayes while Payton and Zander were on a humanitarian mission?
He was spotted out on the town with his lady love, Paige Fairchild, rather than crossing oceans with his brothers.
The pair were seen dining—ahem, canoodling—at trendy hot spot, Rare, and eating street food for dessert after.
Is that a dig on the fare at Rare, or just a penchant for a good dessert?
It made our cold little hearts happy to see the love birds reunited and back to their PDA-filled outings around Atlanta.
Maybe the eldest Olsen is learning that your significant other should be placed before business, and that’s why he didn’t make the trip with his brothers.
What forced the newlyweds apart for over a week prior to this randy reunion?
We’re still stumped on that, but happy nonetheless that our favorite It Couple is back in the arms of Atlanta again.
