James Jean is a Taiwanese artist who got fucked over in a divorce where his wife refuses to settle and her lawyers lay claim that she owns 50% of everything he ever made. It pretty much ruined him for years.

This is a guy who is so famous as an artist he did the most recent Linkin Park album cover.

His artwork is all over their website, yet he's broke.

Here are some quotes in a more digestible version.

James Jean leaves U.S. angry and broke, reemerges in Asia poor and happy

She can't take anything from him if he has nothing. 50% of zero is zero. Everything he does now is living on subsistence and barter.

The point is that he had the means to leave the country and still has the means to support himself. He's able to start over and reboot, even if that means doing so on a much smaller scale. If the alimony/divorce laws are such in this country that one must leave in order to actually have "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," then clearly men must have some sort of escape plan if they choose to marry.

How sad is it that some guys have to start over in another country? What about the poor bastards still in the US who can never retire because they got stuck with permanent alimony? Their slavery only ends in death.

As an artist myself, it sickens me that his gift fuels his wife's addictions. Imagine being able to describe someone you once loved as a 'cancer.'

There's no question, James Jean chose poorly when it came to choosing a mate, and her lawyers can smell money and blood in the water.

In the context of TRP, he reads very BP. A RedPill would never marry such a damaged woman with so many red flags, but a lot of white knights are looking to rescue/fix that damsel in distress. I don't know him personally, so I can't say that he's gone from BP to RP, but I hope he's on his way.

It's interesting to note that at the height of his fame/wealth he was miserable and now he's happier having nothing.
