Losing your job, shame from your family, confusion in relationships, new opportunities. These are all issues one may face during the course of their life, and these are all the reasons why there is a part of Justin Ross Lee in every one of us.
As we walked into the Carnegie Club we saw Justin, accompanied by his friend and personal suit maker, Doug Rosenblum, sitting at the long bar. The atmosphere was as stuffy as we expected Justin's attitude to be. The smoke-filled bar, adorned with bookshelves reminiscent of an antique men's club seemed to be the perfect "F*ck You" environment to conduct the interview. Justin greeted us with a cigar in one hand and a cocktail in the other and led us over to the table surrounded by upholstered couches. As we walked over, we wondered if he would be the ostentatious, pompous jerk many of you have claimed him to be. To our surprise, and probably many of yours, he was anything but.
So many of us are wondering, how did this all start? How does Justin live the life of a pompous a-hole that monopolizes so much of our readers free time on facebook?. What is it about him that makes him able to get away with acting the way he does? (no, it's not his Daddy's wallet) Is he not worried about finding a job in this declining economy? Well readers, Justin Ross Lee is over being a slave to the economy. While many twenty-somethings are begging for jobs, Justin sees this as “an opportunity to be himself.” After he was fired from his prestigious job just 2 weeks after starting (yep, you guessed it, due to his excessive facebook activity) he was shamed by his family and told to “quiet down”, making this his last resort. Justin explained, “Few people fit under the corporate umbrella, this is a chance for me to be who I am. It allowed me to stop pretending, be yourself, as unmarketable as it may be." However, it does seem as though JRL is moving in the corporate direction with the launching of YidLee Productions LLC, and the future launch of his fashion accessories line with his girlfriend, Ali Greenberg. By “branding myself, I'm getting out of the economy. I am boycotting the market by not working. I'm vocationally defied, not un-employed." So far he has not made any money doing what he does but he has definitely generated interest, simply stating “I have invested in myself.” That brings us to the question burning in all of your minds, where exactly does all this money come from? His parents? Well, not exactly. "My parents haven't given me a dime since I graduated. There is no trust fund. The only fund I'm involved in has very little trust". Justin, like many others his age has been living off savings and credit cards but prefers living lavishly over modestly. He hopes to one day be in the same ball park as today's highrollers such as Joe and George Maloof, owners of the Sacramento Kings and The Palms hotel and casino in Vegas. In a conversation about the Maloof brothers excessive spending habits, Justin added " One day, I hope I am at the level of George Maloof and can buy girls diamond necklaces. Right now, I give pearl necklaces and I'm not talking Mikimoto."

Thats it? Really? All this anticipation I was expecting more... Yawn.
agreed...not impressive or revealing whatsoever
Isn't this just the first part? Im sure there is more. Plus the quotes are pretty funny.
I don't believe that he's not a real prick in person.
Lets just all face the simple fact, the kid is funny because without humor, he has nothing but a huge nose and bank account to cover up his flaws. and I'd love to see how he doesn't get money from his parents but has Hermes belts in an assortment of colors. Truth is, sure I look and hate, but only cause I feel almost bad two ugly people need soo much money to make themselves look halfway decent. Let's all admit, Ms. Greenberg was quite the mess and just part of the rif-raf before she met JLee.
Its great that he has such quirky tags and videos, but really if any individual had the luxury to sit at home 24/7 doing absolutely nothing, they could come up with the same bs.
this article would have been much better if you would have just let JRL write 400 words...
So... I don't by that there isn't a trust fund or that its not from Daddys wallet. Who spends tens of thousands a month with no job and no money from mommy and daddy?
""Justin, like many others his age has been living off savings and credit cards but prefers living lavishly over modestly""
Please... If this isn't coming from mommy and daddy; he either has 250K in debt or mommy and daddy gave him the 250K before he graduated. No one spends tens of thousands a month (with no job) without being a bratty little jap.
If you have opinions about the writers of the blog, feel free to email us. We will not publish comments that say false or degrading statements about us. You are obviously reading the blog for a reason, and if you have negative feeling's on us- please stop reading!

Ahhhh Haters gather around.
We can speculate all day to where his funding comes from, the markings on his bills, and where the comma rests on his statements and invoices. The point is, a forensic CPA would have great difficulty figuring out the innerworkings of JRL. [Let alone some 'anonymous' chap who doesn't "BUY" not "by" ... that there isn't a trust fund.]
So if his vocation is to entertain (and you're commenting on here), he's probably got more job security than you do right now.
"if any individual had the luxury to sit at home 24/7 doing absolutely nothing, they could come up with the same bs"
??!!
Doesn't look like he sits at home 24/7. The pictures don't look like backdrops. When he's not on vacation every 3 weeks, he's running around having a "powermeal" at Bagatelle or drinking at a "fuck you" table in a Manhattan club. The same club that you'd probably door-name-drop 'JRL', just to get in.
"without being a bratty little jap." ?
Since when is he Japanese? Have you even met the Superjew?
WHERE IS PART 2 ?!?
yawwwwwww
LOL, this dweeb lives in lala land. Justin, we're not stupid like you... we don't believe that you don't get money from your daddy or that you're setting pace to get anywhere in life. Feel free to chauffeur me and my family around when you grow up.
Shouldn't the name of this blog be "As Good As Its Guests"? The current name has "It's", which means "As Good As It Is Guests", which doesn't make much sense. Other than that, keep up the good work. Very entertaining stuff.
"Anonymous": You're quick to pull the trigger, but I've met JRL. Hysterical to say the least. When have YOU done anything the slightest bit entertaining that would warrant or elicit several blogs, a news article or any discussion for that matter. And even if his father did gave him money, so what? Mine still helps me out with my outrageous rent. Trust he won't be driving you anywhere other than to a therapist to discuss extreme feelings jealousy.
