If I were the richest man on earth, I don't know what kind of person I would be, but I sure as hell wouldn't be a whiny little fuck
And that's why you'd never be the richest person. Think about the qualities that lead one to become the richest person on earth. Really think about what that title represents. It's an unfathomable amount of wealth. Any sane, compassionate person would have funneled that into charity work and the well-being of others.
You see what I'm getting at?
Or they’d invest, retiring while traveling and living off the dividends. It’s a sickness.
If you’re rich you can both invest, retire, travel, live off dividends AND donate your money and support the well being of others.
You can do that with like, 10 million usd or even less (1% yearly interest means 100k usd a year), and still have money left over to donate
Musk has about 30 000x that
Yes. We are saying the same thing.
Nah, that's bullshit. You're no fucking saint. The problem with billionaires is you cant possibly live a normal life once you get there. That kind of power corrupts your thoughts, actions, and importantly the way every single person you ever interact with behaves.
If you become a billionaire I'm coming for you.
