Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000".

Imagine being that rich and spending the limited time you have on Earth actively trying to make more money. It's absolutely mental illness!
You're viewing a single thread.
I don’t see why extreme wealth isn’t classified as a mental illness like hoarding.
If we see a street lady collecting a hundred cats to horde, we call her crazy.
When we see someone hording so much wealth that they could never reasonably ever spend all that money in a lifetime ... we put them on the cover of a magazine.
spend all that money in a lifetime
In thousands of lifetimes. 1,000,000 per year is a stupid amount of money to live on. If you "only" spent $1,000,000 a year you could live on 250billion for 250,000 years. That isn't including any interest accrued.
People constantly underestimate how large a billion actually is.
The difference between a million and a billion dollars is approximately 1 billion dollars
A million heartbeats is 10 days. A billion is 27 years
That's going to change a lot from person to person
Edit. Lol downvoting facts. Feels like reddit here. Congratulations!
Maybe billionaires just have faster heart rates
it may be more than someone can reasonably spend, but someone can unreasonably spend it with some effort
It’s more like narcissism, psychopathy, etc. The constant need to be better than others and worshipped for it.
Nobody gets that much wealth without Psychopathy.
