They should get therapy rite?
I can't remember where I heard this but apparently there are therapists for very rich people.
The therapist was on a podcast I think and discussing what they talk about.
Basically all rich people fear not having enough money. No matter how rich they get, they fear and obsess over not having enough money.
I thought it was interesting. These are people richer than God and they always want more.
A single million could really change someone's life. Just one million.
With all of my expenses tallied up, for 15 years, I'm covered worry-free and all I'd need is at least $500k. That's it. Another half of that, make it 30 years.
These rich people, having billions at their command, are set for like twenty lifetimes over.
Their children’s children’s children will be unimaginably wealthy. There is no need for any one person to have that much. We're supposed to be in space ships exploring the galaxy, not lining up to work ourselves to death so some mentally unstable chode’s great-great-grandkids can go to an Ivy League school.
One million invested to the stock market pays you on average 70k a year in interests. Now imagine having a billion on the stock market.
Almost all the world could live anywhere from insanely comfortable to fairly comfortable with $70k/yr
I get your point and hate to be overly pedantic but even a billionaire with “only” one billion dollars, using the most conservative investment strategy would literally have enough money for 200 people to earn $200,000/year forever.
Assuming you pull a salary for 60 years you could earn $100,000/yr for over 150 lifetimes with literally just one billion dollars.
If this is true, why then do they need to buy super ultra giant mega-yachts, private jets, mansions, islands, etc?
If you are worried about running out of money, you should be living a very meager and humble life. Is that what their therapist tells them, as part of their therapy?
I think they are more worried about running out of asshole.
Taking someone out on your yacht to finish a business deal is extremely common.
Like a Hollywood supervillains. Sounds like a cry for ~~Luigi~~ help to me
They take that as "hoard more money yes yes"
