He sells a running shoe. A shoe folks. Now he thinks he has the ability to shape the worlds future because of all the money he made exploiting the producers of the shoes and gouging the customers of the shoe. What a fucking stretch. What is with these "too much money" guys?
They have severe OCD Hoarding Disorder, and they have a serious compulsion to hoard money, even when they have far more than they or their descendents can ever spend.
If this was someone hoarding anything else at that level, cats, rusty cars, newspapers, junk, etc., the government would step in, remove their treasure, and get that person the mental help they require. We should do the same with Financial Hoarders - detain them and get them the mental health care they require, and remove their hoard that is making life difficult for their neighbors. If they were hoarding cats, we'd put them up for adoption, so their financial hoard should be redistributed to the citizens.
