I can’t imagine being able to travel the world at my leisure eating the finest foods mankind has to offer and saving millions of lives through charitable donations and yet wasting my life, money, and time picking losing fights with governments while defending indefensible shitbags on the internet.
Must just be something about billionaires I don’t understand 🤷♂️
If you want to understand billionaires, just go through this mental exercise.
You’re handed a million dollars today. You have to spend it all in a day; you can’t carry it forward. (And no charity donations for this mental exercise!) Easy, right? There’s things you want. A fancy house. A fancy car. Pay down all your debts. Anybody could spend a million dollars in a day.
Tomorrow you get another million. You have to spend it all in a day. Still possible.
And the next day and the next day and the next day. Every day you have to spend a million dollars. You’re beginning to run out of things to spend it on. Most people would run out of ideas after 30 days. You’re doing stupid things now like buying an “ultra-rare” collectible that will just go into a vault with all your other “ultra-rare” collectibles never to see the light of day. You’re just out of ideas.
But the money keeps coming in. Day after day. A million bucks. You have to spend it. For almost two years and nine months.
That’s a billion dollars. Nearly three years of spending a million bucks daily. Spending a ludicrous amount of money daily, it still takes you almost three years to get through it all.
A billionaire is a person who thinks that isn’t enough.
Does that give you some insight into what a billionaire is?
