Comment on 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".

  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.

  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.

    it may be more than someone can reasonably spend, but someone can unreasonably spend it with some effort

    spend all that money in a lifetime

    In hundreds of 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.

      The difference between a million and a billion dollars is approximately 1 billion dollars
