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".

  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 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

  It’s more like narcissism, psychopathy, etc. The constant need to be better than others and worshipped for it.
