How nice, live as the 0.0000001% that owns the world and make up most of the big evils in the world from the age of 34 to the age of 70 and then from 70 to 90 transition to the top 0.0001% and “not die rich”
A real sacrifice, what a philanthropist, brave.
I’m just here being a top 25% fully aware of my privilege for being born in a rich country and working in a well paying job, and I still donate more then him in terms of percentage of my net worth. (Bill gates donates about 0.8-1.6% of his net worth annually, I donate about 5-10% annually) and I truly believe that no one should be a billionaire.

Assuming they meant in their country, and that their country is USA, bottom 10% as of 2023 was $15-18K. dqydj.com/2023-income-percentile-calculator/
