Who of the billionaire (and now trillionaires, sigh) fucknuggets does not want to rule the world?
What else should one do if one already has everything and can't buy anything else...
A trillionaire sounds surreal. Imagine having an entire country economy (or a few smaller ones) as your budget.
Indeed. When I was young, a millionaire seemed rich. As I grew older, billionaires seemed rich. And now we're one step further. The average millionaire is further away from musk than the average Joe from said millionaire.
It's absurd and shouldn't be possible. Billionaires also shouldn't. Why would anyone even need hundreds of millions. You can live wonderfully with very few millions or even less than one.
MILLIONiares have to at least invest thier time, or money, job to get much. its the 10s-100s millionaires that are born wealthy+ billionaires. most of them, surprise dont really have much of job/or direction, thats where all the influencers(youtube,,,,etc) came from(most of them). even the humble ones can let money get to thier heads.
Aye. If not inherited then it's basically a fuckton of coincidences paired with incredible luck. Which they, in hindsight, call "hard work". Which basically was the same work everyone else did, but they weren't lucky. See YouTube. Millions try hard (for nothing) and a handful make big bucks. So I'm told, never used YouTube, I hate google 😁
But also yes. I rarely met a millionaire that wasn't some prick loving their own farts and bragging as hard as they could. I don't know why everyone wants to be so much "better" than everyone else. If you'd see me, my cars or my houses, you'd never ever guess the numbers in my bankaccounts.
