Imagine being that rich and spending the limited time you have on Earth actively trying to make more money. It’s absolutely mental illness!

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

      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 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.

        People constantly underestimate how large a billion actually is.
