    If billionaires limited themselves to only being fabulously wealthy and living in exorbitant luxury, they’d never be billionaires

    …because you only really need to have 100 million dollars or something like that at most for life-long disgusting levels of luxury, anything more is just showing off

    In fact, I’d even argue that 10 million usd is more than enough for living a stress-free luxurious life without needing to work a single more day in your life

      100 mill is chump change anymore. USD might as well be pesos the way the tax and spend GOP handles things.

      100 mil buys a very medicore doomsday bunker. 500 mil in 2024 is the new 100 mil from 2018.

      If I try to imagine my life where I had $100 million and the best thing I could find to do with my time— given that just about everything would be within my budget — was to work long hours and try to raise thar number… it just seems sad.

      That’s the exact kind of go-getter a lot of society has told me is the person I should want to be too. Gross.
