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

    I don’t see why extreme wealth isn’t classified as a mental illness like hoarding.

      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.

          A million heartbeats is 10 days. A billion is 27 years

            That’s going to change a lot from person to person
