    It’s insane. Other than money-spending contests to see who has the biggest paper wad, what could a human, personally, possibly get out of a net worth over 9 digits? What is missing from their life at $100,000,000 that they have at $1,000,000,000? 100 mil is a penthouse in New York City, a dozen vacation homes in a dozen countries, a private jet, and enough money left over that sitting in the fucking bank and making interest (even excluding more profitable passive uses of such a fortune) would give you another million every year to fritter the fuck away.

    Why are they so determined to hang onto being billionaires?

    I just don’t understand these fuckers.

      It’s a pissing contest who can be the richest.

      And power goes to the head.

      Power. It’s the power to manipulate whole countries through bribes, propaganda, and just outright owning large chunks of the economy.
