    It’s likely the same as corporations.

    Once they get so much money, they focus on quarterly profits. Then you compare percentage change from last quarter/month.

    So he just doesn’t think about the billions he has banked.

    Or the multimillions he makes a year

    It’s a small percentage of change, and making 90 million after 100 million can be viewed as losing money this way, which makes these fucking psychopaths believe they need to be even shittier to make more money.

    He’s not looking at his wealth, but at the rate he’s accumulating it, even though he literally can’t spend what he has now if he tried.

      I could spend it on creating positive change in the world, but nah; better for the corporations to have it I’m sure.

      This is more likely the case. I’m in operations management and it’s truly a game for us. Addicting like sports.

      Another thing with corporations (afaik) is that they’re obligated to make more money quarter over quarter because of shareholders. Big number must go up at all costs.
