    Yeah... Honestly... 9 million should give you plenty to live comfortably off the interest the rest your life and keep up with inflation.

    At least, it would if you had a decent social safety net... I could see a couple of family members with bad cancers wiping somebody out pretty quickly. Or at least destroying their ability to retire.

    How many people here have known or met and spoke with a billionaire at length?
    The level of supposed knowledge of how they work here is off the charts. Lol.

    What I do know is they live in a different world than us commoners and we couldn't begin to fathom the day to day things they do or think.

    But keep on talking like yall know everything about them and how evil they all are….

    talk about cringe….

    I don't claim to know how billionaires live. But I do know evil when I see it.

    It's not even that they are evil that gets me. It's just an inefficient and counterproductive allocation of resources for society.

    If the rules were set up so it was more advantatious for them to invest that money in their employees and the long-term viability of their companies society would be better off.

    And it's not just billionaires.

    I have sat in meetings with 3 billionaires and they paid for lunch, so I got no ill will aimed at them.

    At those 3 particularly? Or at all billionaires because of the 3 which bought you a lunch worth approximately <=.000002% of their net worth?

    It's kind of cheap that three freaking billionaires had to split your lunch three ways. I think this proves the point that they are in fact evil...

    I have.

    They aren't a different species. They put their pants on 1 peg at a time, just like the rest of us.

    Taylor Swift paid her crew something like $100 million in bonuses from Eras your but she's an exception.
