Call me medieval, but I don't understand these people... If I somehow had a ploy to make that kind of money in one shot I'd make like a bandit and vanish... Then retire. That kind of money is never work again money. I could retire at 30 and die in my 80s a rich man.
Have you ever heard of the word greed.
Do you realize how much a private jet costs?
Cause you're thinking like an unhappy poor person. Not like someone who has the entire world at their disposal to consume and exploit.
This is absolutely right. Money to them isnt a tool for comfort and happiness, its simply a byproduct of power and exploitation of that power. These people dont want to be able to go into a bar and buy anything they want, they want to go into the bar and buy the whole thing and the street its on. Youre the consumer just wanting enough grass to munch on, they are the predator plotting behind you.
See and that is why I almost pitty such people. They never learned how to be a normal person. How to be satisfied with what you have. But I did say almost. Cause they make the world a shithole for the rest of us.
But that woman in the photo looks like she loves her job & loves the tech industry, she will show up gladly every day and do whatever it is she does to earn that 30 million per year. In fact she would probably show up gladly every day and do her work regardless of how much they pay her, which makes me wonder why they're even paying her at all, we don't get paid to do things we're good at & enjoy!
