Fancy cupcakes are 70% icing, really not that nice and a waste of money

    All billionaires are evil people that decide to accumulate wealth instead of distributing the surplus and living off enough to not have to worry about the future. All. Of. Them.

    Yes, even Taylor Swift and Gabe Newell. They have enough money that they could set 100m aside, live off that and charge break-even prices for their products so more people could enjoy them or they could charge the same thing and redirect their share of the profits into charities, they choose not to.

      You are completely correct. There are so many exits before becoming a billionaire that any normal person would take.

      Once you have millions you can live comfortable. Tens of millions and you’re set for life, you can live in luxury without ever doing another day’s work.

      Hundreds of millions and you can buy anything you ever want or need. The only reason to continue accumulating money is because you get some fucked up pleasure from it.

      You can claim you “earned it” through “working hard” but it’s a pathetic assertion. The simple fact is money is only gained at the expense of others.
