I have no interest in that kind of money (and heck, I'm not the life and soul of the party either), but if I /did/ have that kind of money, every day would be absolutely frickin' hilarious. In my head, it'd be like KLF media stunt day. Without the boundaries 🤪

I think the only way to get that kind of money (other than inheriting it or getting it in a divorce settlement, or something) is to be a humorless, money-driven monomaniac. It's basically a personality disorder, but our society celebrates it instead of treating it as a serious problem, both for the sufferer and society as a whole.

Alan Langford 🇨🇦🧤🧊摏@VATVSLPR @clanger9 Back in the early days of Microsoft, there were a lot of folks who got in early, saw their stocks make them rich, cashed out and retired early (we called them Microsoft Millionaires), used the money to build a nice house and then sit on the rest of the cash, living off the interest, slowly working the principal down. At the time their wisdom eluded me.
So it's possible without being obsessive, but we never hear about them.

Those people aren't billionaires, though, which is exactly the point. People who want to do fun things with their money tend to stop obsessively accumulating more when they get enough to do whatever it is they think of as fun. It's only people who think getting the money is the interesting part who keep grinding for more when they already have way more than they and their descendants will ever need.

neotoy@VATVSLPR @alan @clanger9 I would argue that trying to "understand" billionaires in the conventional sense is futile. These are people with a severe and exotic mental illness that society largely refuses to address or treat because capitalism relentlessly and forcibly conditions people to view limitless currency accumulation as unconditionally good and healthy.
