Also a question, what do you guys think about insanely rich people in the world?
Some people hate, some people admire. I stand somewhere in the middle.
People say 'they deserved it, they worked their ass off entire life'. Well, hard to argue with that. If you, me had billions, we would also feel good knowing that our hard work paid out.
What I don't understand however is what's the point hoarding all this wealth, when you not even using it? Means either spending, investing or giving away. I know, I know, its their money, they can do whatever they want to do, if they want to sleep on it, that's fine.
I am type of person that never collected things, I don't like collecting. Whenever I had some money, I put them to use. I don't even have saving account to begin with. I work for my money and I spend them. If I woke up tomorrow with $50 bils in bank account, 80% of it would be gone within 5 years. Personally I feel giving some small amount of money away in form of charities its a complete waste, but instead I would love to join other billionaires and use those money on some joint projects which could change people lives across the world, whether eradicate hunger or place millions of wind turbines across the world. Something significant where majority will benefit, not just single units.
The wealth this guys got can be put to use and change people lives, those are not peanuts guys. This is serious cash able to change the world. But instead its rotting on rich bank accounts just for the pleasure of seeing big numbers.
This is what I think about it.
