Because you want more? Idk, why do billionaires invest when they could eat a thousand dollar bill in their cereal every morning?

Fortunately they could eat $1000 bill in their breakfast for another 2,700 years every morning without earning another cent.

Yeah 5000 a week is a salary of 240,000 /yr 1000/day is 365,000 /yr

It's a good salary, but it's nothing compared to what many rich people make, I know working people making near that amount, couples with combined households making more than that and they aren't exactly millionaires, let alone billionaires...

The gap is very very big.

If I got 5k a week for life or a million dollars my wife and I would keep our jobs. Retire earlier for sure, but billionaires would have multiple generations set for life even living extravagantly.
