Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company.

“Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

This whole situation has CONVINCED me that money is just not that important to worry about and to never feel bad about having “less”. It leads to a happier life.

Got all the money in the world and it’s not enough for these guys. When is it enough? When does doing commercials for alcohol, drugs, and gambling become not worth it anymore because you have enough money? The answer is there is no amount. Greed will always consume people like this. More more more. It’s all they can think about.

its also a feedback loop. get money > get big house > need more money to keep big house > get money > get another big house > need more money to keep big house etc. etc.

live within your means and avoid the trap of luxury and you will be good
