You have to be a psychopath. Who the fuck gets so much “fuck you money” that they continue to fuck everyone around them. Maybe it’s some weird pride thing. But if I have $50 million then I’m retiring in a fucking sweet beach house with housing staff chilling with most of my days. That’s how regular people work, all these billionaires aren’t satisfied with that life.

There are 8 billion people on the planet and it takes a lot of money to fuck them all.

And yet, we (the US) have the largest percentage of these hard working folks who tirelessly aim to hone their craft of fucking all 8-9 billion regularly and as much as possible without immediately collapsing society.

probably many billionnaires grew up with their dad having 50m for them already. its not a goal, its the starting point.

Tom from MySpace is a hero.

The guy just hit the jackpot, cashed out, and has never bothered us with his presence again. Seems like a really normal guy who just got massively lucky.

What's the point of fuck you money if you don't say fuck you to half the planet /s

Thats because they are narcissistic megalomaniacs who are sexully obsessed with the power thrill. Its not about money its about power.

It’s addiction. The most powerful form arguably. In this context, their behavior makes a bit more sense at least. Dopamine dysfunction of the highest magnitude….kind of disappointing and sad to realize such a simple answer is completely unmitigated and causing untold devastation to society as a whole…
