    Wasn’t he already rich, though? Once you’re over, like, $10mm, you don’t really need to work anymore.

    And then when he took the money, I think he just squandered it on bullshit.

    If someone handed me 2 billion dollars I’d probably be building trains and houses, or maybe something for the climate crisis. Not jerking off alone in a house full of candy. He’s a shithead failure of a human, if that’s all he’s done.

      As a millionaire i would definitely accept an offer to become a billionaire. When you already have enough for a carefree life, money becomes power instead and then you can exert your will on the world. I can definitely see how that is really tantalizing, especially nowadays where virtually everyone has an unspecified feeling of being powerless against the system.
