I see. It's just so easy to get to a few million dollars of wealth over time if somebody's good enough to get to a big company and invest with a healthy diversification.

I really don't understand why people are risking that to be a billionaire with a small probability, when the difference in the lifestyle that that money allows is probably not that big.

I'm sure it's cool to be a billionaire for some time, but also it probably wears out quite fast when you get back to work.
