You say this, but you point at evidence saying the opposite.

And in fact, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, the Waltons and all the people who have been populating the Forbes rich list for the last 30 years...they don't look happy.

They seem rather dull and desensitised to anything. Very robotic.

Very similar to the British royals and European old money.

They live in fear of losing their money and relevance instead of having the confidence to double down on their bets and hit yet another home run.

If you look at billionaires then it's pretty easy to pick the ones you'd want to be: Mark Cuban, Donald Trump, Rihanna, Cristiano Ronaldo....etc

Those type of billionaries who are big spenders and also continiously betting on themselves are the type of billionaires also good for society because they make the economy go around and their projects are cash cows for other entrepreneurs looking for easy oversells.

Can't imagine living in fear like Gates, the Waltons and Warren Buffett, they aren't human.
