Wait, do people actually think these billionaires are _wise_? They look absolute fools to me. Their status is a result of luck (and a in a lot of cases, no obligation to morality).
To become wise, not to become rich or famous. Elon Musk is obviously an extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and capable man, but I don't think he's necessarily very wise.
Read to the end of the list. /smh
They didn’t do the maximum, because they didn’t die from working. So there must be some restraint. Even if they look supersonic from our perspective.
They are certainly incredibly productive and I admire all of them for different reasons, but are they wise?
Or (in my humble opinion, a more important question), happy…?
