And that's why you'd never be the richest person. Think about the qualities that lead one to become the richest person on earth. Really think about what that title represents. It's an unfathomable amount of wealth. Any sane, compassionate person would have funneled that into charity work and the well-being of others.

You see what I'm getting at?

Or they’d invest, retiring while traveling and living off the dividends. It’s a sickness.

If you’re rich you can both invest, retire, travel, live off dividends AND donate your money and support the well being of others.

You can do that with like, 10 million usd or even less (1% yearly interest means 100k usd a year), and still have money left over to donate

Musk has about 30 000x that
