Anyone who says the rich deserve to BE rich because they are "clever businessmen" need to repeatedly kicked in the balls.
Most folks could live comfortably for the rest of their lives on what this idiot spent on a banana.
Moderate investing of $6.2 million with a 4-6% return would amount to a monthly payout of $25,833/month. Very comfortably.
Which is why it's really weird for people to be so greedy after they've already accomplished five million.
Accumulating money is addictive. These people have an addiction problem and we all suffer for it :/
If some is good, then more is better, right?
25,833 USD a month will result in the ultimate comfortable lifestyle. A big house, car, 100% Healthcare. Everything you could possibly need and a loy more.
And here I am glad that my savings account interest pays for my phone bill+90% of my car bill. Meanwhile I could just be buying a new car every month, instead, with a small loan of $6M
All people really...
