A finance expert and Fortune 500 therapist examine the potential motivations of billionaire cheater Steve Ballmer and his subordinates. Unsurprisingly, people who have enough money to do literally anything they want do not evaluate risk the same way as the rest of us. Just another sign that wealth hoarding is a mental illness, imo.

From the article and underlying research though, it’s weirder than that. The ultra wealthy literally do not evaluate risk the same way. It’s like they’re unable to comprehend a scenario where they might be disadvantaged or endangered.
