If I try to imagine my life where I had $100 million and the best thing I could find to do with my time— given that just about everything would be within my budget — was to work long hours and try to raise thar number… it just seems sad.
That’s the exact kind of go-getter a lot of society has told me is the person I should want to be too. Gross.
Your first mistake is thinking that you got the first $100mil by “working hard”.
You don’t get $100 mil by working hard. You get there by being born to the right family or by exploiting the labor of others. Usually both. Very, very rarely, it could be just pure dumb luck. But never just by working hard.
