He didn't really answer the billionaire happiness question.
- i_cant_speel 8y agoWhat do you mean? He said yes, then gave some reasoning. What more are you looking for?
- what_ever 8y agoHe seems to have answered this one - https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/aunv58/im_bill_gates_cochair_of_the_bill_melinda_gates/eh9a9x2/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/aunv58/im_bill_gates_... Doesn't feel like a non-answer as well.
- pastor_elm 8y agoit's a non-answer because he doesn't describe the benefits of being a billionaire. Only the benefits of being above middle class. It would have appeared crass of him to say, 'yeah i love living in a $200 million 66,000 sq ft mansion and having the world's biggest foundation named after me. Having a such a legacy produces genuine happiness.' But he played the false modesty card.
- solveit 8y agoI think his point was that a $200 million home doesn't actually buy you all that much more happiness than a $20 million home. Well, apart from the trampoline room that he seems very fond of.
