“Person has a net worth of over $xxx million, they are not worried about money.”
Stop and think that through. If this were true the banking industry as we know it would not exist.
I’d like to think above some dollar amount I’d stop worrying about money and just do what I love, but who knows?
I’ll tell you when I make my first $400 million.
- maxerickson 6y agoI think there are probably more people that make ~$5-10 million and chill out than there are people north of $100 million. Lots of people likely do keep doing productive things that they enjoy, without the number mattering much. People at the top of banking are likely motivated by things like status and winning as much as by how many millions they have.
- bombcar 6y agoIf you're the type to chill out when you've hit a certain amount you're unlikely to climb to $100m - as you've already chilled out long before. Bill Waterson vs Jim Davis.
- maxerickson 6y agoMy intended meaning was that I believe it is likely that people motivated primarily by money tend to run out of that motivation once they have $10 million. It doesn't buy a yacht or a mansion in the most famous places, but that's about it.
- packetslave 6y agoFair. I'm just saying she's probably not ONLY motivated by earning more money to feed her cats. If it was all about a cash grab, she'd be releasing more new music, which would (presumably) sell better than re-treads of her first 6 albums. She's already released two new pandemic albums, it's not like she's likely to run out of things to say anytime soon.
