> This raises the question: if this is true for the wealthiest people, is it also true for 'mere' hundred-millionaires or millionaires? What are the actual impacts of achieving high levels of wealth, and should we actually be happier having less money/power because it means that we are more likely to have better relationships?
I don't think there's any difference at all between having a net worth of $100m, or tens or hundreds of billions. Once you're at a point where you know that you'll never worry about money, you have enough estates, you can do anything within reason, you're not that sensitive to the number of digits on your bank statement. Scope insensitivity.
- gnicholas 5y agoI would guess that this is probably true, but then again I don't have $100M. It's possible that those people look up at wealthier folks in the same way that working wealthy look up at them (and working poor look up at working wealthy).
