What will motivate people to develop their careers and businesses beyond the middle class level? Flying a private jet is about the only thing of any benefit that someone making $1M per year cannot do while someone making $10M per year can.
- tjpnz 4y agoIf that's what motivates you most as an entrepreneur you're not going to be making $10M, let alone $1M. And that's a good thing.

At $1M, you can already live anywhere, or nowhere in particular, you can already afford elite school for your kids and luxury cars. There's little left to strive for consumption-wise. At $10M? A very large house/mansion and lots of personal servants? That's hardly environmentally better than a jet, and is very much out of fashion today, people don't like to be tied to one place like that. A Manhattan penthouse? I don't even know. Art collection? A way to be tricked out of your money by 'advisors'.
