Assuming you didn't get paid 10% off of buying stocks and bonds, it incentivizes actually spending the money on something. Don't forget Tony's recruiting proces

Assuming you didn't get paid 10% off of buying stocks and bonds, it incentivizes actually spending the money on something. Don't forget Tony's recruiting process - whatever your current salary, I'll double it if you come work for me doing... whatever your heart desires. He had functionally infinite money, and you can't bring it with you, so what're you gonna do? Join the effective altruism crowd? Please.
It doesn't make sense of you have a limited a amount of money, but he was a billionaire and thought like one.
- sheepscreek 4y agoPutting the aggressive tone aside, this makes sense. His acts were a different kind of altruism compared to other billionaires. But altruistic, nevertheless. My take is that somewhere deep inside, he felt he didn’t deserve the amount of wealth he had. There was some guilt and pain that ate him up inside. He seemed like a good man who was motivated by something other than money. The fact that he made a lot of it seems coincidental. A round peg in a square world, he was unlike his peers - much less obsessed with spending the wealth on himself. I hope that we can find some inspiration from his desire to build a community larger than himself. I hope he is now at peace, wherever he is.
