There was a personal assistant who stole around GBP 4m from several of her bosses at Goldman Sachs. One of the bankers finally noticed when a 6-figure donation to Harvard bounced. One of other the victims later testified that his investment account felt "one or two million light". https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/secretary-who-had-a-aps4m-talent-for-stealing-from-her-superrich-bosses-56955.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/secretary-who-ha...

  My friend once stated that "Financial security is when you don't know which day of the week your paycheck gets direct deposited". Imagine being so unfathomably wealthy you don't even know how much cash you should have control over from one day to the next. Actually don't, it's bad for your brain.

    > unfathomably wealthy It's all just relative. I've mislaid thousands. That's years of income in many countries. You don't need to be that wealthy before a days wages for you is a months wages for someone poor in many countries. Indecently wealthy is relative: people look at their own incomes and often compare upwards but rarely seem to compare downwards.

    Better than that - you don't know the balance of your investment account to the nearest 2 million.

  "One of other the victims later testified that his investment account felt «one or two million light»" You left the best part out: "...but could not trace the money and decided he was mistaken." JFC!
