It’s a competition or a hobby. Most hobbies are ultimately meaningless. I used to do boxing. Getting punched in the face and punching others is ultimately useless. But for some reason I enjoyed it and put an enormous effort into it. Others play golf and enjoy it. And billionaires like to make money.
- godelski 3y agoI don't think you get it. I responded here[0] which motivated a simulation where you hire a $400k employee every weekday. You're hugely profitable if you're a multi-billionaire (>$1bn worth). You effectively cannot spend that money faster than you make it. These are amounts where you have to consider compounding interest because if you don't, you're missing daily profits that are on the scale of what we'd consider the net worth of a very wealthy individual.
