Coming from Bloomberg.... Who'd have thonk I'm sure it won't apply to me. If I had a few million I'd be just happy. I have no desire to be "important". And after you already have enough to buy a nice house, pay for some hobbies and not have to work, really the real big money sink is influence. I just don't care about that at all, and I wouldn't if I were rich. I'm sure the bloomberg crowd do, though.

Same, I think there are a lot of people who measure themselves in relation to their neighbours, and if their neighbour lived in a castle and drove a horse carriage, they would feel the FOMO. Me, I just want a house I can put solar panels on, fly a drone around, and generally treat as a large livable workhouse/playhouse. I don't want a pool. I don't want a boat. I don't want a fast car. A bike, and the ability to afford the odd plane ticket or cross-country train ticket in a comfortable class would be fine for me.
