This seems awfully confident. I mean, have you interviewed every single billionaire? I doubt it. I'm sure there's many patterns or things linking them together.

This seems awfully confident. I mean, have you interviewed every single billionaire? I doubt it. I'm sure there's many patterns or things linking them together.
All I know is that I, and also everyone else I know, would never let themselves have a billion dollars. That money would be long gone before they reach 1 billion. Impulsively spent on whatever they think is good for other people.
Could money be an addiction, like alcohol? Where some are predispositioned to want more and more and some don't care for it?
- hasbot 2y agoI didn't have to interview them; it's all here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2024/04/02/forbes-worlds-billionaires-list-2024-the-top-200 https://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2024/04/02/forbes-... What patterns do you see and, more importantly, what actions would you take?
- consteval 2y agoI don't think a forbes article is enough to claim with 100% certainty that every billionaire is completely different from the others. It's such a wild and obviously incorrect claim I don't know how you could possibly make it. I mean, even me - there are things in common between me and random people. > what actions would you take Nice try, but if I tell you you'll just use that to discredit anything I say. That's not relevant to the conversation so I won't be answering that. Feel free to speculate.
- hasbot 2y agoSure it is. Just scroll through the list and you see very few similarities. If anything might be in common, is that many of them were from rich families to begin with (e.g. Gates, Zuckerberg, Donald Trump) but there's many that weren't (e.g. Phil Knight). > I'm sure there's many patterns or things linking them together. That's awfully confident. What knowledge do you have that inspires such confidence?
