He made billions, essentially conquered his industry. Why bother being greedy into old age when he can buy a legacy and still live a billionaire's lifestyle. Best of both worlds.
- avn2109 13y agoDoes he live a billionaire's lifestyle? In the pure sense of Mikhail Prokhorov models-and-bottles, jet-boat-race-to-Monte Carlo.
- hyperbovine 13y agoLess flashy perhaps, but he owns the obligatory private island, Porsche collection, and a couple hundred million worth of art and artifacts.
- mistermann 13y agoIf you or one of your children were one of the <who knows how many> lives he's affected in a very positive way you'd have a more mature perspective of the world instead of making flippant criticisms from the comfort of your living room. You're probably living in the top 10% at least of humanity, what have you done for the world lately?
- mburns 13y agoAnd if you or one of your parents were one of the <who knows how many> lives he affected in a negative way... you'd still be allowed to make informed decisions and not be painted by a single circumstance because people are more complex than that. >you'd have a more mature perspective of the world instead of making flippant criticisms from the comfort of your living room. So instead of disagreeing with the merit of my opinion presented, you just throw insults at how I couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about. You have much to show me about maturity.
- mistermann 13y agoI'm trying to, but I can't understand what you're saying in the first part of your comment, the "informed decisions" part. And point taken, I was indeed unnecessarily rude.
