I agree. In fact, the article seemed disingenuous to me from the first sentence. As if he's trying too hard to hit a 'can you believe my lack of perspective' note. But I don't see it. Sure, if you have millions, your personal material needs are taken care of many times over, and you're very fortunate. But the difference between 5 and 100 million is very real. There are plenty of significant things you can do with 100 million that you cannot do with 5 million. And once you're at that altitude, that probably becomes that much clearer.
- ItendToDisagree 13y agoI think his overarching point is that these people (by and large) do NOT do anything 'significant' with their millions. They don't even participate in a part of society that is useful beyond making ridiculous amounts of money. That was why I believe he highlights that he has started speaking to the less fortunate and trying to 'make a difference' towards the end of the article. Edit: Not to say this guy still doesn't sound like a total twat. Look at how he ends with a sales pitch...
