Pretty certain there are rich people no one knows about because of that exact reason… they don’t attract attention cause they do lay low.

I have worked around a lot of extremely wealthy people over the last decade. What I learned was no one becomes extremely wealthy by accident, they do it to fill a gaping hole in their lives and when they fill that hole they have to tell everyone about it and when no one listens to them because they’re wealthy and don’t relate to normal people they get even more weird and outspoken and their lives become about being relevant and respected which oddly they no longer are because they’ve taken themselves out of the “normie” consideration set. They’re not all like this but certainly many of the ones I met were and is Elon Musk in a nutshell.

Truly

If I had $62bill I’d be how I am now, but with money.

Others can have the attention, I’m just trying to enjoy my quiet life.

Seeing Dr Jackson Crawforrd on the front page is pretty wild

Most of these famous billionaires have a personality disorder. The literal (soon to be) trillionaire goal right now is to sacrifice people and the livability of Earth in order to try and colonize Mars. These guys may look human, but they have no humanity

You don’t get to own 62 billion dollars and still be a good human. I’d say 99% of anybody who is worth more than a couple billion are all psychopaths. Like, literally clinical psychopaths. The only way to own that much money is to be evil asf. Every part of whatever business you own is built upon pain and suffering of some kind. You workers are overworked and underpaid, your customers are overpaying for your service, your suppliers are manufacturing via slave labor, your product is poor quality in every way to ensure maximum margins and the only way it all works is because you have a monopoly of whatever marker you’re in.

That’s why they’re all up in people’s lives. That’s what they do. They love this shit.

Good people can’t make more than a few hundred million simply because they’ll sell whatever company they own before it gets to billions. Normal people know when enough is enough. Your average guy couldn’t spend 1 billion even if they tried, so why waste your life building a company to be worth more than 1 billion, let alone 62 billion.

Jackson Crawford is an amazing person. His area of expertise is super niche, but his personality alone is worth checking him out.

My favorite example is Tom from MySpace. We all knew him when MySpace was a thing, but he disappeared after selling it and letting it get absolutely ran into the ground.

Being a traveling photographer is always listed as what he does now. If you search there’s a few news stories of him “considering” investing or advising some company, but no confirmation that he did.

And that’s it. Nothing else is in the news because he keeps his head down and enjoys life. An absolute dream.

Thats what Tom from Myspace did….legend

If I had that money, I’d go live on an island and raise hyrax in peace.

People say: I would lay low and just do what I want.

But at some point you did all you ever wanted to do, and then you look at what else you can do. And for many it ends with “how can I make an impact on the world”. Some will do philanthropic or humanitarian projects, some will look into issues they want to change in their image.

I know, if I would ever be a billionaire, I would do that at some point. Influence architecture schools to teach how to make beautiful buildings again instead of the ugly modernist boxes, supporting political parties I think are beneficial to my view of the world, heck even stuff like forming my own mercenary band to fight against war mongering tyrants.

People would change a lot if they would have that amount of money, and thus power.

Truth

Same here. I don’t understand it at all. It’s like they get to the point where all the money they could ever spend isn’t enough and only power and treating others badly satisfies their desire.

You don’t just gain that level of money by minding your business and just existing

How many times do the same posts from different people end up on this sub?

You don’t become the kind of person to get 62 billion without also being the kind of person who messes with other people’s lives

you wont make 62billion with that mindset from the first place

I did not expect Jackson Crawford of all people to post this

You are ‘able’ to interfere and when you’re unable, the money is gone

I have a cousin who’s networth is more than 12 billion and he owns no luxury car or villa. Never goes for any holidays..no online presence literally like a ghost

I would setup programs to help people. With $62B I could do a lot of good. Invest half then use the other half to setup programs to help people. Even if it was just a few per year.

Word

Social status. Groups of rich people hang out and jerk it to how much and how creatively they have screwed others over to get more. Greed is a sickness.

Though I agree with this, 2mil and I’d never work another day in my life.
