Title: Enlightened ones
Post by: Arctic on Feb 25, 2025, 11:00 AM
I admire ppl like Steve Wozniak and Eduardo Saverin

Made their pot of gold and decided to take life easy, enjoy life to the max. They dun hanker after power and fame anymore

i don't understand people like musk and jobs. billions of dollars to enjoy more than three lifetimes, but still doing all the bad stuff to people in order to get even richer/more powerful. 

how many luxury watches do you need? how many supercars can you drive? how many big houses do you need?

i really don't understand. is it for power or just the pwning feeling that they crave?

I duno about pinky or other rich ppl but Wozniak is admirable

During his era he's already so enlightened. Left Apple when his vision dun align with Job's. He's a nerd thru and thru but know how to make money, enough to be even rich by any standard

Imo it's indeed power, fame and recognition

There are many low profile millionaires even in sg. Many of them are sme bosses, we duno them nor do they bother to be known. However, some rich dudes like musk and bezos who are already so well known yet they wanted more. Hence they do many nonsense to make their  mark

No limit to greed. More greed = higher inflation
