    Seriously, at what point is it ever enough? In theory, this guy could amass a trillion dollars if he were to compound what he already has.

    But after the first billion, how much more fucking money do you need?

      I’m pretty sure after you collect more money than you know what to do with, the flunkies you pay to yes-man you and take care of your needs is not enough. You start needing power and being worshiped. You’ve convinced yourself you’re a genius so you ought to be in charge of the universe because you’re so damn brilliant. You have a vision for the world and use your vast amounts of money to position yourself to achieve it. It’s entirely onanistic; you don’t know or care how your vision will actually affect people and economics, because you’re so convinced your plan is perfect - if course it is, it’s yours, right?
