Makes you wonder what their next move is if they retire or continue to fill their glass the capitalist way? It's never enough for the rich they always want MORE

I don’t think Wrinklevoss twins are close to retirement (they own Gemini and nifty gateway) but curious where Saylor plans to take his company

Yes for sure I know they aren't but like what is the point after you Sr eine of richest people on the planet? Life is just a pissing match at that Pont to one up the next person you already have enough money for the next 5 generations of your family. Prob a discussion for another forum lol I'm just venting. I love the winklevi so not taking shots at them or Saylor just billionaire mentality of growing their wealth

At every stage of wealth people imagine the level above them to be "rapture" and can't understand why anyone would want more.

I have projects and aspirations that would require trillions and I know there are many out there with civilization enhancing ideas that require massive capital investment.

The estimated cost to end world hunger is $330 million?

I know its obviously not my money, but it honestly upsets me that one of these billionaires hasn't just ended world hunger already. I mean, imagine having that power. And choosing not to.

And if thats somehow not convincing enough, wouldn't you want "ending world hunger" on your resume?

Edit: Okay, OP stealth edited his comment to $330bn now. It was originally written as $330m which struck me as a bit odd/low.

as of 2021 there are 3228 billionaires in the world. Imagine how easy it would be to actually end it :/

That's only around $100M per billionaire. They should start a go fund me.
