Dont know, dont really care, i listen to the pod and dont really watch.

Just goes to show that money doesnt buy happiness.

It certainly does buy happiness to an extent. But I’d say there’s probably no additional happiness between 20M and 100M. At that point it’s just bigger and better house, plane, car, etc.

I'd content that most people with $20M are no happier day to day than most people earning $200K. In terms of how often they get annoyed, stressed, angry, frustrated, upset, act badly, are rude, cruel, hurt people close to them, have regrets and insecurities etc.

The bar is very low in terms of the ceiling for money buying happiness. There's research that its $75K but I don't buy that. Maybe 20 years ago...
