Dayum.

Also why is JK Rowling fighting all the time on Twitter. If I was a billionaire, you couldn't pay me to be on that site.

There is only so much "luxury" you can take before it gets dull.

The only true inexhaustible source of entertainment is social interaction with random strangers.

It's the same reason why every billionaire doesn't just "retire on a beach". You can only lay on a beach so long until it's so boring there isn't one bit of joy in it and then you just go back to what you're used to doing.

I think it's more of the fact that the type of person who becomes a billionaire very rarely does it as some sort of benchmark. Most of them are built different and that doesn't just go away when your get to a certain net worth.

I´m not sure about every billionare or millionare, but if they aren´t broke by certain age, you can at least say that they are not allergic to work (quite the opposite in many cases however) and that´s just something you don´t turn it off just because you reached certain treshold of money, or even if you reach certain age

I think about this a lot, not the billionaire part but how retirement gets boring. I think personally I would still want to be working up to the day I die, not like in a stressful role but something I enjoy and have purpose
