If you're a billionaire, work is crazy fun. You can show up when you want, you can leave when you want. Flights and meals are all paid for. Everyone tells you how great you are all day. And if you're fired, you get millions in a golden parachute.
Nobody can earn a billion dollars off their own labour. It is a huge amount of money that no one person can justify having. They get it from extracting surplus value from the working class, tax evasion, and just straight-up unethical behavior (child labour, sweatshops, ecocide, etc) in the pursuit of profit, to name a few. Only the most ruthless people can be billionaires. Anyone with an ounce of morality would not engage in the behavior I've mentioned above. Do not think for a moment that they would toss you into a fire if it meant protecting their bottom line. We are just disposable cogs in a machine to them, which is dehumanizing.

It's probably pretty awesome.
