Well to be fair, I don't know what it's actually like being a billionaire.
I was already a bit over a millionaire by age 21, investing in rentals and forestry, etc. Passive incomes. I could of retired then, but then discovered a passion to work, without the greed of money. I like being financial wealthy, because you aren't just living and slaving away from paycheck to paycheck anymore. Money is working for you, rather then you are working for money all your life. So even with the illusion of money in life, there's a certain point to it. Yet I found myself not buying so many crappy things in life, but rather just quality that lasts and I would use on a daily basis. I still have my skateboard, surfboard, guitar and computer, which I tend to use daily.
Most billionaires on the other hand are born into it, via leeching off others. They don't seem to have a limit or give back. They don't pay their taxes or give so much to charity. They just seem to be collecting it for the sake of it. Like if it's some ego statue.
The real financial wealthy can appear like just an average person, but perhaps posing as "rich" gives you all the easy access to appear more powerful and get all the gold diggers wanting to leech off your wealth, fake marries and divorces? The ability to cheat upon your own wife? Yeah, I don't get it.
Yeah, well gold diggers.
I was actually told by the bank at age 18 to hide most of my bank account, before seeking a relationship. Lulz. I can see why now.
Even one of Elon Musk's ex-wives claimed he was the best "EX" they have ever had and would marry and divorce him again in a heart beat! After doing it twice and getting millions off him in the settlements. It's messed up, but I guess he deserves it too, consider all his abandoned children he moved to Texas just to pay less child support towards?
^ This...
I can understand using money... but I can't understand collecting it for just an ego status and then being hooked to it like a drug you can't get enough of but still don't know what to do with.
I don't even think it's a matter of being lucky, but rather a leech off others? Even if that other is their own family / father, etc.
Hmm, you have a point, it's power over others they seem to crave the most. Some suckers willing to sell out to them, out of their own greed and ego.
America itself seems to be going down that path. Selling itself out and even the US Presidency to a bunch of billionaires. Quite sad really.
Yet Elon Musk doesn't believe in the poor... he assumes the homeless are just faking it like Trump did with his ear shot wound WWE acting forgetting to wear the bandage/makeup in a later speech and just wondering why he did that.

Yet I personally believe more in this, more are suckers used and discarded, then don't know why?
Are you implying that the immortal vampires who literally worked centuries to gain their massive fortunes have achieved so by dishonest means all along? What a way to dismiss their literally inhuman work ethic.
Obviously these are still very valuable assets, but not exactly liquid ones.
If they got to that point is because they do manage that money well, and by that, really well. And/or inherited from their families.
Charities benefit from cash, and not assets they would probably run to the ground. Expertise is power.
