      Being a millionaire these days is pretty normal. Need a lot more than that to retire if you don’t have a pension plan.

        The person with 100 million is closer in wealth to the homeless person you pity than they are to a billionaire.

        It’s an unimaginable amount of money

          The quote I like is “The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars.”

              That is another better perspective … and also why again do we have a civilization that allows someone to own so much wealth that it is not feasible or even possible for them to enjoy all the money in one lifetime?

              Holy shit this perspective is enlightening … and also very depressing … thanks

      I think that oversimplifies the issue.

      I have no problem with a millionaire that has a net worth of, say 3 million

      I have a problem with someone having a net worth of 30 million

      I have a huge problem with someone being worth 300 million

      All are millionaires
