Are billionaires inherently malevolent in your mind?
yes, and in real life too
You have to be a monster to get to billions. The only way to get that much money, is simply to sap it from other hardworking people.
Not exactly though. Most billionaires donât have billions liquid. Itâs from them making millions in business and then investing in stocks, ETFs, and buying existing businesses. Is Mr. Wonderful evil? Few billionaires just make money off the backs of middle class workers directly. In China where they pay workers like $5 a week and they canât leaveâŠthat is evil In the USA itâs mostly from portfolio growth and they then borrow against what their portfolio is worth for tax free cash.
Yes.
So if I start a business, save up 20mil, sell the business for 40mil, invest all my money, my investments do incredibly well and become worth over a billion, Iâm evil?
So to be clear, in this hypothetical, your investments netted you a cool 2500% return, and then you hoarded all the money for yourself?
