I’d donate about 90% of it to Alzheimer’s research and pass on the rest to my kids

There's so many problems I could help solve it's absolutely insane that 90% of them just sit on their wealth

I think the issue is basically that it becomes like an addiction. They can’t stop working to amass wealth. They must do more

If they can spend 400 million on an election they can find a way to help people

yes and they can effectively borrow against that 1:1 from a bank. this whole “billionaires have no actual money” thing is a bunch of crap.

It doesn’t even have to be 1:1, they’re borrowing money so they’re essentially magnifying it (their gains and losses are magnified too)

That’s actually the thing. Because they’re getting a loan and not selling their assets, they don’t need to pay capital gains tax (there’s no sale). They stay invested while having access to some cash as long as they don’t get margin called
