And then what? If you have bought everything you will ever need, what else would you want the money for? They have enough money for their great great great children.
Control and awe. Many of those guys have antisocial personality disorders. Their brains work different to ours. One can always control more people/processes or inspire more fear&awe.
Mansions, supercars, yachts, maids, private chefs, expensive trips in their private airplanes. Those are the things that at least make sense. But then they start doing really stupid stuff like spending $45,000 for a light fixture in their house when most people have light fixtures that cost a hundred bucks. They buy T-shirts that cost $1200 just because of the label. They literally eat gold on $20,000 deserts that are powdered with gold dust and gold flake. They get bored of having everything they could ever want and start acting like fucking idiots. A normal person that has already had every single desire they've ever had met would start looking to benefit the less fortunate. Not these fucks. Instead they put diamonds on the soles of their shoes and pursue even more money that they'll never be able to spend.
So I gotta ask, because I've always noticed this about the song:
In the first chorus, is the electric guitar that plays between the brass lines, two chords, tuned slightly higher than the rest of the band? It sounds different than the second chorus.
George Krikes does my favorite cover of that one, on the "stories" yt channel (run by the guitarist from Scary Pockets, same studio). Great channel overall.
And then you've got Warren Buffet who just was really into it as a high score competition living in a house he bought 40 years ago driving a 8 year old car
I always thought Buffett was a pretty cool guy until I found out that he disowned his grand daughter for speaking in a documentary film after he told her not to. She doesn't even really say anything particularly bad. He's a psychopath.
Best explanation for the difference between a million and a billion: a million seconds is 12 days, a billion seconds is 31 years.
While we are angry at the guys who maybe stole a few months, there are people who have stolen centuries and millenias. The warner CEO is closer to being homeless, than being a billionaire (though neither is realistic).
Brag about it and use it as leverage for power. The money doesn't actually exist, it's stock mostly that gets instantly created from nothing. But they can use the idea of its existence to take other people's real money for the things they want and the rest is just other people agreeing to do what they want because of the idea of power that having it conveys.
