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.
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.
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
Best explanation for the difference between a million and a billion: a million seconds is 12 days, a billion seconds is 31 years.

The only thing I ever hear about David Zaslav is how he's a notorious piece of shit who only makes terrible decisions about how to further ruin the reputation of his company. That, and now about how he's getting a huge raise.
I hope this is true, because the bullshit we are fed is that they earn those incomes by their performance. This would be an obvious slap in the face for that argument.
I know it's all bullshit, but it's nice to have direct evidence that it's bullshit.
Noted that this is the face of the person who ruined the lives of my friends and former coworkers. In case anyone doesn't know, everything Rooster Teeth will be vanishing in like 2 weeks thanks to Warner Brothers. I finally get my dream job as a Production Designer on Simple Walk into Mordor, then this...
Wood chippers require energy and can be expensive. A guillotine is rather easy to make, requires no electricity and is easy to build from things at hand for everyone.
