73 million is so much money I wouldn't know what to do with it in my entire lifetime.

Its ~0.3% of the ~20 billion twitter has lost.

Rich people live in a different universe.

if I had billions I'm sure as hell I wouldn't buy Twitter

I'd disappear into the hedges and nobody would ever know my name.

Fuck that whole ego stroking "hey I've got to start a space tourist business to sell rides to space for other rich narcissist assholes".

Nope, I'd disappear onto my own island or huge land reserve, and have an army of accountants and lawyers to ensure I remain anonymous to the larger public.

The only reason that anyone has that much money is because of a massive personality problem like NPD. Normal people would drop out and enjoy life long before they got to that point.

Which is why you don't have millions!

They’re flawed people.

I would stop at £1M. I’m not going to earn more than that before I die. But free time is far more valuable.

Everybody has different goals, but honestly does anybody even need to pass £10M. Broken hoarders is what they are.
