That's 100k for those in the back. Really puts this greed into perspective, there is absolutely no reason for any individual to be hoarding this much money. For many people that would literally be life changing

It’s a mental disorder, similar to hoarding, and they all need psychological help.

And the saddest thing about it is that a lot of people admire it.

Loads of people admire people with anorexia and bulimia, doesn’t change that there is something wrong with their brain.

If you want to stretch it a little further, this would be enough to very comfortably support just shy of 74,000 students in Australia per year.

That's roughly an extra third of what our government offers right now.
