Forget nominal-dollar inequality (jeff bezos has ~60,000x my net worth), which who gaf. Dude is vacationing in spots I can go to, banging a girl way, way uglier and fatter than the two I bang, and most of life is work work work. Yeah he *could* theoretically walk away from it all and live on a private island, but he actually can't -- his constitution won't let him. Go down from bezos even one rung and you're at a level where people don't even make the final call on business decisions (which at least bezos has), or have a 'legacy'.
This has been obvious to me since at least the #metoo movement, when it became clear to all of us that only chadliness, and not wealth, allows men to violate female-set sexual mores with impunity. Today we have Prince (oops, not a prince!) Andrew facing prison time and bill gates with his reputation ruined, everyone he knows forswearing him and claiming they always thought he was a dirty worthless shitbag, and being investigated himself for criminal activity -- and the guy probably banged 1-2 mid-20s dead-eyed pros who didn't know or care who he was. (His one attempt at a previous workplace affair resulting in the girl rejecting him and publicly humiliating him and his wife divorcing him and taking half of his hard-earned wealth. She now talks mad shit about him.)
I was reflecting on this first listening to a podcast about how these dudes like larry summers (who himself is a bad example, since he isn't rich) got tangled up in the epstein web: they worked hard af their whole lives, climbing the GC mountain, expecting there to be models and bottles at the summit, but all there was was more hard work -- far MORE work than the lower classes do, leading to a lower QOL. And second, when I was visiting a centimillionaire client in the hospital: poor guy is dying very painfully of an exotic cancer, getting better 'service' or whatever than you or I would get, but basically getting the same medical treatments that a dude off the street would get. The rich and the average die at roughly the same age now.
Think of it this way: would you rather trade lives with bezos or gates; or a 17-year-old chad outside linebacker who's the son of a GP making $190K in August, GA, who's fucked 6 girls so far and has bright prospects for a freshman cheerleader who asked to sit next to him on the bus? Everyone with a functioning brain would choose the chad, even BEFORE accounting for the fact that he'll still have a great life in 10 and 20 years, while gates/bezos will be infirm and then dead (this is a fair consideration, too, given that these uber-rich dudes completely burned their youth to get where they are).
I honestly think that if we want to continue to have an innovative society, we need to make it more appealing to become a captain of industry. Bezos pictured clapping like a seal at St. Barts as his hefty-housekeeper common-law brown wife slurps down her 4th frozen margarita is just not going to get it done.
