nobody who is rich will ever truly know the feeling of how it feels to need to work to live, unless they seriously fuck up amd lose everything with zero support.
that switch from survival mode chasing $ to being able to choose when/what you work on is indescribable

Someone who has maybe one or two million dollars doesn’t even come close to the power that a CEO or major stockholder of a big company wields. If you’re on that level, it’s pretty much impossible to become poor, which very much remains a possibility with 1-2 million.

no, i’m saying that unless that 1-2 millionaire started from nothing, he does not know the experience of struggle and eventual relief that is escaping the labour trap

And I’m saying that the difference between a low-end millionaire and a billionaire is just as large, if not larger, as the difference between a low-end millionaire and a poor person. People like the CEO he (allegedly) killed don’t view him as a peer.
