Do you need to be a psychopath to become a billionaire? Nearly every one of them did some fucked up thing to get rich, whethwr it was fucking over a friend or business partner or stealing documents from the boss to open their own business with the information, or by lying through their teeth and putting on a fake persona of caring about the client when they don't actually give a fuck.

Bill Gates send vaccines loaded with poison to Africa. Warren Buffet pushes inheritance taxes so insolvent families are forced to sell their lived one's businesses to him. Elon Musk is deluding people and Larry Ellison hates is mom for dying on him. Steve Jobs treated his employees like pure garbage. George Soros destabilizes entire nations for fun.

I can't think of anything Richard Branson did beyond tax evasion, but I'm sure he did something unethical too. Is becoming a psychopath the only way to become a billionaire? Is the willingness to become a psychopath the same as being a psychopath? Did Richard Branson do some evil shit? Is becoming a psychopath the only way to massive wealth?

Fucking over someone doesn't make you a psychopath. Usually just an asshole. Sometimes it's just strategy.

Are you even being serious, anon? The reward isn't worth the effort?

You get a private jet, a yacht, a supermodel wife, pornstar mistresses. How is the reward not worth the effort? Why would you have to be ill to want to be a billionaire?

Answer truthfully now. It is NOT the ultimate ambition of most men, including you, to get mega rich, buy a yacht and plane, sleep with Brazilian ass models, mate with French supermodels, fuck every single hot teacher you had in a Bentley, and wear an Armani suit while doing it?

You can do that if you want but in the end you will wonder why you wasted ypur life and accomplished nothing significant. It's much better to do good, because then you can look back at your life and say "yeah I did good shit" and you will have people who love you and you won't have to pay whores who don't care about you to get laid and take drugs to go to sleep just to have horrible nightmares and wake up feeling like shit. It feels better to wake up thinking "what more good can I do foday with my billions?". This is why most very tich people give to charity and shit. Me personally, when I'm rich I will use my money to save the white race. Idgaf about yachts and whores, those are not investments. Of course when you're rich you will live a good life but wasting money on luxury for the hell of it is just stupid.

I mistrust people that believe that wealth, I mean real wealth, wouldn't corrupt them. You'd do good things? What if I told you that you assume you'd "do good" because you like to see yourself as a good person? Define "good", before you start slinging shit at people who want riches. You must stop to look at greedy people as if you weren't greedy. To assume you're not makes you the psychopath. It's like assuming that poor people are somehow morally superior to rich people, or, on the contrary, to assume that they are dumber. People are more complex than that and you have a poor understanding of yourself if you believe you're superior to anyone else.
