The very poor seek to survive, the poor seek to get rich, the rich seek to stand out, the super-rich seek adulation…

It is well worth asking: what exactly is it all about?????

Life, as we presently have it. With so many people around the world living in squalor, in abject poverty and pain. Given the chance, they rarely help each other, the just want to break out and join the ranks of the rich…

I once asked a wealthy friend why he would spend 25 x the standard cost of a pair of shoes, to buy his customised pair? He said he was unaware of the standard cost of shoes!

When you have a bunch of multi-billionaires pledging to give their wealth away, it makes you wonder: why amass such wealth?

Now, once you have several billions and are no longer worried about standing out or buying customised shoes, I guess the next step is to try to achieve adulation?
