EXCLUSIVE: Brian O’Kelley says he’s capped his wealth to $100 million. The tech founder tells Fortune, billionaires are wasteful, out of touch, and “othered” from real life.
I guess my imagination is not good enough but I cannot imagine what I’d need much more than 1M per year in passive income for. 100K every 5 years easily gets me the car I want, 2M up-front would probably be enough to get me the house I want. Perhaps another 2M for a second house in some warm climate. I could pay for all of that in 1-5 years of passive income if I had $10M in investments.
I’ve been to Monaco. I’ve seen rich people. I didn’t see anything there I wanted.
