    A normal person has to break their backs on their own startup.

    And right when you’ve made it, you have to decide whether you want a guaranteed check for millions, or risk it all for even more obsence wealth. And if you’re wrong, it’s too late to start over, it’s your only shot.

    If you’re already wealthy, the choice is the same as buying a lottery ticket. Except if you’re wrong, you get to deduct the cost off taxes.

    So when someone that was born wealthy and just kept writing those checks…

    It doesn’t make them a good businessman, it just means they can afford to keep buying lottery tickets. Theirs just have way better odds.

        There isn’t a method anymore, just madness. You can’t see it because it isn’t there. His obscene wealth has turned him into a narcissist.
