Obviously not. What's the point in having all of the money in the world if you literally have no free time.
I guess if you want to win some sort of dck-measuring contest but that seems dumb and pointless.
This isn't a very realistic scenario (not the becoming a multimillionaire/billionaire part, but everything about not having any free time, feeling somewhat miserable, etc.) but honestly, if you tweaked a couple parts of this hypothetical situation, you'd end up by describing Elon Musk. And I would have no problem being Elon Musk.
The stipulations you created make it undesirable. In reality, with over a hundred million dollars, there'd be no reason why you'd have to work for 15 hours a week and not have any free time, unless you enjoyed this lifestyle.
This is a stupid post - you outlined some weird, strange scenario where random, unrelated things happen that somehow cause you to be a billionaire...not sure how to respond.
Who the hell doesn't want to be a billionaire? Work smart, and hard. Or at least some combination of the two.
I think your scenario is okay and describes my partner. But he absolutely LOVES what he does and would do it above anything else. Because of this he never had kids. The guy works solid 16 hour days around the clock and gladly takes my calls on Saturday night even when he's at a dinner party. He'd much rather talk to me about business.
My parents have a college friend worth hundreds of millions who is much the same, LOVES his work and does it every chance he gets. His kids turned out to be very well balanced and successful adults.
I know of a couple other billionaires second hand and they were the same, exceptionally smart and obsessed with their business. If you madly love what you do and you make zillions doing it, what's the problem?
I am sure there are millionaires/billionaires that feel like they have sold their soul but I would imagine majority of these people are doing exactly what they want to be doing. The reason they are so successful is because they put their personal life on hold and focused on work. You don't work for 20-30 years to all of a sudden become CEO to then realize you want to spend more time with your family.
This is much more likely for a 28-35 year old who gets burned out and realizes they would rather spend more time with their family then spend the rest of their careers working 100+ hours.
Post of the year. Nothing better than hypotethicals that paint being wealthy as shitt.
Guess what? Most people go bald, work a lot, have shitty lives and shitty kids and they make $50k a year. Welcome to America.
So you're going bald, but can you still be swole?
OP what is wrong with you?
No I'd rather be poor and on the hustle all the time..
