if anything ever proves money can't buy happiness it's this guy. literally richest man in the world and all he wants is for people to like him or think hes funny. you're just not funny boss, reminds me of kuro lol.
imagine being such an absolute baby about all this. dude you are a celebrity again one of the richest people on the planet of course people are going to track you, stalk you, post about you, and even not like you. grow up, hire better security for your family. absolute man child.

44 billion isnt large enough?????????????
I think money can buy happiness to a point. Once you have all your needs and most of your wants met, more than that doesn't mean shit anymore. The sad thing is... all he had to do is stfu and build a school every now and then and people would see him as a God. It is that easy.
I remember reading a study a few years back that concluded $130,000/yr is the point at which money and happiness start to diverge, seemed about right to me.
Yes but you'd be able to afford a house down payment.
It's per person iirc, but also they quoted it kinda wrong. It's that money does buy happiness, up until around 130k a year, but after that it doesn't buy you additional happiness. If you want more than that you gotta be popular in your community, or buy a community and ban anyone who doesn't like you.

Yeah that lines up with the thought that money can buy happiness if its paying for all your basic needs to be met. You don't have to stress about bills or healthcare or anything like that.
So the same plane twitter tracking thing happened to Bernard Arnault, who now happens to be the richest man in the world. Instead of bitching like a little crybaby, he did the smart thing and sold the corporate jet and now rents private aircraft. That way, unless the tracker knew which rental company and exact tailfin from the plane used, he can’t be tracked. Shows how dumb Phony Stark really is.
I never understood ultra rich people's obsessions with owning all their own stuff. If I was that rich I would rent villa's or entire hotels out instead of owning 20 homes and I would rent out the best jet I could instead of owning one. Saves you a lot of money on upkeep and maintenance and still gets you what you want. Also I imagine the money can't buy happiness after a certain point depends on where you live. I am sure it diverges eventually but in ultra HCOL areas it diverges at a higher place than other places.
I totally get it too. My kids stop caring about stuff when they have too much of something. In order to keep their attention it needs to be limited so it feels special. If you are so rich you can have anything and everything then it all just ends up feeling mundane and boring.
