Right now, 34 million is peanuts to him. For the first time in his life, he is a legitimate billionaire. Real money, to boot, not paper promissory notes that many (such as Elon Muskrat) have.

I wonder which is the stronger impetus for pursuing this: the monetary sickness the ultra rich have where everything wouldn’t be enough, or the deep insecurity he’s been taught that to lose at anything means death.

I know both ideas are involved, just wondering which pathology is the main force.
