There is this very common view that billionaires are sad or depressed, I'm not sure about that but it is nice to imagine it
They got there by being unable to feel bad for others so I don't think their emotional capacity would ever induce a "I have so much wealth but I'm so empty moment"
I’ve been through enough life to understand that wealth beyond basic comforts and utility does not actually equate to any kind of meaningful peace and happiness. It took me a few years to figure this out, I really don’t understand how it takes some people accumulating millions, billions of dollars and decades to not figure this out? These parasites are some of the most miserable people alive, and they don’t even understand …
I’ve been in the world of wealth at one point and I will tell you that this is absolutely not the case. Some of the most miserable people I know are the wealthy ones. Absolutely miserable and for some reason thinking that continuing on the path of accumulating obscene amounts of wealth will finally make them whole and happy and at peace.

Some people are so poor, all they have is money.

I have rubbed elbows with some rich people and I noticed how shallow their lives are.
They "act" happy but are easily depressed.
Just my observation.
I also know some really poor people. Boy can he play the guitar. Why is it that really good artists die poor?

The dog knows that when his time comes, that billionaire will fear that stick...
And that dog will be a good boy.

I wish the epstein class as much misery as possible. And I wish dogs all the love and sticks and scritches because they are awesome.

One of them is a good boy, and is proud of themselves, the others are billionaires and deep inside they know they are useless.

Unfortunately the world doesn't quite work like this comic.
Musk aside there are plenty of wealthy people who are very happy.

I hope they are miserable and hope they drown in it.
