Makes sense to reflect on life and understand one has made mistakes. We shouldn't judge people based on prejudice, if he says it was painful for him - it was.

But then the typical billionaire narcissism triggers. Please pity me but only me. I don't see him saying we need to fix the system so no one else suffers the same.

Some of them used to be, that much money actually changes your brain chemistry, the ones born rich never had the chance to be real people(that’s not an excuse for them) and the ones that became rich in life lost their humanity. Fuck em, they could become a regular person again at any point by giving 99% of their money away and still live an enviable life with what remains

Exactly. I’m sure there were regrets and sadness about the time he’s lost to family and friends and being young. But it effectively paid off. If he shared his wealth those people and left tomorrow to make up for lost time it will be a very very net positive life.

But he’s in his current role. Reminding us this billionaire use to be human but we don’t care. Because it’s such an unfathomable amount of wealth for most people he* might as well be fictional.
