It seems confusing to me.
Take Bill Gates for example, he started Microsoft when he was 19/20, a multimillionaire by age 23 and a billionaire by 31. Why stay with the company? Why not sell when you have a few hundred million and live comfortably for the rest of your life? I don't get it. How much money does one person need? I imagine at a certain point it has nothing to do with money and is simply about power.
Isn't the idea behind starting a company, inventing a product or in todays world, creating a website, to become so rich and make so much money that you can live comfortably for the rest of your life? To retire early and enjoy the world around you and no longer have the stress of a job?
I see all the billionaire people who just stay with their company so they can keep making billions. Why? It has to be about power.
Listen, I don't really care either way. It's their company and more power to them for growing it their way. I just question the motives behind it.
Quoting: Bananafighter Who cares what kind of loser even thinks about this shit? fuck bill gates and FUCK MICROSOFT You can and should delete comments like this one... it adds nothing to your question. As for your question I have thought about that myself. I have no idea what motivates people to earn that much.. it has to be about power and wanting to control everyone and everything. It is like being a modern king. I think this is why people joke about CEOs having small penises and stuff like that because it really does seem like they are compensating for something. After all the joke is on them anyway as we are all mortal and life will have a sundown for them as well and i can’t help but think some part of them will feel they wasted it and missed the point. I don't delete comments because I don't like them but I understand what your point is. To your statement, I do agree. I think these CEO's want as much power as possible. Look at Bloomberg. Billions, politician and trying to use his money to impart socialism.
