Yeah I've never really understood this mentality of business types. Invariably their attempts to get more money lead to them getting less in the long run. They all suffer from an inability to delay gratification.

Far apart from anything else if you've got 10 billion dollars just put it in the bank and live off the interest, you're still making money, even though profits are stable.

Feels like at some point it's like an addiction. Folks got enough money to enjoy the rest of their lives doing anything they want and leave plenty to their families, but they gotta make number go big. They should go play Cookie Clicker or something, instead of ruining society.
