Less than 10x because of insufficient liquidity, progressive taxation, and other issues. But yes, you can buy even more stuff. Would that have a significant impact on your happiness?
I'm with OP but on a much smaller scale.
If I had something like 3-10m$ i wouldn't work.
Buy a 500k$ house in a good area, invest the rest in a mix of SP500 index fund, maybe some international index, and a lot into a dividend aristocrat index to live off dividends.
Buy a Honda Civic, a Tacoma and maybe a project car.
And just fucking live an easy live, without telling anyone that you are a multimillonaire. And do whatever the fuck you want.
Travel? Ok, let's make a few travels a year.
Play vidya? Sure! Let's get a new gaming rig.
Maybe learn how to code for old consoles, just for the lols.
Oh man, I wish I had that kind of money to live free.
1,000,000,000 is 10,000 x 100,000, I'm 31 so assuming I'll live until 80 (max) this means I'll live 49 more years, aka 17,800 days, meaning with 1 billion dollars I can pay 5 ultra expensive victoria secret models 10k$ each per day, meaning I will have a 6-some every singlz day with 10/10 women until I day.
So yeah I guess with 10 billion I could make that 50 women a day, but I doubt my dick could take that, still nice though

>You could have probably bumped up research in radical life extension forwards by at least a couple of years if you had invested hundreds of millions in it a decade ago. (Now the commercial private sector is taking it up, making it increasingly moot). But most billionaires didn’t get to be billionaires by throwing their money around on moonshots. They are spiritual normies. Musk and Soros, in their own ways, are not. But they’re the exception, not the rule.
After a threshold is not about money anymore but about power you can get with your money.
Look at Elon Musk with Twitter, he spent a shitload of money to gain more power and control.
>Look at Elon Musk with Twitter
That's a weird example, because after he agreed to buy the company, he regretted it and tried a bunch of nutty tricks to get out of the sale. Eventually a court forced him to buy the company as he'd promised. Seems more like an impulse purchase than a considered strategy to trade money for power.
He would get more power/control by buying up news companies on the cheap and controlling their output. Twitter was a passion project. That's honestly what billionaires do past the $100B mark, embark on passion projects and meme things like space travel. They are obviously not as committed to their net worth once they get to a certain point.
>why keep playing the game if you're already racking up a high score?
It's an ambitious person thing. For those who know no explanation needed for those who don't no explanation possible. Some people are just uniquely driven.
there is a certain point of wealth where you just cant lose anymore...i say it's roughly when your portfolio is 100x your annual spending. if youre not making it rain like a nagger at that point you will always be getting richer
What the fuck kind of question is that? You can do 10x with 10B than what you could do with 1B.
Less than 10x because of insufficient liquidity, progressive taxation, and other issues. But yes, you can buy even more stuff. Would that have a significant impact on your happiness?
>What can you do with $10 billion that you can't do with $1 billion?
Buy 500m in property and not feel the sting of losing 1/2 my liquid networth.
Yeah, exactly: superyachts and mansions. That seems unsatisfying.
Dick measure with your peers, same as we all do after our absolute needs are met.
thats a man
do more philanthropy for eg. build a hospital just for the poor like those super-rich victorians did
Imagine buying an entire suburb and redeveloping it into a cyber city named after yourself.
What, Dave Simons? Why?
>Dave Simons? Why?
If that's your name you could name it Davetown or Simonopolis or something cool like that.

If you do that, those women will be called (Your Name) Models, not Victoria xD
People who get to this level of wealth are driven to work beyond the money it grants

This bitch divorced Jeff a few years ago and already married AND divorced some other guy since then.
You can't go back to regular guys after experiencing the girth of Bezos' dick
>What can you do with $10 billion that you can't do with $1 billion?
Have 10 kids and give them each $1billion
