That's a lifetime of work. Lots make less,most these days have 2 incomes. It buys a house,puts the kids through school,pays the everyday bills,maybe a nice yearly holiday. Hopefully we've socked a bit away for our golden years.

Some people make ten times that in a year. Or 20. Fine. But I don't understand people wanting to double that,triple that,year after year. You cannot possibly spend that in a lifetime.

This doesn't even bring up the billionaires. What good is all that money after you have,say,fifty million already?
