    Some podcast I was listening to said you have ten years after becoming a billionaire when you are still normal then you go batshit because you’re surrounded by people you pay to glaze you and assorted sycophants. So you should only be a billionaire for ten years max.

      Yeah, when they never have anyone say “no” or “that’s stupid” or “shut up” the sycophancy makes them lose touch with reality.

      It’s actually a lot like AI psychosis.

      Shit like this is why you don’t tell anyone if you win the lottery. Just silently pay off your debts, continue working, and put the remainder in an interest-bearing account.

      If the people around you don’t know you’re loaded, they won’t be sycophants
