I just watched Smartest Man in the Room, the Enron documentary as per many suggestions from the one WF thread. Awesome movie.. its just like boiler room.. It all reminds me of affiliate marketing in ways lol
Lots of people on here are rich, fewer on here are wealthy but I highly doubt anyone is mega wealthy. So this question may be moot asking it here, but perhaps someone has read a book or maybe knows of someone who has mega wealth..
What drives these people? In the documentary over and over they say greed and money was the only thing driving them, but seriously? I can't imagine these people being motivated by just money alone when they already have so much. I dont mean just a million, where you want a car that costs 2 million. im talking fucking so much money you cant spend it fast enough. My only other guess is power, although I didn't hear that mentioned at all.
It's cliche to say, but what the fuck can they possibly spend that on? they took a trip to baja mexico to ride dirt bikes and maybe australia.. wow what did that cost, like 50,000, INCLUDING buying all the dirtbikes? You can buy thousand dollar bottles of wine, but still ... having somewhere in the amount of 100 million just seems so otherworldly to me that I cant imagine how money would ever be such a driving force in those peoples lives, and continuing on once they already have it.
What do you think. Good documentary overall.. really liked it.
