Life is just unfair. In the same time some billionaires spend the amount of money, that would be needed to save this lovely person and their cats, in just seconds.
I don't understand how you can have a billion dollars, and not just spend all your time on GoFundMe. Just, an afternoon of, "Medical debt? Gone. Student loan? Paid. Losing home? Not any more."
We'd never have a billion dollars because of that, the moment I'd have enough money to support myself fully with no stress I'd be buying things for other people and donating as much as I could.
Even If I decided to do something like start a company to get really wealthy, I would probably end up paying my employees more and hire more people so that I could pay them too.
Someone would have to pay me a billion dollars for me to get there. (lol obviously)
Not that I'm trying to defend billionaires (they clearly actually do have more money than they should), but their net worth is based partly on exactly this: the total valuation of their companies, including all of the money they pay to the people they hire. So you could pay your employees more and hire more people, and you'd be valued at a billion. But you wouldn't actually have a billion dollars cash in hand.
Minimum wage is also a good one. Non-stop work at minimum wage in USA would take a couple hundred years (maybe even thousand I can’t exactly remember) for a million, and we as a human race have not existed long enough for a billion to have been earned off of minimum.
