But it's really all about agency. More money in the budget gets you nicer sheets to sleep on, fancier cars to drive, but money is power, and with $100 in your bank account, you desperately need that job. But with $10M in your account, you can tell your shitty boss to go fuck themselves. At $10b, you can buy your shitty boss' company just to fire your shitty boss. You also get to change the world how you want to be changed and guide the future of humanity. Okay you're not god but you get to personally make decisions to influence humanity's future. Edward Snowden gave up the rest of his life in order to do that. For $10b, you'd get to do all of the stuff that Bill Gates the philanthropist talks about. Or MacKenzie Scott after she divorced Jeff Bezos. And still live the rest of your life and not be exiled to Russia.
