I'm not sure I'd take a billionaire's view on envy. It always comes off as "Let them eat cake" to me.

I'd rather listen to someone closer to the bottom, who actually had to sacrifice for that viewpoint, like Jesus or a well adjusted homeless person.

Charlie Munger wasn't a millionaire all his life. And he lost a child to cancer when the kid was 10 years old. Besides losing both his wifes as well.

Reality is more complex than you make it. Not all billionaires are horrible people in case you didn't know.

But yes, enjoy your Jesus fantasy.
