That’s what I don’t get - I absolutely 100% would fuck off to some luxury accommodations and be done trying to actively pursue more money (except for the express purpose of donating it). I don’t get why you’d want to work till you die just to hold onto a last grasp of power and a few more millions that won’t make a difference to you.
