    Notwithstanding this reasoning, many uber-wealthy people consistently say that at some point money itself ceases to be a motivating factor. Once their net worth becomes a meaninglessly large number ir’s more about the thrill of seeing large-scale plans come true, overcoming huge obstacles, changing the world, feeling superhuman, etc.

      Billionaires and politicians say a lot of things. As long as they continue to hoard wealth like dragons while millions starve, I’m gonna think money continues to be a motivating factor.

        I don’t think we mean the same thing by “motivating” but whatever, yeah billionaires are bad and it would be better if we capped wealth.
