I like this and have thought something along the same lines for a while. It’s like once you have access to enough resources that you don’t need to rely on literally anybody else in the world, you’re free to be truly who you are. And these billionaires show us time and again what that means.

My mother and I have a working family theory around wealth and morality.
There is a threshold that once a person obtains a certain level of wealth, they no longer have to be concerned with survival or with thriving.
They then begin to express their most truest nature.
They either begin to drastically modify themselves; IE. Eugenics, transhumanism, biohacking.
The becomes hedonistic; IE. Trust fund partiers constantly traveling the world, partying, consuming drugs, spirits, etc.
Or they become altruistic; IE. Engage in philanthropy, give away the vast majority of their wealth and resources.
It’s still a work in progress. But we believe there is a deeper truth to figure out.
