Many very wealthy people aren’t like this at all.
As in they don’t flaunt it? Maybe.
All wealthy people buy nice shite. I had to explain what use tax was on a $300k piece of art to one client and another buy a soccer team in the last week

If you were a billionaire, you’d also live like one
Don’t be so fricking naive

So you havent read The Millionaire Next Door.

If you’re really well to do and not trying to look rich, I don’t see a problem in having nice things.
If youre at a point where 100,000 dollars is like 100 dollars then live life because you can’t take it with you when you die.
I say that if you’re not in debt and have your shite together and shite together to leave to your loved ones once youre gone.
Then party like it’s 1999.

Why do you care how others choose to spend their money?
And there it is - you’re just as bad as the people you’re admonishing.

One of the dumber question repeated ad nauseam on this site

Usually the one who determines what flaunting is, is the one in the envious position.

Sorry simple questions confuse you, Mingo.

You know he gives a ton to charity, as in billions?
Now understand, that good works dont get us into Heaven, or impress God, but certainly a critical fellow like yourself must give an awful lot to charity, right?

I understand it fine, it’s just a stupid question.
Those exist, no matter how many times your momma tried to make you feel better about asking them

My advice.... stay under the radar

If I had Bezos money, the actual Bezos would look fiscally responsible by comparison.

I want to enjoy the ride of life, stay low key and have something to pass down
You can’t take it with you. At some point it’s nice to live a little while making good money. For some people it may be taking 4 vacations and owning a camp on the water. For others it may be a Porsche and Rolex. I’d be miserable if I just watched my accounts grow and never bought things that I enjoy.
