I heard when you’re rich enough, everyone wants you for your money. I read wealth can literally change your brain too. (Not posting the article because it was basically an ad for one of the most expensive mental hospitals in the world, and I didn’t finish reading it.)

I’m mostly asking this for your judgements and reasoning of how rich our favorite treat-producing celebrities can be before you personally feel they’re no longer good people… I’m not sure what I mean by the word “good.” At some point they’re the CEO of their own empire, right? When does the addiction to being a liberal defending right wing abuse eventually become part of the riches?

    $100,000,000

    With that there’s nothing you can’t reasonably buy, even among luxuries, you can be comfortable for the rest of your life, and your extended family and descendants can be comfortable too even in a capitalist society. There are still people much richer than you so you’re regularly reminded that you’re not some deity, but you’re not really on anyone’s radar either.

    You can still be psychologically warped at this level though (you could probably be significantly warped at $5,000,000), but no healthy person would say: “I need more”, or “there’s something I can’t buy” at this level.
