I'm willing to put the line at 100 million, but I could be argued down to 20 or up to 300. I'm not super invested in a hard line below a billion.

Something about having so much wealth rots the brain. You lose track of other humans and their lives and feelings and needs and value. If you have "going to space money" or even just "get away with crime with no consequences" money I don't think it's possible to be a good person.

I'd like to read studies on the topic honestly.

Agreed. There's a malleable point above maybe 10mil where I could see it being tied up in a business, put into trust for retirement, or a nice buffer fund for throwing charitable donations out left and right, but there has to be a top limit. Is it 100 or 200 or 300? Dunno, show me the studies.

I only need about 3mil to live comfortably without working at all for the rest of my life. 10mil would mean buying land, building a dream home, and then living off the grid in that for the rest of my life. And that's just on hand, zero annual income. To have more than that, and spend it constantly on food, luxury goods, vacations, etc, is bizarre to me. People who can do that edge into the "so rich they can't even conceive of poor people struggles" and once you're unironically buying yachts I think ethics almost immediately goes out the window.

Someone with 10 million could be a wildly out of touch asshole. But that could also be a nice house, a vacation house, and expensive hobby (horses?), a college fund for your kids and a retirement fund.

That person could be normal. That person could tip well and hold conversations with strangers and never order a course of action that kills people.

We know that kings are a bad idea but mayors can be fine.

Anyways yeah it's fun thinking about!

IDK, 10 million would be a stretch for a lot of that if you're counting on paying taxes on two properties for a long retirement and possible eldercare.

I could certainly make it work, though.
