billionaire could give me %.01 of his wealth and change my life while he is virtually unaffected.
0.01% of $1,000,000,000 is $100,000.
Which, for some people, is as much as they’d make in five years of 60 hour weeks of labor.
And this is one hundredth of one percent of the bare minimum of being a billionaire.
Also, if the billionaire has a decent bank account setup (which, let’s face it, billionaire has), that $100,000 will just come back the next time interest happens. It is a perpetually regenerating $100,000.
I could get out of debt with that.
I could quit my job to start freelancing with that.
I could finance a good chunk of my child’s education with that.
And I would still have a tiny bit leftover for fun money.
Or you know you could work for it and not expect a handout.
why even change your life when you can just give it to the billionaire, right?
