I can understand the desire to continue to grow your companies, but no I do not understand the motivation to make more money when you already have more money than God. At that point, the drive to get more money seems like it’s primarily about watching a line go up.
It’s a subtle difference; I understand corporations trying to lower corporate taxes and the like, but there are lots of attempts from billionaires to lower their personal taxes by creating loopholes and bribing congress away from a wealth tax. That’s about personal wealth, and no, I cannot think of other reasons, no matter how dismissively you ask.
I save money to buy a bigger house, or fund my retirement, or to buy a car, but by the time you’re a billionaire you don’t have to worry about any of that. You can buy dozens of nice houses, you can stash away $20 million into a savings account and still be set for retirement, you can buy a new car every week, etc. A billion dollars is infinite money for an individual human, let alone multiple billions. It’s impossible to justify “more”.
