You certainly have a higher quality of life when you are not on the Forbes list. It just means that your security changes, and you're known for the wrong things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never wanted to be on any billionaires list. I never define myself by net worth. I always try to define myself by my values.
While, in general, life satisfaction goes up with wealth, beyond the safety net more and more wealth brings very radically diminishing returns on life satisfaction.
The richer you are and the more financial advisers you employ, the less likelihood there is that you can ever discover what you are really worth.
Not everyone can come and post on Forbes; it's a very distinguishing factor for us. We vet the folks who come on board.
I have a feeling that life as a billionaire in Silicon Valley is very different than the life that you or I would lead. Unless you're a billionaire; I don't know your financial situation.
I'm not a Mike Bloomberg billionaire.
Fame an fortune are nothing if you're not happy and healthy.
Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.
When you make a lot of money, it just means you made a lot of money. It doesn't make you a better person.
The quality of life decreases with heightened security.
