> And that's the pinnacle of what anyone would want out of life?

No one claimed that it was. Buying a mansion and shitposting on twitter isn't exactly the sign of being a failure, is it?

By all measureable metrics, I'd assume that his life is better than 90% of people that started life in the same socioeconomic class that he did.




Money doesn't buy happiness. Having Tony Hawk and Skrillex at your housewarming party is cool but they're not the same as friends.


> Money doesn't buy happiness.

I didn't say it does, but the clear fact of the matter is that there is literally no evidence that being rich leads to being miserable.

People saying "money doesn't buy happiness" don't realise that money doesn't bring unhappiness either. You can't use that statement for asserting that some rich person must be unhappy.


Sounds far better than being popular among Twitter journos, to be honest.
